August 1, 3066 – Kerensky Blues has arrived, all fixed up. We have no Blake folks working on it, We just move over our own. We also do a deep inspection, just to make sure we have no spy devices or surprises on board. We don’t involve the Apollo Office at all (which was formed with help from Blake ROM). We don’t find any. (It never hurts just to check)
I trust Word about…..75% on stuff like that. No one else will do it well and quickly like they will.
It’s a Fredasa class WarShip captured from the clans by the Blue Star and Black Aces. It’s a corvette class Ship which is more of a fast raider, not an escort guy. It’s the sort of ship that can be used to escort some DropShips, blow out other DropShips, and win without needing additional problems. It can carry 20 fighters, 2 small craft and has a Dropring, so it can be its own escort service with the fighters and the DropShips too. It’s not really a good choice for facing other heavy WarShips, or several pocket WarShips. It’s not a picket, or somesuch. Has an LF battery too though.
After being defeated in a few places, it has very little clan weapons left, Blake and Dragoons have both refitted it as best as theycan do. They have some naval class stuff, as well as lots of normal weapons. It’s one of the fastest WarShips ever, sort of like the Dasher or Cicada or Spider. Be fast with it, keep it up, and you’ll do well in combat. It can get to the target craft and pick it down prior to the escorts getting there. That makes it a very different sort of ship.
Because of how different the ship is, we need someone truly skilled at the helm, so we promoted the XO from the Swift Justice to take over the helm.
A Fredasa, used right, should be able to take out a Fox (BV of a Fredasa is 48783, of a Fox is 39017). It’s mega fast, heavily armored, and has some strong game to bring. It’s a good, quality addition to our roles. (Aegis? 174094 BV Avalon? 156654 BV)
