So the next question Essex is worried about is fighter support. What if they have a ton of fighters all over the plane they can launch?
Yeah, so Col. Larry Rowe can head out with his fighters, and we’ll need the Vengeance for sure. Our Vengeance and Swift Justice, alone, is about 60 fighters, that’s likely to be enough to defeat our foes, barring something truly unusual.
Can we capture the Brest?
This would require us to secure the vessel. The Manassas was captured by Smoke Jaguar from Capt Lewis because his CO didn’t really trust the strength of the clans. Plus the clans used their Elementals in mass on the outside of the vessel, punching in holes, and breaking stuff in.
We could use battle armored infantry. What about jump capable mechs? That’s been a common theme too to capture aerospace assets. That’s possible as well. The Battle Taxi though, that’s probably the best chance of getting in and stealing the WarShip. We could load the vessel with ten Battle Taxis, instead of their normal components.
We could also just disable the Fox without destroying it. If we do that, we can salvage it. Although we’d have to fix it up before bringing it back home – that could take months. Or even a year or so. That’d make us a high profile target for a retribution strike to reclaim a Fox Warship.
