Species: human Tekachilon Star Empire (founded by terran emmigrants) Tekachilon Expiditionary Fleet, 3rd flotilla, 6th detachment Flagship: Modified Black Hole class Cruiser: TEF Relentless Captain: Commodore Sir Frederic Williams Crew: 1st Officer 2 junior officers 1 TIS Agent (Tekachilon Internal Security) 2 Sciencew officers 1 medic 2 engineers 2 pilots 1 Marine Srgt (armed) 2 marines (armed) total: 15 The Relentless has been retired early from active duty in the Tekachilon navy to be outfitted for deep space recon. Nearly half it's weapon emplacements have been removed to make room for extended sensor suites, leaving it with only 6 dorsal and 6 ventral particle projector cannons, which is still more than adequate for an exploration vessel. Most of the interior has been refurbished into either large storage rooms or scientific studies. It has been choosen for this job because of it's unique cold fusion reactor (much more efficient than the hot fuison or fission ones normally used, but at lower peak output). This reactor gives the Relentless the ability to operate for several years without refulling, and with the reduced crew it can even carry enough consumables for such a time period. The three ion reaction drives provide slow but steady propulsion and require a minimum of maintenace, unlike the deflector shielding, which is flickery at best. The Enhanced Molecular Bonding Armor (EMBA) is usually much more reliable. Weapons: Good Armour: Good Speed: Medium Sensors: Good Special craft attached: 1 Attack craft 1 Shuttlecraft Special equipment attached: 1 mobile field surgery kit 1 Engineering work suit 1 HEV-protection suit 2 'Prometheus' Flame throwers -------------------------------------- Escort: Pulsar class light Escort Cruiser: TEF Punisher Captain: Captain Jonas Thompson Crew: 1st officer 2 crewman 1 Engineer 1 Pilot total: 6 The Punisher is a fleet fire support cruiser, assinged to protect the Relentless. It sports smaller but more accurate Laser cannons instead of PPC's. This allows it to stay back and pick of the most threatening targets before they become a threat to the task force. Unlike the Relentless it uses a pair of fission reactors for energy and is thus more reliably on means for resupplying. Weapons: Good Armour: Medium Speed: Good Sensors: Medium Special craft attached: 1 Nightshade interceptor/heavy scout Special Equipment attached: None ----------------------------------- Support: Starfreighter 'Milkbar', designation Fr-12b/7 Captain: Lt. Kurt Garret Crew: None (except the captain) The Milkbar is the fleet supply tender assigned to this task force. It the largest ship capable of both landing and interstellar flight, though landing operations are preferrably conducted with shuttlecraft whenever possible. Excpet for following the larger vessels around and supply them as needed, this ship has no other purpose. Weapons: None Armour: Medium Speed: Medium Sensors: Poor Special craft attached: None Special equipment attached: light contruction mech
