SQUADRON BASE SHIP: ALLIANCE NAVAL
SHIP
RELIANT
The 45
th
squadron is currently stationed aboard the ANS Reliant , a Class
4 Carrier under the command of Captain Robert Foster.
Launched in 2125, the
Reliant has seen extensive action in the Lunar and
Europa conflicts. Decommissioned 20 years ago, it has been recently
refitted with eight level-6 twin-laser turrets, and called back to active duty.
You have clearance to enter the pilots’ quarters, wheel and briefing
rooms, and the hangar.
Move between ship sections by pointing and
clicking the edges of the screen with your mouse
. Access to sensitive ship
areas is restricted to authorized personnel only.
Use extreme caution where high-voltage, radiation, variable-gravity,
and decompression warnings are posted.
Welcome aboard.
“The other squads hate us. They
think we’re here because no one
else is stupid enough to fly these
buckets of rust. Some of them
think we’re just floating decoys.
They can all kiss my afterburners.”
—Michelle “Silky” McCrae
