Breaker of Chains
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Fleet of the First Sword is a recent fleet born out of the reorganization of the cult into the Order of Wonosa. After securing a home for his cult on Formos, Alisteri and Captain Skep Klar set to work on organizing the Altorius in terms of crew and function. With the frigate now fully geared towards a military purpose once more the cult looked upon their newest additions gifted to them fairly recently, a pair of Anubys-class corvettes with their compliment of IX-11 fighters, and soon began stationing crew aboard the new ships in order to train with them.
Although small in number and essentially lacking in standardization, the First Sword would prove to be the most valuable asset to the cult and serve as a prideful addition to their growing presence. Of course the tactics already used by the Altorius, those of ambushes and quick hit-and-run raids, would be the main basis for the First Sword's operations. Rather than spread out or face their enemies in open combat the fleet engages in almost Wolf Pack-like tactics and uses surprise and speed as their weapons of choice.
They do not nor can they risk being fired upon, with evasive maneuvers and decisive crippling shots being their main specialties. These tactics have been practiced and tried repeatedly against pirate ships and stations across Wild Space, each battle allowing for the inexperienced crews of the First Sword to gain valuable knowledge first hand. Slowly but surely the fleet is perfect their preferred methods of attack as they tighten their grip on pirate activity in the Formos sector, leaving nothing but ruin in their wake.
The Fleet of the First Sword, true to their name, stand at the ready to strike against any that the cult would level them against.
- Intent: Establish the fleet for the Order of Wonosa
- Image Credit: N/A
- Permissions: Permission to use the fighters and corvettes
- Links: Order of Wonosa, Altorius, Skep Klar
- Fleet Name: First Sword
- Classification: Patrol Fleet/Strike Fleet
- Affiliation: Order of Wonosa, Formos Industrial Coalition
- Fleet Symbol: N/A
- Description: The First Sword is far from a professional fleet, but it is a very organized and driven one. While small and with relatively inexperienced crews the fleet of the cult is no paper tiger or glass cannon, rather they are like a dagger. Instead of engaging in open battle or grand displays the First Sword instead relies on speed and discretion to accomplish their mission, striking into their targets when least expected and vanishing just as soon as they appeared. The fleet is anything but standardized, which isn't surprising given the nature of the wider cult, but even with few resources and a handful of vessels the First Sword lives up to its name and role.
- Headquarters: Formos
- Ports of Call: Wild Space
- Goals: Secure the Formos Sector and patrol Wild Space to eliminate any and all threats to Formos.
- Reputation: From within the Order of Wonosa the fleet is regarded as a subject of pride. To be able to field more than one ship let alone have them organized in any way gives hope to many within the cult that their safety and independence is assured. To the pirates, vagabonds, and other ships or stations that find themselves the targets of the First Sword the fleet is a ghost in the night, creeping upon stations and wayward ships and leaving nothing but destruction in their wake after a blindingly quick attack. Outside of the victims and beneficiaries of the fleet respectively though, the First Sword does its best to stay unknown and hidden. In general to those outside of the cult or the locals on Formos the First Sword is almost like a rumor, a small yet deadly fleet of dark ships that can appear from anywhere and leave behind little to tell the tale.
- Fleet Size: Small
- Lead Ship: Altorius, Vicar Class Cargo Frigate
- Composition:
- Principales Skep Klar, Captain of the Altorius, Commander of the First Sword
- Proreus Lantar Archam, Captain of the Vigil: Being one of the few members of the cult with naval experience before the establishment of the First Sword, Lantar Archam was once a mere crewmember bounced from ship to ship during the time of the Sith Empire. After his service aboard the Altorius following the collapse of said empire and due to his fanatical loyalty, Lantar was awarded a position as captain of one of the corvettes.
- Proreus Jolmaya Ruthray, Captain of the Requiem: Despite having no experience before the fall of the Sith Empire, Jolmaya Ruthray stepped up and was one of the first volunteers for the crew of the Altorius during the cult's pilgrimage. Although not as fanatic or zealous as some of her own crew or counterparts, Jolmaya holds a certain cold and brutal efficiency about her that made her a prime candidate for a corvette captain.
