New Starship Opens Pathway to the Stars

-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Today, millions of citizens watched with anticipation
|
|
as President Nartin Lawsyn declared the USFS Roger
|
|
Chambers space-ready. He was joined by dignataries from
|
|
all over the planet. The ceremony ended when Mrs. Jennifer
|
|
Lawsyn smashed a bottle of Venuzian champagne on the
|
|
ship's hull, in imitation of an ancient Earth custom.
|
|
|
|
The Roger Chambers is the newest member of the United
|
|
Space Forces fleet. Not only that, but it is also
|
|
the most powerful. Sporting twice the missile loadout
|
|
and four times the engery weapon of any other USF ship,
|
|
she should be more than capable to handle any job she
|
|
is sent out to handle. Three more ships of the same
|
|
class are currently under construction.
|
|
|
|
For many it is a shining symbol of what we can
|
|
accomplish through our new found unity.
|
|
During the construction of the vessel, there were
|
|
many attempts by the rebels to sabotage her to destroy
|
|
what they thought was a fragile unity. They have
|
|
failed.
|
|
|
|
This new ship is captained by Captin Malcom Falco.
|
|
Captain Falco is a veteran of the three separatist wars,
|
|
the Illillian revolt, the Dellten Purge, and the
|
|
Harmon Jihad. Falco was a last minute replacement
|
|
for Amdiral Josiah Harper, who suffered an attack
|
|
of septicemia. We hope for his swift recovery.
|
|
|
|
Next week, Captain Falco and his crew will take the
|
|
Roger Chambers out for a shakedown cruise to catch
|
|
any problems before they turn into real problems.
|
|
Supreme Commander of the United Space Force, Grand
|
|
Admiral Harold Lawsyn told the assembled crowd that
|
|
the ship would then go on a good will tour of our allied
|
|
systems.
