Comm ID:[LN]-LNS-St.Lo Class: "Defiant"-class Gunboat Combat Role: Close-Range Support, Reconnaissance Status: Active - Stationed at Battleship Yukon, California System. CO: Lieutenant Commander Alexander S. Kingston XO: Lieutenant Kyrah Lyang
Constructed in 815 A.S. as part of an earlier program for the emerging "Defiant"-class gunboats, the L.N.S. St. Lo (GB-622) was at first slated to be a stationary asset assigned to Battlegroup Gamma, headed by the Battleship Missouri. However, this plan was scrapped when her to-be CO Commander Richard Holland passed away suddenly weeks before her maiden voyage. To fill his shoes, Lieutenant Commander Sebastian Trebitz, a Bretonian native and veteran of eight years serving with the Navy, was designated as her commanding officer.
For two solid years, the St. Lo operated as part of Battlegroup Juliet in New Hampshire, stationed off the Battleship Whitefield, and helped to maintain order in the system. Accompanied by her sister ships, the Gambier Bay (GB-632) and the Guadalcanal (GB-620), on numerous occasions during patrols within the system, the three ships, as well as many of the fighter wings dispatched to accompany them, maintained the fragile peace that loomed over the system. When Liberty officially declared wartime upon Rheinland, forces of the Military began to occupy the system as well, quickly turning the system into a bloodbath.
In the following years of the declaration of war, the St. Lo and her sister ships fought against the Military in an almost ceaseless war. Pilots and crewmen of their patrols were lost on almost a daily timer, and with the loss of the Guadalcanal a year in, hope faded. It wouldn't be another year later until the Gambier Bay was discovered in a shot-out wreck near Planet Colebrook, but this only brought the crew of the St. Lo closer together. Her crew and her guns fought off the war, and once it was done, the ceasefire called, she calmed herself and tried to serve a life of quietness.
Today, the St. Lo lives on, a brutal reminder that warfare is never as clean as bureaucrats say it is. Stationed out of the Battleship Yukon in California, and with Trebitz retirement, the ship will have new stories to tell.
Service Notes: The L.N.S. St. Lo is currently stationed out of the Battleship Yukon in California, due to the rise in piracy and wartime problems in Magellan. She is currently under the command of Lt. Cmdr. Alexander S. Kingston.
