Symbolic Flagship Returns to Nevers

Burgundy - The citizenry of Nevers, as well as the former aristocracy, was elated earlier today after one regional news team reported seeing what appeared to be the aged hull of Battleship Berry hovering in orbit. Further reports by N3 confirmed that the aging warship was once more within the gravity well of the planet, bringing much joy to many across the surface. Berry, formerly of the Burgundian Royal Guard, defected to the Royal Enclave alongside Rear Admiral Bastien Savatier after the Battle of New Paris just over a year ago, taking with them a considerable number of Nobility that were enjoying the perks of their positions at the time of the Monarchy's overthrow. Being an older ship, Berry was never known as a modern counter to the Council raids that littered our home territory during the Civil War, and was instead mostly a local training station for Royal Navy pilots on the homefront. The past aristocracy adored the ship, as did many citizens on our world, and many came to see it as a symbol of pride, much as Amiens had with the aging Saumur, both of with coincidentally of the same make and model and roughly the same age. The former Duke of Burgundy gave a short speech earlier in the week regarding the coming change that was sweeping our House as a whole, but refrained from any mention of Berry returning to Nevers entirely, either out of personal interest, lack of knowledge, or as interest to perhaps surprise the populace with the ship's return. Regardless of the case, the ship now sits in orbit not far from the Naval bastion at Avallon as it did in the past, operating once more as a training station for Naval pilots post-war. Many rumors in public circles have been raised as to the capabilities of the ship, but in an unpresidented interview the commander of the ship wanted to assure both N3 and the populace that 'the ship remains as capable as she was when she was first commissioned, and though the scars from our brief action during the recent conflict are apparent it will not stop us from performing our duty'.
