DESCRIPTION

Established in 819 A.S. by Guildkeeper Daniels, Battlegroup #009 or “Ehrgeiz”, as it later came to be known was originally formed as a nimble attack wing and named after it’s flagship, Destroyer Ehrgeiz. Without an outstanding service record and unmatched kill count during the construction of Dagger Station, “Ehrgeiz” cemented their place in the Omega-55 system. Their unprecedented ruthlessness was crucial for securing the area during that period. However, in 823 A.S. they went missing. Rumors are, the entirety of the Battlegroup got obliterated in an ambush. Not even a single ship managed to escape and the assailants, much like the truth, are still unknown, to this day. However, in 824 A.S. Battleship Ehrgeiz had just rolled out of Alabama Shipyard and the Battlegroup was made a new. With Battleship Perditrix backing it up alongside a whole lot of fast movers, it’s back to it’s original modus operandi.

Two active R&D crews are kept on the flagship and are working around the clock on alien relics retrieved from Absconsum.
Gabrielle Daniels closely oversees the progress from her new position as Battleship Ehrgeiz’ XO.
Guildkeeper Jack Daniels remains in close proximity and that means his own flagship is close by. Many believe the Perditrix is the most advanced Core Mako in Sirius, surpassing other conventional warships by a large margin. This is exactly why Daniels used it’s blueprints and expremental technology to design the Ehrgeiz.
Apart from being Perditrix’s “Twin Sister” it was specifically built for Gabrielle Daniels.
However, due to unforeseen consequences, it was redeployed as Flagship of the program. The difference between the Ehrgeiz and Perditrix is mostly the crew.
While Perditrix is ran by automated crew members (A.C.M.), Ehrgeiz’s “staff” is composed of 94.8% biological lifeforms, or humans, most of them augmented for the job.
It features the same prototype drive core and advanced Azurite tech. The Ehrgeiz sacrifices some offensive capabilities in exchange for state of the drive core and engines and an absolutely massive CiC deck. In turn, this allows the XO to coordinate a system wide offensive from a mobile platform with advanced stealth tech. It was designed with the thought of being able to command the entire Core fleet on the go.

The Ehrgeiz participated in almost all Core operations in the Omegas and had it's fair share of action in the Omicrons too. Present on the original attack on Freeport 11 and later, the defense of Freeport 11, it suffered minimal damage, thanks to it's stealth tech and hyperspace capabilities. It's most recent feat was a rescue operation. Under the command of Gabrielle Daniels, the ship provided heavy suppressing fire against a heavily fortified malfunctioning defense grid, successfully enabling the Skadi to execute a cunning evac sweep and rescue Nova Hawken.

The Ehrgeiz was transferred to the Bretonia Armed Forces, in exchange for the Caesar.
