Background and Further Notes:

---

Not much is known about the Utah outside the ESRD, aside from its glaring classifications and equipment. Other than that, the vessel itself is mainly a missing fingerprint in the Navy's Capital Ship database. What is known about the Utah is that her hull was originally that of a cruiser long before her time. The name of the ship, even when it was heavily debated, was eyed to be a reference to the old L.N.S. Utah, captained by the famous Marcus Walker, who sacrificed the older ancestor during the Order's incursion into Alaska.

The hull of the ship was originally that of the other vessel in Walker's battlegroup, the L.N.S. Phoenix. Her hull was scavenged, and later repaired into a functioning state, serving as a test bed for many experimental technologies designed to be incorporated into the Navy's new "Archer"-class cruisers. These 'experimental' techs were mainly nothing more than common bits of equipment super-charged to work at over twice to normal capacity. Up until 823 A.S., the Utah had never seen combat in any form, and thus many of the armor modifications were primarily tested using Liberty based weapons, as apposed to ones from the other houses.

With the current situation facing Liberty, and the Utah's reputation as a form of 'combat guinea pig', the decision was made to bulk up the ship's array of defenses, but the process is slow moving. Under the current command the Navy's ESRD section, she's mainly been fitted to work in a more conventional role alongside the dreadnought Salem, providing cyber-warfare suites to make up for the dreadnought's lack and immunity, as well as added capital support in the form of heavy weapons and the ship's expanded gauge 'Star Javelin' grade forward gun.

To personnel outside the ESRD, she's just another run-of-the-mill Siege Cruiser with a few bulked up parts. To those on the inside, she's a new breed of warship, and one that will be put into heat against any foe that strikes at the Liberty homeland.
