Capital ship

[Dantrithor]

Patriot, please relax. See it from this point of view, real life-wise (which, in this case, i can see as aplicable):

When you purchase a ship, you do not only pay and receive instantly a completed vessel, specially with capital ships. What you pay for is for the constructions fees for a military-grade war ship. That includes construction personell, dry docks fees, materials, and authorizations. Do you really think that a military/paramilitary organization would authorize the construction of (any) capital ships for a newcomer to their ranks, just because he has the money? No.

He would have to be tested for loyalty, combat and command skills, etc.

And even if you somehow managed to get such a ship and authorizations, where would you find 500-2000 crewmembers from order ranks willing to fly in a war ship which would enter combat commanded by a non-experienced captain?

And that is why they are asking you to make up a decent and detailed roleplaying story about it, so it can justify the enormous ammount of work and confidence required to set-up such a vessel for an organisation so limited (resource-wise) as the order.
