Merchant Navy personnel,
Greetings from the Admiralty.
I have, during my posting on Gran Canaria, taken to fortifying our Merchant Navy by facilitating the following two ships procurement;
BAF|MN-Ranger - A former cruise liner of the Enterprise Class, fitted with Charon class heavy duty turrets, and capital grade armour for when it gets hairy.
BAF|MN-Encounter - A Percheron class transport, nicknamed the Honey Badger for it's extreme resilience.
The Percheron class of ships is the future of the Merchant Navy, offering considerable survival capabilities and cost performance. This ship is set to be fitted with Capital grade armour like the above. It is small enough for planet-side production, and I intend to scale up production to further the Merchant Navy transport fleet.
Likewise, I have taken the liberty to expand the class of ships usable by the Merchant navy, encompassing Liner class ships, as well as the Liberty Bison class. This will hopefully make up for our shortfall by some measure.
Regards,
Commodore John Redmond
