Cobra.

It's been a while, and while I don't generally make excuses, you can imagine the formation of the Insurgency, along with all of the noise in the Taus causing more than expected workload. But I do have your ship.

Within Bering, there is a siege cruiser formerly dubbed the Cleveland. It melted down one of its reactors when pursuing the combined Harmony and Hellfire forces within Bering, the captain a little too eager to fire the forward cannon. One engineering compartment is a radioactive hazard, so I would recommend shielded suits before moving in to clean it out. The primary reactor in question is useless, but the main drive core and the secondary reactor are both fully operational. Power conduits between the reactor and the forward gun have melted into uselessness, but the cannon itself is, according to the most recent diagnostics, operating at seventy-five percent efficiency. A little bit of a tune-up will be in order.

Bring a crew. You'll be surprised how intuitive the bridge and operation of a siege cruiser is, and any crew of yours that has been on a transport or a Defiant would not feel particularly out of place.

Follow the lane out from the gate, and cut off to your left early, about two rings. It'll be harder to get out with your prize if the Concord is alerted otherwise. Tune in to the same frequency as this channel, and you should pick up the pings being broadcast from the Cleveland. It will be in the shadow of one of the large asteroids, and your navigation should be able to lock on to its broadcasts within a couple of kilometers. Like I said before, do not enter the main engineering compartment unprepared for radiation.

While not capable of combat yet, it will fly under its own power, and get you to where it needs to go for further repairs. I would have done more for it, but it's hard enough to make a cruiser disappear.

I won't tell you what to do with your ship, but however you decide to get it fully operational, I can only ask you point the cannon at the right people afterwards.

In service to the Republic.
