Summarized History Liberty “Osiris”-class Battleship The sister ship of the Order’s infamous flagship, the Osiris, the Akhetaten is the only other vessel of its class ever constructed natively by Liberty. Following its deployments in the war with Rheinland and later the Gallic Invasion of Sirius, the Akhetaten was left abandoned by Navy Command, mothballed in naval drydocks, until one of its few surviving officers, senior-most among his peers, petitioned for the ship’s reactivation, repair, and reintroduction into active service. Now entering its third decade of service with the Liberty Navy, the Akhetaten has received numerous refits, serving at times as a stealth-reconnaissance ship, ship-of-the-line, or support vessel. While outdated and underpowered compared to late production Overlord or modern Mitchell-class dreadnoughts, continuous modernization efforts have maintained the Akhetaten’s competitiveness in both solo and fleet operations.

Both of her parents worked for the Liberty Navy, but their stories would both end tragically. Her mother would participate in Universal Shipping convoys as an escort quite often, one of which would end up being the end of her as they got ambushed by a pack of Rogues. Nobody made it out alive. Her life was brought upside-down when her mother died, leaving a twelve year old Maria behind with her father. Her father became a lot more strict with Maria after those events while at the same time he fully dedicated himself into his work. Maria grew up without having any friends as a result of the scars created in her from her mother's death and her father's attitude. She was what you'd refer as 'the lonely girl' in every class she took part in, but that of course had it's positives. Maria was consistently the top student, her efforts of course not being recognized by her father however. The next two decades of her life went by in a similar manner. Maria ended up joining the Navy after multiple talks with her father, just after she was done with her education. At the age of thirty-two she would become a Captain and be assigned in command of her first battleship. Life, however, still decided not to go easy on her. Maria's father took part in the war between Liberty and Gallia, unfortunately losing his life in Liberty's final stand against the battleship Carcassonne and her fleet, at California. The loss of her father when Maria was only at the age of thirty-five devastated her once again. She spent the next year hopping in and out of various hospitals, and going through many psychological exams before the medical personnel would let her back into the Navy. When she returned to her job, at eight-two-six after settlement, Maria was much colder than what everyone remembered. Her experiences along with the various ins and outs on hospitals surely had taken their toll on her well-being. She still is, up to this day, however a much respected Captain, her commanding capabilities being second to none. She was proudly assigned with commanding the battleship Akhetaten on the seventeenth of September, eight-two-eight after settlement, after ex-Commodore Christopher Edwards filed his resignation from the Libertonian armed forces. Maria continues to command the Akhetaten with incomparable might and decisiveness to this day, rendering it one of the most feared battleships to Liberty's enemies and a valuable asset to the Libertonian war machine. Samantha Brown - XO Appearance Height: 179cm Weight: 71kg Hair color: Light blonde Eye color: Hazel Qualifications Language qualifications: Libertonian - Proficient level Flight qualifications: 2 year basic flight academy course 2 year basic snubcraft course 2 year basic capital ship course 2 year advanced capital ship course Other qualifications: [ERROR: DATA MISSING] Combat Training [ERROR: DATA MISSING] Biography Samantha was born on Planet Denver to an economically well family and her childhood and teenage years passed by without any difficulties. Her father was a mercenary, working mostly as a convoy escort, while her mother had an office job in the Liberty Navy. The loss of her father at the age of seventeen struck Samantha hard, effectively changing her life from that point on. She completely let go of any dreams she had about growing up, and living the rest of her life, planet-side and - despite her mother's attempts - decided she would follow her father's desires and become a pilot herself. Less than a year after his sudden death, Sam would find herself applying to the Liberty Navy Secondary Fleet at West Point Military Academy. The positive response which arrived a few days later hit her with great surprise and fed her with the much needed confidence in order to proceed with her goal. She entered the Academy and begun her courses; a total of six years worth of training, after which she would be a capable pilot both in snubcraft and in capital ships operated by the Libertonian armed forces. The next six years of her life would go by swiftly as she alternated between the Academy, during her training months, and her home at Denver during her various vacations. After she was done, her instructors and herself noticed that she had a preference towards flying larger ships and she showed an increase of performance in those ship classes. She was offered to attend to two more years of advanced capital ship training - an offer that only a fool would turn down. Once her training was complete, and at the age of twenty-six, Samantha walked out of the Academy in her newly acquired Navy uniform and headed home to a very proud mother - despite her disapproval of her daughter's life choices. Sam wouldn't waste any time before beginning to work for the Liberty Navy and she would quickly gain respect among her ranks - after all there weren't many officers that had a whole eight years spent in West Point before being in space. After two years of gaining even more experience in the field to back up her theoretical knowledge gained from her training, Samantha thought it was about time to join a primary fleet. Looking through her options, she made her decision and applied to the Forty-Sixth Fleet, hoping to receive a similar notification like the one she did ten years ago. Today, two years after her initial approval, Samantha has reached the rank of Captain within the Forty-Sixth Fleet and has seen many successful operations under her name. During those two years, Samantha has had the time to perfect her flying skills outside the common simulators, and she has become a fearsome gunboat captain, recognized by many as a major threat to the opposition. A significant chance was provided to the young Captain to evolve her career when the Fifth Fleet's Akhetaten transferred over to the Forty-Sixth. With the warship being long in requirement for a new executive officer, the Fleet was more than capable of fulfilling then Commodore Maria Uhmen's request. Captain Samantha Brown was the individual that was lucky enough to be chosen for that spot, and ever since then her life within the Liberty Navy has changed drastically for the better. Samantha continues to serve Liberty with great pride, honor and commitment as the Akhetaten's executive officer, occasionally being seen taking command of different gunboat sized vessels in order to eliminate any bothersome threats. Laurette Silva - CCO Appearance Height: 169cm Weight: 62kg Hair color: Brown Eye color: Blue Qualifications Language qualifications: Libertonian - Proficient level Kusarian - Proficient level Flight qualifications: 2 year basic flight academy course 2 year basic snubcraft course Other qualifications: [ERROR: DATA MISSING] Combat Training [ERROR: DATA MISSING] Biography ██████ ██████ was both in planet New Tokyo from a fairly wealthy family. Having the best teachers and managing to reach adulthood passing every exam with flying colors, ██ had every opportunity to become something big in ███ life. From a very young age, ██████'s dream was to explore Sirius and much to ███ parents' disapproval, ██ would go to one of the best flight academies in Kusari to learn how to fly a ship. The basics were very quickly understood, and ██████ was able to move on to more advanced lessons, finishing the academy and being granted with ███ diploma after two years. ██████ immediately left home and started wondering around Sirius, slowly beginning to fulfill ███ dream of free exploration. Not wanting to rely on ███ parents' economical support, ██████ would use ███ skills to provide escorts and fulfill scouting contracts all around Sirius and for whoever paid the most, making ███ name well known. Soon enough, large companies would begin hiring ███ by their own request, leading ██████ to climb the salary ladder a lot sooner than ██ had anticipated. Out of all of ██████'s journeys, one would leave ███ impressed. On 827 A.S. a convoy ██████ was part of lead him into Liberty Space, a place that - after seeing - ██ did not want to move away from. Slowly growing to love Liberty and often finding ███████ flying around aimlessly helping people left and right, occasionally informing the authorities of smugglers ██ saw flying by, ██████ knew that this is where ██ wants to spend the rest of ███ life in. Being a fairly new, but experienced pilot, ██████ decided to apply for the Fifth Fleet. [ERROR: DATA CORRUPTION] About two years into Laura's career with the Fifth Fleet, an opportunity was presented to her after a major change in the ranking structure within the crews of a recently re-introduced Osiris-class battleship, the Akhetaten. With the warship's current commanding officer retiring from the Navy, the shift in ranks left the spot of the chief communications officer free. Seeing Laura as a valid candidate and after placing a temporary and more experienced individual on that place, Laura was selected by the Akhetaten's new commanding officer, Maria Uhmen, to take up the spot of communications officer aboard the ship. Showing great discipline, decisiveness, diplomatic skills and patience, Laura quickly made a name for herself within the crew and in minimal time had taken over the spot of chief communications officer aboard the Navy battleship. Her career would continue in the exact same way for the next year, after which the Akhetaten would transfer over to the Forty-Sixth Fleet. After the transfer to the Forty-Sixth - and perhaps for a few months prior to that - Laura's performance has been questionable at best. Having been disciplined a number of times, including being temporarily demoted, Laura's conduct constantly puts the ship's commanding and executive officers hard at work attempting to cover up for her mishaps. Uhmen - who's patience is close to running out - is doing her best to convince Brown that Silva is not what Brown has seen so far and that she can get work done, while the latter is having a hard time to believe her superior and has requested Silva's removal from the crew - or at least permanent demotion - a number of times.

The LNS-Akhetaten was constructed at Juneau Shipyard, [REDACTED]. The battleship has been in service since before 811 A.S. with multiple successful assignments on her name, the most notable ones being a number (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) of operations in deep Rheinland space and the Tau systems. The Akhetaten was repurposed multiple times during her service, primarily operating as a deep space self-sustainable reconnaissance unit. It is believed the battleship fell victim to the Gallic forces during the war and was disabled after an unsuccessful operation by the Carcassonne and her fleet at 824 A.S. however no intelligence downloaded from the on-board black box confirms this incident. The Akhetaten was towed back from the Manchester system suffering heavy damage and multiple casualties, destined to spend the rest of her time forgotten in one of Juneau Shipyard's dry-docks.

No more than 2 years later, a former crew-member and Commander on board the battleship woke up from a coma only to find out that the Akhetaten was never repaired, abandoned by the admiralty as a failed project. After spending the next months recovering from his injuries his immediate goal was to get the Akhetaten repaired and battle-ready once again. The former Commander contacted the 1st and 5th Fleets as well as the LSF requesting clearance for the Akhetaten to return in active duty. His request was accepted under the condition that he would be the one to take command of the vessel, being the most capable man alive out of the few survivors. Christopher Edwards gladly accepted the admiralty's proposal and begun overseeing the Akhetaten's repairs for the next two months before the battleship was in full combat-ready state. Captain Edmund Mallory, a respected officer within the Navy and a friend of Christopher, offered his help in the Akhetaten's re-purposing through the recommendation of capable crew members for Edwards to assign into the Osiris-class battleship. Numerous training exercises would follow to ensure that the battleship's crew were ready for the task that was at hand - optimal operation of a prototype warship - with Commander Jeremiah Sawyer of the First Fleet taking part in the most notable of the exercises.

The Akhetaten would resume serving the Republic, taking part in many operations over the next few months, including defending allied installations, recconnaisance missions in the newly discovered Omicron Nu system, responding to an emergency within Alaska and wiping a sizeable invading Nomad fleet, and taking down the Discovery, a well known Insurgency asset and a considerable threat to Liberty. All of the missions the Akhetaten would partake in and the numerous incidents of direct cooperation with vessels of the Fifth Fleet as well as the ship's history with it would eventually lead Edwards to request the Akhetaten's return to the Fifth.

Now part of the Liberty Navy Fifth Fleet, being deployed in multiple high-interest areas such as Coronado, Kansas, Vespucci and Kepler, the battleship has proven to be highly capable in dealing with everything thrown at it. With her work being recognized by the Republic the battleship is expected to have the ability to operate under harsh conditions and is equipped to be able to independently carry on operations should the need arise. Most of the equipment the Akhetaten is equipped with is highly classified, featuring the most advanced counter-intelligence and cyber-warfare systems known to humanity with a vast array of sensors at her disposal. Coupled with her deadly weaponry arsenal and hull hardness, the battleship is a force to be reckoned with. Of course, the battleship's purpose goes beyond combat alone, with the warship taking part in numerous diplomatic talks, intelligence sharing and even reporting troublesome individuals to the Liberty Police Incorporated. The most notable task the Akhetaten has managed to achieve is the cooperation between the Fifth Fleet and the Section Eight, documented for ease of reference by the Fleet. The warship's actions and all the tasks related to it would directly effect the future of Liberty, shaping it in the way that was deemed by the Fifth Fleet to yield the best results for the Republic.

With the ship's fame and responsibilities increasing over time, Edwards quickly realized that being able to rapidly move around key systems was mandatory. With the Akhetaten's already installed jump-drive, all the warship needed was a way to access up-to-date coordinates, which Edwards would leave to The Starfliers to handle. However, it would become apparent to both him and the Fleet's Command that the Akhetaten was beginning to face even bigger issues, issues related to the age of the vessel. It was no secret to anyone that the Akhetaten is an old ship, commissioned on May 1st of 803. Scrapping the project however would seem to be a rather foolish idea after seeing the great successes it has been bringing to Liberty so far. Instead, Command decided to approve of a re-purpose of the ship to match today's standards, bringing it up-to-date with the warships she has to face and the tasks she must accomplish. Edwards would be tasked with contacting Deep Space Engineering, Ageira Innovations and Universal Shipping Incorporated in order to handle supplying the materials that were necessary for the completion of Project Akhetaten.

With the ship's commanding officer, Christopher Edwards, resigning from the Navy on the 17th of September of 828, after the vessel's XO, Maria Uhmen, convinced him that his conduct would be harmful not only to him but the entire warship, she took charge with the goal of learning from Edwards' mistakes and making sure they will never be repeated again. The warship would continue it's tradition of reinforcing the diplomatic relations between the different fleets of the Navy, including ships of the secondary fleet, and was also the leading force that would be moved into California in order to ensure the safety of the system, ensuring that curious Freelancers would not get involved in the Navy's business in the vicinity.

With the Forty-Sixth Fleet requesting assistance in Vespucci, the Akhetaten would be ordered to resupply at Norfolk shipyard and be re-deployed in Kansas, following Battleship Delaware and her invasion deep inside Insurgency space. The Akhetaten would remain with the Delaware at all times, with the two battleships and the battlegroup following them managing to cleanse the entirety of Kansas system from any unlawful entities before marching into Vespucci for the final push against the Insurgency. The Akhetaten would pull away from the Delaware in order to return to the California system, with LIBWESTCOM being left in a weak state after the Osiris-class was deployed into Kansas. The Delaware would be destroyed by the Insurgency during the final assault, granting them some degree of freedom of movement in the region. The LSF would soon acquire worrying intelligence regarding movements of large Insurgency fleets through Magellan and contacted the Akhetaten to warn the battleship of a possible Insurgency invasion within California. Uhmen, seeing the currently weak state of California after the Navy's resources were allocated into Vespucci would send an emergency transmission to all Liberty forces operating within the Akhetaten's vicinity, requesting their presence in the California system. To nobody's surprise, the Insurgency would in fact invade the system, managing to inflict massive damage on the Akhetaten and putting the battleship out of service for a short period of time before their forces were completely wiped out. These events would lead Uhmen to contact the Fleet Admiral of the Fifth with the request of forming a battlegroup around the Akhetaten, with the idea being accepted by the Fleet Admiral and implemented immediately as Task Force Akhetaten, lead by the flagship LNS-Akhetaten.

The Akhetaten's actions and her numerous successes in the field would grant the battleship with the Presidential Unit Citation award, her service being recognized by the Secretary of Defense and all of the Liberty Navy. Today, the Akhetaten is serving the Republic both as a warship capable of operating behind enemy lines and as a powerful foe to face in direct combat, with Task Force Akhetaten being formed under the battleship's command.
