Australis...

[Edge]

In the time span of two weeks, I managed to pump in enough credits into getting that ship operational.

It had basic propulsion, and my men were working on getting it`s ability to execute FTL jumps from system to system. Right now, it would break apart if I`d try something with it.

There were impediments at every step, the lack of life support systems were severely slowing my plans down. I had to wait, to have Artificial Gravity on the ship, which will mean the repairs will speed up abit.


One day, we managed to break through a titanium wall, 10m thick, protecting the main black box and ship computers. They were in prime condition, after all this time in which they were left to survive at the mercy of spatial elements. We rushed in with a backup generator, and reviewed the logs.


The original name of the ship, "Thor" wasn`t suitable for us now. I decided to think at a decent replacement later.


It has seen action in the 80 Years war. Being a part of the first wave, it took massive damage, and lost all sorts of propulsion within seconds. A few minutes later, the GMG bombers managed to hit the central power conducts, rendering the ship useless. They saw it crippled, and switched to the other capital ships which were coming to assist. So, that`s why it survived.


The ship missed the A-G decks. We moved the ship`s HQ to deck S, which had no battle damage. From there, we accessed the ship`s plans, and that`s how we found out of the ship`s MCU (main computer unit).


For the ship to conduct a travel of any sorts, it`d need functional engines, which were getting patched up. All we needed was some sort of protection against asteroids, and a mean to power it.
