Battleship Schwerin


The Schwerin, one of the newer battleships, has been placed on permanent deep space assignment in the Omega-15 system. Its primary function is to guard the Omega-15 - Dresden jumphole from Corsairs to keep them out of Rheinland and is under constant attack because of it. It also keeps an eye on the nearby debris fields to make sure no one finds anything too important from old military experiments.

Commission on board is almost completely voluntary and its crew receive double the standard pay, however it is also a favourite punishment to send disobedient pilots there. Schwerin pilots are considered to be the craziest in the military and consume more liquor than any other fighter crew. So much so that there motto is: "Just as good in a dog fight as a bar fight."

The ships bar is full of rumores that the ship is going to begin a search for the Corsair home world and bomb it to dust from orbit in the next few month as retaliation for Corsair attacks into Rheinland, but most believe this to be a combination of drunkenness and wishful thinking.



(I just noticed that I misspelled Westfalen, fixed it now. I will add at least one per week.)
