Director of LASP (Personal Details above Top Secret)

After the success of the Liberator Sentinel series of ship line combat tests and interaction within the LPI and Navy workings within the Liberty borders, we desired to expand the ship line into the capital series, rather than going through the less agile fighter classes. Not to mention we would probably never gain clearance from those stuck up Navy Admirals and the politicians of Manhattan. Can't they see the fruits of this project? We could replace the entire Navy with perfectly loyal units with no training time at all. A so called, instant army. As long as we have the industrial capacity off course.

Now, the status of the new Sentinel 201 Alpha, some of our best work we must say is quite successful after a long and drawn out process of ironing out the bugs that a gunboat has with a AI computer core. That overheating and control module delay was always a major setback. The engines were fine, along with the maneuvering thrusters after the Sentinel 187 Beta, that was a worthy test module to say the least. Yes, we have come a long way since Sentinel 101. It shall stay in active service, this, personality complex the unit is suffering from is quite unique, we shall examine this further.

Now to the Sentinel 201 Alpha itself, it is a standard Liberty Gunboat, but it is geared for a anti-fighter offensive rather than combat with other capital craft. A vanguard of the lanes to say the least. Its engine systems are the same as other gunboats, its weapon systems are somewhat limited missile wise. Due to the cooling systems installed in the Sentinel 201 Alpha, it had to take up room for some of the missile armament systems in the cargo hold of the craft.

This is the Director of LASP at Williard signing off.
