Leeds Front

[guitarguy]

The newly minted commodore stood on the command deck of the HMS Resolute, a newly minted ship. Southampton had devoted nearly all its resources to fighters and bombers, but managed to make an occasional capital ship. One had to credit BMM's efficiency in ship building, which was of course heavily subsidized by The Crown.

The Resolute was commissioned as the 1st Battlefleet's replacement flagship. Originally, each battlefleet had a battleship, but as resources dwindled, the admiralty reassigned the larger ships to more dangerous areas on the front. The 1st Battlefleet's assignment was far less dangerous. It had been tasked with securing the flank along the trade lane to Newcastle. To date, no Kusari offensives had occurred on this side of the line, but many strategist feared it was only a matter of time until the scout Chimeras that harassed Leeds daily would find a weak point. However, Owen was hopeful. Kusari capital ships would be stuck in the asteroid field, meaning any attack would have to be fighters and bombers only. This only reduced the threat, however, as Kusari veterans could quickly unleash a surprise raid and circumvent the defenses.
