3rd Gunboat Assault Wing Information

It will not be an overstatement to say that the Third Gunboat Assault Wing of Liberty Navy Secondary fleet is a really elite military unit. It was created after one of the battles on Liberty-Rheinland border in year 818 when a group of gunboat captains and their crew have drasticly changed the course of the battle and allowed Navy fleet to regroup and counter-attack to finally hurl back Rheinlanders to Hamburg.

Now this gunboat wing successfully operates around Liberty, in Rheinland, in Border Worlds and even in Omicrons. Capable of taking down large ships as well as light craft, this wing got firmly established in numerous battles. It took part in assaults on Rheinland, successfully protected Texas from regular Phantom assaults and secretly operated in Omicron Delta assisting Zoners in large battle against the Slomon K'Hara fleet in August 818. Today it is one of the main quick reaction forces in Liberty with the biggest body count ever.

But even after being applied the eligible candidate should pass a lot of trainings, achieve a proper level of teamwork with other members of the wing and prove his skills in a real combat.

The Wing consist only of Liberty-produced Gunboat-class vessels. Most of them were constructed in the last years and correspond an proper example of Liberty superiority in open space with armor updated to Capital Mark IV, V, VI, VII and VIII level. The old ships used by Wing members also pass several upgrades including replacement of old armor plating and mounting the high-end navigational equpment.

All the members go through a large course of Forward Gun training and pass serie of tests including anti-fighter and anti-bomber training, tactical exercises and serie of duels with other captains.

After the incident with LNS-KittyhawkAssault11 captain Jason Wade that gone rogue due to personal relations with Alexis Glover, member of the Liberty Rogues criminal group, all the candidates pass a long interview with Liberty Navy officers and have to provide a curriculum vitae and information about their relatives and their personal relations.

Not a lot is known about his bretonian past, but in the age of 23 he got lost and appeared again only a year later, hardly remembering his past. Here is the citation from his resume to Liberty Navy:

"Last thing I remember was waking up in Pennsylvania hospital with no memories. I became Miner, when I got money I become trader. Because of pirate attacks I decided to join navy, and soon I become navy gunboat captain. After some time I finally formed gunboat wing from best navy gunboat captains I could find."

Kurt Konor

"I'm born at planet Houston - Texas system - 791 A.S. I'm the unique child of my family, my father Michael KONOR is pilot of a Guardian in the Liberty Navy force and my mother stay at home doing home work. But when I was 13 years old, my life turn : my father died during a Rheinland raid. I felt extremely angry, angry about the war, angry about Rheinlanders !

When I was 18 years old, I entered in the Liberty Navy force, I flew a Guardian like my father, but I knew that I could kill more Rheinlanders if I worked harder. My work was reward when I was 25 years old, I received the rank of Captain, captain of the dreadnought LOUISIANA ! I was so glad ! That took some weeks before I gain respect and trust of the crews of this ship but this crews are so skilled and disciplined.

Since this day, I usually lead our 2Nd fleet in raid in Hamburg system. Under my command I get lot of capitals ships, fighters, bombers and gunboats and specially the 3rd Gunboat Assault Wing, a wing of our best gunboats pilots!"

Rank: Captain of gunboat Spear-Assault2 Like many of the current Wing members, 32 years old Alexis Sky also became a victim of a strange accident in the past and it became a reason for him to join Liberty Navy.

"Last what I remember it was big explosion in the rocks, a lot of nomads and a lot of fire around. I waked up in my drifting cargo pod. I was piked up by Liberty patrol in Pennsylvania system. After hospital I have decided to join navy, because I have got tired from pirates attacks and demands, and soon I became navy gunboat captain. Seems it is from my past to be a gunboat captain. After some time I have finally joined to gunboat wing of the best navy gunboat captains."
