In accordance with documentation procedures outlined by the Directorate involving any projects that touch upon hybridization technology be thoroughly documented at all times, the following project file has been established on a closed server under the direct control of Navarch Leviathan.

The purpose of this document covers the examination and restoration process of the cruiser 'INS-Subjugator' - Henceforth rechristened under the name 'Halcyon'. This project has been launched by Navarch Leviathan, to provide himself and his immediate staff a Mobile Command Center and rapid deployment platform in response to the ever-growing need for the Achlys as a defensive platform at Hardpoint Zero.

Staff have been allocated for analysis and stabilization of the vessel's structure in the post-action phase of its acquisition. Given that its procurement was not planned or expected. The Navarch wishes to make the best of this recovery, and restore this relic of his past into working order.

With this outlined, the task of restoration will not only be lengthy, but costly. The ongoing business with the local AI will likely provide many answers to the issues facing this project. Including the recovery of an old power cell, which we can convert into a new power source for the vessel. The AI have graciously provided us access to the drydock present at Secundus for the project, and the Pytheas under Venator Serapis is lending laboratory and engineering support with its staff to bolster Leviathan's requested reinforcements.

Logistical cost of the project will be outlined in a future report.

The Judicator is an unusual vessel, filling a rather particular role in the Legion's arsenal as a backline support craft. In lieu of major carriers, or enough Arbiters to strategically encircle key Navy positions, the Judicator was put into service to fill the gap. Though it wasn't without its few flaws, and even failed proposals. Be it a comparable weapon to the 'Star Lance' on the Archer, or specialized pods for atmospheric entry - the engineers on Leniex were looking to give their people another edge in combat.

No, that isn't a knife joke.

What the end result became was a series of variants on a platform built for cost-effectiveness. A small carrier. Small enough to navigate the backwaters of the Independent Worlds, and the nebulas and asteroid belts of the core Republic systems. What they lack in aesthetic design, it made up for in firepower and a carrier bay larger than other ships of its weight class. Not unlike a Geb in its earlier, heavier renditions as well.

It's my hope that this project will turn the outcome of my capture into something worthwhile. Something akin to my old mobile facility, in which I can support my people in a more direct and mobile fashion. The familiarity I have with this hardware and this vessel goes back to my time in the Legion itself. I recall its final designs hitting the board, and the many iterations I mentioned before.

There's opportunity here.

Pursuant to the outlined requirements of documentation of all financial records involved in the restoration and modification of Project: Halcyon, a financial analysis in regards to the acquisition and transportations of materials and components, as well as maintaining personnel during the reconstruction of key systems. This includes outlining the cost of life-related materials such as rations, water packs and fresh oxygen for continued operation.

Note: All estimates outlined below are just such - estimates, and not exact projections of final cost. Rather an outline of funds to be allocated and to where.




Analysis projects a significant cost, given the intent to push the limits of the foundation of Project: Halcyon as far as possible. Given the high investment, the Navarch is dedicating a sizable number of funds from his personal account to substitute the cost of the initial prototype. A model is being outlined by the Navarch alongside the R&D personnel currently on loan from Pytheas that - once on paper - will provide us an opportunity to give a more thorough analysis on the expected cost of revamping such an unusual propulsion system.

Further financial information will be identified and documented should it arise in future reports.
