aye the design had to fit within the role play lore of the 75th faction, we are only a pin prick when compared to the numbers of the other factions within role play
75th has only 161 men and women within it. other factions are supposed to be massive with tens of thousands of people
129 enlisted crew on board the Fenice D'oro
17 Flight crew
and 15 enlisted crew on board the Fantasmi (a gull class transport used as the first flagship as its all Claes could afford)
the only reason we could afford to have this ship is because we performed deep scouting missions inside gallic space for the 81st, whom paid us a large sum of money for the intel, using that we fixed this ship up from a burnt out wreck that the 101st donated to us it was basically a piece of scrap that had been towed back from the taus to prevent capture. again all we could afford
and we got boatloads of help from the junkers, whom 75th are seemingly always reliant upon for good bargains. and while they supplied the equipment to make the ship whole again we decided to make some basic adjustments to save money further down the line.
unfortunately due to long series of dry spots, 75th is almost completely out of cash.
