Description
One of few Battlecruisers to make it out of the battle of Omicron Minor, the WV-Vulcan fled from Minor as soon as it had the chance. Upon arriving back in Core territory the original Captain of the vessel, Templar John Fate, was publicly executed for his cowardice. His crew were stripped of their ranks and forced to serve several months of hard labour on Alabama Shipyard. Once the crew had served their sentence they were reappointed to serve on the Battlecruiser, the Vulcan was then recommissioned with a new captain and appointed the task of guarding the Luneburg hole from hostile threats.
Due to its foul history, the Vulcan is one of the less-liked vessels within the Core. Currently seen as dishonourable, its new captain desperately seeks to alter its reputation. However Core High Command often takes advantage of this status, and will sometimes force pilots to work on the Vulcan as a punishment for failing their objectives, whereby they are then ridiculed by their peers.
