1. GENERAL OVERVIEW

---

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.

The preliminary status report is as follows:

- The primary engine housing and three Liberty-based fusion engines were completely destroyed. Afterburner system was destroyed in the process.

- Deck three has been completely depressurized as a result of an internal blast caused by close quarters combat, and the reckless use of explosives by one of the parties involved.

- The communications array has been dismantled and repurposed for power conduit jury-rigging by its former crew.

- Weapon capacitors have been overloaded and require an overhaul - or complete replacement.

- The external hull is covered in battle scoring and blast marks. Several sections of panels had taken direct hits which were never addressed over the years of its independent operation, with some being recently created as a result of the boarding operation.

- The internal superstructure is under tremendous strain as a result of a lack of proper maintenance beyond field repairs for an indefinite amount of time.

- The internal plumbing system appears to be suffering from decay and has several leaks that have been diverted to sections of the brig.

- The avionics and computer systems are fractured and operating at minimal capacity.

- The primary reactor is off-line, and the vessel has been running on emergency power since arriving at Secundus. Steady fuel shipments via Draugr have kept the generator operational.

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.

FILE COMMENTS: Notes

---

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.
