Brief history:
[color=#FFFFFF]Commissioned under Admiral Talon, the Retribution was designed to be the "checkmate" piece in the Liberty Navy. With increasing threats of hostile fleets attacking Liberties borders the Carrier Retribution was born, with it's compliment of 85 fighters/bombers, it's role in major fleet actions has proved invaluable. As with all Carriers, the Retribution's primary function is to proceed to any sector with hostile activity and launch small craft to clear the area, with it's own massive fire power, the Nimitz class can stand toe to toe with enemy Capitals while it's support craft secure the flanks.
The Retribution was commissioned in 814 and has seen several engagements, as a matter of pride her crew boasts the destruction of three Spyglass class vessels, 4 Rheinland Battleships and numerous smaller craft. She has been severely damaged several times, most recently in a massive engagement in the current Rheinland conflict.

Her role is ever changing, with Liberty as the hub of the Sirus sector facing numerous threats, always ready, always proud, her crew stands ready and at the command of the Admiralty.
