Voyager class- Originally designed to be a deep space research ship, the gunship Recon was built with state of the art sensors and experimental engine systems. It was also one of the first of the Bounty Hunters capital fleet to be outfitted with a prototype nomad thruster. It was outfitted with standard VIII armor and minimal defense capabilities.
Duty Record-
Commissioned by Lt. Cdr. Reaves with a skeleton crew
Command was transferred to Lt. Cdr. Scott when trail runs were finished. The gunship was ordered to one of the rented Bounty Hunter hangers on Freeport 11 in Omicron Delta to study the captured nomad brains held on the station.
On arrival defenses on the Recon were increased to six turrets when it became clear that it would not survive with just minimal defense systems in the highly hostile system.
The Recon recorded its first of many kills in its Freeport 11 tour of duty against a corsair gunboat. Minimal damage was taken in the battle.
After destroying its seventh gunboat the Recons status was changed from deep space research vessel to warship.
Five months into her tour of duty, the Recon was jumped by two order gunboats. The 43min battle that insured after left the Recon with hull breaches and reactor leaks on multiple decks. After limping home, the Recon spent four months in dry dock for repairs.
On the Recons first patrol after her stay in dry docks, the Recon effectively disabled a corsair cruiser by her self. In light of this accomplishment her commander, Lt. Cdr Scott was promoted to full Cdr. and given the Knights cross for bravery.
After serving ten months at Freeport 11, Cdr. Scott asked and was given new orders to take up station in the New York system to help with the growing crime rate in that area.
