3. Exact name, identification and affiliation of the character:
CV-Ahkmim - Geb Order Assault Battlecruiser
Order ID
Order IFF
4. Why is this request necessary for the continuation of this character's roleplay?
With the Ahkmim's new goal of finding forces to join the resistance against the Order and Golanski's Overwatch, the ZoI restriction on Order warships is hindering the RP potential of the ship. Excursions will need to be made while Upsilon and her crew are off, and the Omicrons will no longer be safe for her to operate in.
Removing the restriction will allow the ship the operate more freely, while also avoiding the Overwatch and searching for a location to base the resistance out of.
5. What short-term and long-term goals are you planing to achieve on this character?
The current primary goal of the Ahkmim, and thus her captain Vex, is to overthrow the perceived dictatorship of Michal Golanski and return the Order to it's original goal of removing the Nomads from Sirius. To do this, recruitment of like-minded individuals, gathering of supplies and guerilla tactics to weaken the Order will need to be done, and as her flagship, the Ahkmim will likely need to be repurposed in some ways in the near future. Overall, the ship would likely evolve as time passes and RP takes place, resulting in stronger guns or shields, equipment and possibly further customization.

f* The transmission relayed to Honya, Vex and Kalh regarding the execution of Taskforce Strigori's orders.
8. How long has this character been building its backstory?
For several months, ever since the few weeks before the Order's attack on Port Carthage. Vex didn't like the Overwatch from the get-go, but over time her hatred of them began to grow even more until she outright pledged to fire on any ship she saw. While she can't just do that, it hasn't stopped her from speaking out against the Order over the past few months, and eventually joining and flying alongside their most hated enemy, Auxesia.
9. If you feel that you would like to provide us with character references, specify whom.
@Nodoka Hanamura as Honya, Nodoka and Pale Bride. Nodoka's support and friendliness to Vex has more than aided the Ahkmim and her on far more than one occassion.
@Vendetta as Keeper Leviathan. His knowledge of organization is more than just the main reason the Ahkmim is planning rebellion, not to mention that eerie mask.
@"Sombra Hookier" as Kyu Akibara. Without his acceptance of her help against the Order during the Carthage crisis, the Ahkmim likely would've been just a side-viewer as the Order laid the station to waste. She owes him his life, and then some.
@Kalhmera as Johnathan Kalh. A fellow Order defectee, their acceptance to work together to lead the resistance against the Order will likely help further pull the RP of the Ahkmim.
and logically
@Omicron as Michal Golanski. Seriously, without Golly, Vex wouldn't have the motivation to hate the Overwatch, and none of this would be possible. Massive kudos to him.

3. What exactly do you want changed?
Name change to: Scarab|CV-Montu
IFF changed to FL IFF
Addition of the vessels
Vex.Upsilon - Raven's Talon
CV-Beshmet - Hathor Gunboat
to the SRP, as they are both operated by Vex, stored on the same account, and follow the same RP she does, and give them both the same rephacks, ID lines, IFF and naming convention.
4. Why are these changes necessary?
The Montu, as well as the two vessels she smuggled out of the Omicrons, has taken a side with Captain Kalh of the Amenhotep, and begun the formation of a structured group to take on the job that the Overwatch has since looked away from. In addition to this, while still being her main platform for operations, the Montu is not her only method of dealing with the group's mission. Her own personal Raven's Talon fighter, as well as her co-operated gunboat with her XO, have since taken higher places in the way of dealing with issues. In addition to this, the transponder, now flying the colors of Battlegroup Scarabaeus, will need to be adjusted, and the IFF tweaked to match that of the faction.
Also noteworthy, both Vex's personal fighter and the Beshmet were originally omitted in the main SRP request, as the focus was solely on the Ahkmim at that time. Given that both ships are becoming more active in the overall RP, it seems sensible to add them to the SRP, and allow Vex to follow the same lines on both ships as she does on the Montu.
5. Provide possible links to the relevant forum roleplay.
This Independent Warship is the OCV Montu, and:
- Can engage any ship to defend allies.
- Can engage Order and Nomad ships.
- Can demand Nomad Materials and Equipment from ships and attack if they refuse to comply.
- While outside of House Sovereign and Controlled space, can engage any ship freely.
4. Why are these changes necessary?
The ship's SRP is rather dated, and most of the changes are mostly fixes to things that either need updating or are redundant. The ship has no need for a Freelancer IFF, as it isn't one, and would benefit from a straight blank IFF. The ID line changes are primarily to bring it into line with the ID rework that was done a while ago.
For the progression changes, the ship underwent a dramatic change after the events of Magellan. The crew, including Vex and Kryn, were slowly incorporated, albeit rather recklessly, into the ship's on-board database. This leaves room for the development of the crew as a whole into the Montu's operations in space, and will serve as an avenue for Vex for showcase the more unstable side of her personality after the forced integration into the ship's database. Nothing about this change from a story perspective was pleasant, and the final ID line should help to reflect any instability that may show itself.
Mind you, I'm not going to fly around shooting people willy-nilly, but it allows for things to happen that otherwise couldn't. It also paves the way for future RP development. Locking it to mostly non-house space will do just fine until the RP is developed a little further.
