Battleship Thebes was an experimental capital ship built by the Order. This revolutionary vessel put into practise several studies of Nomad technology, including the Nomad energy distribution and power cells. These modifications allowed the Order to power a ship several times the size of the Osiris. Construction of the space frame was costly, but the Order deemed it worthwhile - the Horus class, as it was designated, would become a selfcontained colony, with ship production, civilian quarters, a carrier bay that could accomodate up to 40 fighters and 3 gunships, and an experimental micro-jumphole generator that would theoretically allow the ship to travel vast distances in seconds. Launch was scheduled for 817 A.S., but circumstances altered the plans.

Battleship Thebes was an experimental capital ship built by the [[Order]].

In 816 A.S., Nomad activity in the Omicrons rose significantly, especially in Omicron Minor.

Unwilling to suffer another critical loss as such, Order tacticians drew up an emergency evacuation plan. The Horus-class could accomodate most, if not all of the Order forces in Omicron Minor, and relocate them, safely out of reach.

Battleship Thebes was an experimental capital ship built by the Order. This revolutionary vessel put into practise several studies of Nomad technology, including the Nomad energy distribution and power cells. These modifications allowed the Order to power a ship several times the size of the Osiris. Construction of the space frame was costly, but the Order deemed it worthwhile - the Horus class, as it was designated, would become a selfcontained colony, with ship production, civilian quarters, a carrier bay that could accomodate up to 40 fighters and 3 gunships, and an experimental micro-jumphole generator that would theoretically allow the ship to travel vast distances in seconds. Launch was scheduled for 817 A.S., but circumstances altered the plans.

In 816 A.S., Nomad activity in the Omicrons rose significantly, especially in Omicron Minor. Order analysts suspected a major attack was inbound, not unlike the attack that almost destroyed their base at the end of the Nomad War. Unwilling to suffer another critical loss as such, Order tacticians drew up an emergency evacuation plan. The Horus-class could accomodate most, if not all of the Order forces in Omicron Minor, and relocate them, safely out of reach.

As predicted, the Nomad attack came, but the strength of the Nomad fleet had been greatly underestimated. Desperate, the Order even reached out to their human enemies, the LSF and the Core. While both groups sent ships, the battle was already decided before it began. There was no way the human fleets could stand against the Nomads - who had combined almost every single ship they had in the Omicrons. The Order had only one choice - Evacuate to the Thebes, and flee.

The Order knew the micro-jumphole engine could not be traced - but any ships left behind would also be unable to follow. A frantic evacuation of Toledo commenced. The Order knew that if the organisation was to survive, enough people and equipment had to be moved to the Thebes before the Nomad fleet broke through their defenses. In less then four hours, they had accomplished their goal: Thebes was loaded, and her engines were charging. Whatever ships could disengage and dock with the Thebes were brought aboard - but the Order capital ships had nowhere to go, and continued to delay the inevitable.

Leaving the battle behind her in a blinding flash, Thebes was thrown across Sirius. The experimental engines overloaded and were destroyed as the ship started its jump, but were successful in moving the ship. The Thebes was rendered immobile. Toledo had been lost, and spirits aboard the ship were low, but the majority of the Order survived, and could begin the task of rebuilding. Only a handful of survivors from Toledo would later join them in what was designated Omicron Mu, describing the total annihilation of the human fleets, and Toledo's surface.
