The Coventry is an older Victoria class Battleship in Her Majesty's Armed Forces. However The Battleship Coventry wasn't able to retreat with the Guardian of Harris, MacDuff, and these days is forced to wander around Tau-31 looking for anyone willing to help its crew.
The Fruithful Past
The battleship Coventry was built in 792. A.S. in New London. Being a defensive battleship, Coventry was sent to Edinburgh where it was supposed to counter and combat Gaian units.
Later in 800 A.S. Coventry was ordered to move to Cambridge, where it was supposed to combat Rheinland Forces attacking civilians. Almost destroyed Coventry had to retreat and seek repairs in New London.
The Great Shift
Guarding Edinburgh, the Battleship Coventry was ordered to assist MacDuff, guarding Planet Harris in Tau-31, against Kusarian raiders. Few weeks later, Coventry was heavily damaged by the Naval Forces bomber squad and had to retreat back to the Edinburgh system. Heavily damaged hull and engines were suffering during slow moves of the huge Victoria class battleship, however Coventry made it safely to New London where the repairs on the ancient battleship began. Two weeks later was the Battleship Coventry ready for combat and began its movement to its original territory, Edinburgh. Later though, Coventry once again was requested to aid MacDuff and so the previous Commander Barrow did.
Coventry remained in Tau-31, defending MacDuff and Harris as good as it could. Naval raiders kept failing untill one day when the silence reached Harris. No raiders, no contact with enemy of the Kingdom, no contact with Kingdom itself due to old and damaged communication system on Coventry. So the battleship changed its course heading back to Edinburgh. Essex requested an assistance against the Molly battlegroup shortly after Coventry had arrived to its home. Barrow didn't hesitate for a mere second and charged ancient engines, turning Coventry towards Dublin.
Coventry together with the Essex fleet engaged the Molly battlegroup. Out of nowhere a Corsair fleet had appeared and engaged the Essex and Molly battlegroups fighting in the proximity of the BMM mining station. Few hours later, damaged Coventry was forced to return to New London after the Corsair fleet had been defeated and the Molly battlegroup had retreated back to Arranmore. Once again Coventry had to be repaired.
Serving in Edinburgh during the war with Kusari, Coventry was ordered to assist MacDuff against new threat, Gallic Royal Forces which destroyed remnants of the Imperial Navy. Raids became much more frequent and powerful and MacDuff which lasted several months guarding Harris against foreign forces had to retreat back to the Kingdom. Coventry was trapped however, not being able to get through now conquested Leeds or Edinburgh and Newcastle now being guarded and raided by Royal Navy. Once again, Coventry and its small fighter wing consisting of one Cavalier and two Templars had to defend themselves against Gallic Royal raiders seeking the easy pray in their territory. One battle however resulted in Coventry sustained a heavy damage, including destroyed communication system, damaged on 50% working engines, loss of some weaponry and death of Commander Barrow. His position was taken by tactician specialist, Commander Caroline White.
The Exiles
Coventry and its small fleet had to retreat to Tau-29 and hide behind the ice field, not really being able to combat Gallic forces. The loss of some weaponry and the communication system was terrifying at best, but the crew was trying as best as it could to fix the comm system so the Coventry could send a distress call. The only help for the exiled Battleship are the IMG or Maltese forces.

The Inner Battle for Coventry and Hannah's Speech
12/11 - The Rebels, a part of the crew which has decided to take control over ship and command chain by force. They didn't want to accept Command chain's decision which meant a straight co-operation with Maltese forces and serving under their flag, for their cause.
On the other hand The Loyal Forces consisting of more than 75% of marines were ready to eliminate these insects. Under command of Caroline White The Loyal Forces prepared for the inner battle for Armory on 7th deck and Nuclear Core room on 3rd deck. With a final speech Caroline White and Loyal Forces charged forward and with a battlecry tried to seize the Nuclear room while Alpha force consisting of 10 Marines led by Head Marine Officer Jacob Harrow attacked Armory under control of The Rebel Forces. Few minutes after the battle has begun numerous bullets were scratching metal walls of Coventry and first casualties were present. After 4 hours a huge explosion shook with Coventry as The Rebels detonated their bomb in the Nuclear room. The Loyal Forces won the battle however but many Marines were injured including Commander Caroline White, and LtCdr. Jacob Harrow. Both of them however were in critical condition.
2 days have already passed since the battle for Her Majesty's Ship Coventry. The bloodshed reached enormous size and many names have disappeared from the crew database. Battleship was secured, rebels were eliminated. However they managed to harm the most important part of the ship. Its nuclear core. Right now, Coventry is able to relocate and defend itself for a short while but many systems had to be shut down. Last dead bodies were carried out from the rooms which had been under rebel control to C hangar bay where the rest of bodies was silently resting. The death toll was about 43 soldiers from rebel side and 28 from the loyal side, but the number definately isn't final. Medics and soldiers were puttingdwad bodies into boxes which were supposed to be their coffins. Out of sudden the speakers sighed and familiar voice has spoken through them.
"To remaining and loyal personnel on board. Lieutenant Commander Hannah Gotha speaking now. I am here to bring you bad and very sad news regarding the death toll. Four more names, beings and lives disappeared from our universe. And these were:
Lieutenant George McIntyre, stay strong in the afterlife.
Ensign Michael Larrosh, it's sad to se our newest face disappearing so early. I am sorry.
Lieutenant Commander Jacob Harrow, thank you for your service and WE hope you'll be watching and protecting us from above.
And
Commander Caroline White, WE all thank you for everything you've done for US. Without you we would be either dead or captured by Gallic forces. May your soul find the right path to Heavens, Commander."
To everyone. Next day at 0900 will be last "Farewell" ceremony in C Hangar Bay, everyone is advised to attend this ceremony and remember memorials of those, who left our world. Dark days are here but we MUST stay strong and survive at all costs. May the stars guide us. Gotha out"
