Omega Pirates Guild Capital Ships

Legate class dreadnought

Torquemada

The scars on the Torquemada's hull is a testament to the ship's long service history and a symbol of the OPG's long struggle to the current day. In the OPG’s early years the Torquemada served as both flagship and base of operations. A Legate class dreadnought however isn’t best suited for rock populated environments like Omega 5 so the OPG moved into Cadiz base, and the Torquemada became the OPG’s symbol of strength in Omicron Gamma, orbiting Crete. The ship has been repaired so often after many fights during her defence of Crete that it is doubtful that any original component of the ship remains.

When Gentle went mad he commandeered the Torquemada and took it with him. Blackbox records examined after the ship was recovered show the ship went to Omicron Delta, then jumped to an unidentified system. Records end soon after that jump. Yanagi depot sensors detected the ship months later, unmanned and drifting in Omicron Delta.

Scientists boarded the Torquemada to investigate, but found nothing. No traces of Nomad or otherwise suspicious activity. The entire ship was empty and clean. Rumours of Nomad abductions and ghost stories were rife until the ship was officially re-added to the OPG’s fleet with a new crew. No suspicious behaviour has persisted.

During refit of the ship Kusari capital ship engines were procured through the Hogosha and installed on the Torquemada, but initial testing proved they were incompatible with the powerplant so the thrusters were reverted to Corsair made grade II thrusters.

Osiris class battleship

Lagrima

Retired 816 AS

The Lagrima was bought from an elderly Corsair don who was retiring from military service with funds the OPG had procured through credit piracy spearheaded by Ivan. The old Osiris class battleship had several issues, among them an instable powerplant, failing thruster array, and slow turret rotation actuators. When the Lagrima was almost torn asunder by a Bounty Hunter ambush in the Malvada cloud, it was clear the Lagrima's fatigued hull was no longer servicable even with mkVIII capital grade armor and the decision was made to retire the vessel when a suitable replacement was found.

Once the OPG had the resources to produce a new ship of Osiris design, the Lagrima was retired and let adrift into the star of Omicron Gamma. Some say the Lagrima was’t retired because of hull integrity issues as the official reports state, but because Gentle thought the name was unforgivably womanly. Gentle neither denied nor confirmed these claims.

Exorcismo

The Exorcismo was built to replace the Lagrima as the primary light battleship of the OPG. The Exorcismo inherited the Lagrima's Heavy Mortar cannon as requested by Alexa Cordova.

Aquilon class battleship

The Neutrality

The Neutrality was an ironically named Zoner Aquilon class battleship which was purchased by Adamo Locotes a young Scourge of the OPG. Reports are unclear how he acquired the funds for the ship, but because of it's numerous succesful missions many a Corsair is grateful for it's acquisition.

Since Locotes' dissappearance the Neutrality has remained in dry dock at Omicron Theta by Muleo's request.

M26 class gunboat

The Espada (I)

Retired 817AS

The Espada was a gunboat designed to be a anti-fighter missile delivery platform. Although successful, it suffered from munition shortages and high operating costs. The ship was taken to Tripoli shipyard to be refitted with large-calibre weapons and used by rookie pilots to pirate in the lower Omegas. On one afternoon the Espada was lost in the Omega 5 minefield by some careless piloting by some Rats. Ever since Rats have been disallowed from gunboat command.

Armored Transport

Desperado

A captured Armored Transport which was converted into a makeshift prison. Any opponents of the OPG unlucky enough to be captured were imprisoned there. The Desperado has remained docked in Crete. Nobody knows what happened to the prisoners inside. Nobody cares.

Praefect mkI class cruiser

Guardia

Retired 818 AS

The Guardia was once Muleo's personal cruiser, but as his duties pulled him away from patrolling Omicron Gamma, it was converted for general OPG use. For the longest time it remained in Crete's orbit to support against Outcast capital incursions. It's unique double-rear-light-mortar delivery system was lovingly nicknamed the ass-cannon.

Once the blueprints for the Praefect mkII was completed and production began, the Guardia was recycled for parts and replaced by two of the first mkII models to leave the production line. They were christened the Espada and Escudo, the sword and shield.

Praefect mkII class cruiser

Escudo

One of the first mkII cruisers to roll out of the Tripoli assembly line, the Escudo was fitted to be a defensive cruiser. Equipped with numerous point defence weapons, it is capable of defending itself, or providing covering screens against light craft. Currently stationed at Skiros Station because of delays in point defence screen calibration.

Espada (II)

The Espada carries more heavy weaponry than needed or generally considered intelligent. This unique loadout however allows the ship to take on enemy vessels much larger than itself. Of course the drawback is that it is notoriously weak against bombers, for which the Escudo is needed for cover.
