The Vendetta

After the disaster on the New Republic world of Teraii and the death of
billions of local New Republic citizens, tensions between the local factions
of the Palvar Sector have tensed up, causing a military build up toward an
all out war.

Having seen this coming for some time now, Palvar Defense Force commander
Aarlis Nacirem had already ordered construction of a new flagship that will
serve to protect the sovereignty of the Palvar Sector and give the PDF the
upper hand during any armed conflict between Imperial and/or New Republic
forces.

The Vendetta was designed through the combined efforts of both the Palvar
Defense Force and a local corporation by the name of Setec Astronomy. The
ship roughly resembles a largely flattened elliptical sphere with a large
bridge superstructure protruding from miships as well as six massive Setec
LS-9 ion drive engines arranged in a triangular fashion along with another
five smaller LS-7 ion drive engines on either side of the main drive units.
