Service History

• Prior to the captain's retreat, and during Beringwaite's tenure as First Commander, the Cometfencer did pirate hunting in the Outskirts, (the sectors adjacent to and including Thaka Epta)); no battles but they ran down merchants carrying contraband, including five slavers. This has given them significant experience in working up 'moths'. They had a recent specialist turnover at the Core, prior to the captain's retreat.

• During the captain's retreat, the Cometfencer saw battle in a dark pirate base, alongside the Stardancer, during which they were so significantly damaged they required a tow back to the nearest beachhead, which could only repair them enough to bootstrap them to a starbase's proper drydock. However, between them, the two ships took out three pirate vessels and a pirate merchant, plus a pirate base. This battle caused fatalities and casualties on the Cometfencer.
• Hosted three organizations on a goodwill mission on Fleet's behalf: OFRUFF, the Lamb and Dove League, and Peace Bonds, involving a trip to a stellar nursery in Sector Delta.

Trivia

• They brew their own beer, Axeman ale: "brown ale, malty with a nice caramel finish."

Crew

Mixed species/mixed-sex crew.

Has developed an assault team with experience in boarding maneuvers, thanks to Tierney. She's "turned the Cometfencer's security division into something the Marines would recognize, but that's a specialization that leaves them less suited to all the odds and ends their job descriptions require of them."

Includes:

• Captain, Darian Bakawar (a Seersa male, creamy yellow-colored with dark orange eyes)
• Second Commander is Riley Lennon, a Hinichi female who is "far less devious" than Alastar Virgil.
• C-med is a Harat-Shar tiger, Kostya. Doesn't go by his train name (which he will readily admit is 'Teriblé' because someone nicknmamed his great-great-great-grandfather and his wives and children the terrible family, and it stuck.
• Ji Woo Costello, a "reformed criminal": short human woman with light brown skin, dark hair shaved up one side and bobbed down the other, and monolidded eyes that "looked bored but didn't disguise the alert tension in her body." One of the Old and Proud.
• Erin Tierney, a female human ex-Marine officer, who beat everyone into shape by her standards.
• a Tam-illee who greeted Taylitha on her visit and guided her to the officer's club
• a "cook" (male) who likes to browse the u-banks and newstreams for exotic dishes and add them to the genie
• Lexi Beck, female, human, a healer-assist.
• Amos Schultz, male, human, one of Tierney's security personnel.
• Hank Van Aalst, a Hinichi male in Engineering
• Fang the Flitzbe, Erin's best friend.
