UECNS Shaushka

Noble-class escort carrier with disc-shaped primary hull. Violet Nine’s ship-self was based on the Confederate Navy’s Alita-class escort carriers, though her fighter complement had been replaced by additional missile tubes and several external cradles. She was sleek, her hull form was that of a sword piercing a discus, the wide hilt holding her main engines, her prow studded with sensor spires and torpedo mountings, her swollen midsection pregnant with missiles and hunter-killers.

Violet Nine was a xenocidal psychopath and rampant from birth to death, with the delusion that the territory she was defending was that of the original Confederacy, despite the fact she existed several thousand years after the Confederacy and its people were rendered all but extinct by the Compact. Nine was something of a stickler for the rules and a tattletale. The carrier's primary strike force was her Aeshma - heavy gunships, little more than weapons, sensors and engines.
