Specifications[edit]
After recapturing Osk from the Paladins, former Stormtrooper Officer Jegora Fal accepted a position as Captain of the Charelotte, on the condition that he be allowed to run the ship his way. Since then, numerous improvements in both crew discipline and ship condition have been noticed. It has also been noted that the Charelotte has received numerous high-end upgrades to her equipment, and it can only be speculated that this equipment has been paid for with the personal funds of her new captain, as it is doubted that the Osk company could or would afford such expensive upgrades.
The Charelotte serves as the focal point of the Osk Company Fleet, functioning as a command center for fleet operations. The bridge of the ship has been extensively remodeled to accomodate the vast amounts of information it recieves during an engagement, and the ship's communication and sensor arrays have been massively upgraded. The ship also carries several electronic warfare suites that have been repurposed by the Company specifically for pirating operations. Jamming units throughout the ship ensure that enemy ships of any size have difficulty targeting and tracking the Charolette, allowing the frigate to close on her prey with relative ease. The ship also serves as the Company's primary retrieval ship, using her electronic warfare suits to disrupt enemy ships without causing physical damage, and then drawing those ships into her hangar bays or sending out boarding teams to retrieve the cargo.
With a new Captain, new equipment, and a smattering of discipline, the Charelotte is readier than ever for anything that might be thrown at it. Possessing the potential to outperform ships many time her size, this Bothan Assault Frigate stands to play a pivotal role in future events for the Osk Company.
Upgrades include:
- Modified SEAL-system shield generator
- Quadranium armor Plating
- Tractor beams
- System jammers
- Passive and active electronic warfare suites
- Advanced sensor and communication suites
- Increased hangar space (at cost of cargo space)
- Enhanced weapon emplacements
History[edit]
While the exact history of the ship is unknown, it is assumed that it was built, discovered, purchased, or outright stolen by the Osk Company boss Sniping101. It is also assumed that the battered Bothan Assault Frigate is in much better condition now than it was when it first came into the possession of the Company, but that may or may not be the case.
From wherever and however the ship came into Osk Company hands, it is ensured that a new future awaits it. Serving as perhaps the most impressive part of the Company fleet (at least on scanners and from extremely long distances) the Charolette is sure to make an impression in years to come.
Notes[edit]
Nobody in The Osk Company actually knows how to spell the name of the ship, and as such it appears with a variety of spellings, culminating in the fact that it's spelled Charelotte on one side of the bow and Charolette on the other. Those are only two of the many spellings, however most people are content to call it "Piece of Shit" or "Space Turd".
