HMS Ceylon Pride

HMS Ceylon Pride is the fleet flagship under the command of Fleet Admiral Edrik Talis and is a specialised carrier variant of the Mark II-class Assault Frigate produced by Rendili StarDrive. The vessel served as the most recognisable command ship of the Orupian Royal Fleet, established in 9 ABY after a trade agreement between House Ceylon, the ruling Royal Family of Orupia, and Rendili StarDrive. The deal was brokered between Draksyth Lord Veeso, Princess Kileo Dimoh and RSD Representative Ahru. The vessel is seen as the pinnacle of prosperity brought to Orupia by House Ceylon and was seen in orbit over Pareen during the marriage of Princess Kileo to Rhyley Stargazer.
==Characteristics==
The Assault Frigate Mk. II was a further development of the Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser modification project, which produced the Mark I Assault Frigate. The modification procedures undergone on this particular frigate allowed for the development of a large hangar bay that could store around five shuttles or light transports along with two squadrons of star-fighters. It like many other Mk II's also utilised the large dorsal engine fins design, and could operate with less than a third of the Dreadnaught's crew requirements (4,820 nominal/ 1600 minimum) thanks to extensive automation systems and slave circuits.
This particular Assault Frigate Mark II incorporated a shield generator based on Mon Calamari designs, as well as Calamari shield subsystems that allowed an increase in shield power for short periods. 
When the HMS Ceylon Pride was first deployed, it came with two squadrons of LT-9000 Interceptors, as well as two Gamma-class Assault Shuttles, however the fighter compliments were replaced with the BN-1 Nub-Wing Interceptor and the TK-1 Starbird Fighter, and one shuttle was replaced with the Theta-class T-2c Shuttle, Shuttle Outmian.
It was named in honour of House Ceylon.

This Ship is used within a RESOLUTION Plots and is so part of the RSNverse of Star Wars lore.
