Battlecruiser Wyoming

CLASS: Interdictor

CREW: -- BLOCKED --

ARMAMENT: -- BLOCKED --

One of the first models of Liberty's Assault Battlecruiser, the Wyoming acted as the eyes and ears of the Liberty Security Force in the Hamburg system for several years.

Its mission involved constant surveillance of Rheinland's efforts during the conflict with Liberty, and, while successful at the former, the presence of an infiltrator onboard the ship would see its position betrayed in a bid to provide the Military with the upperhand needed to capture the vessel and recover crucial data of friendly, and enemy fleet movements.

While the infiltrator was indeed successful in coordinating a boarding action with an element of the Rheinland Military, this element in particular would prove to be the Trier, a Rheinland warship that had been declared missing in action years prior.

In the time since the Wyoming was captured, the vessel has seen limited retrofitting, and due to the Wild's extreme isolation and numerous potential opponents, it was decided to relocate the Wyoming to the Kepler system, where radiation allowed it to stay well clear of any patrols. This role was short lived however, as the dark matter storm soon made operations in the system impossible. Faced with catastrophic radiation on the outskirts of Kepler, the ship fled with full power to the engines, and was discovered by "associates" of the Order in the process. While presently safe in the neighboring Galileo system, the Wyoming finds itself relentessly pursued by patrols from the Atum. Direct confrontation between the two is certain, but the Wyoming has resolved to wait for more favorable circumstances.

## News

For some time, it had been alleged that Insurgent and Xeno-backed cells had been stirring trouble on Erie, inciting violence in the population and seeking to turn the planet into a second Veracruz. Never, however, had such open acts of terror been visited upon the governing Libertonian forces.
The response was quick and decisive. In coordination with the LSF, Vice Admiral Hamish aboard the Battleship Alma lead a Liberty Navy task force directly into the system in Operation Pesticide, escorted primarily by Siege Cruisers, Gunboats and fightercraft, with many of the Navy's capital warships tied in the Vespucci campaign or ever watchful at Liberty's borders. They were met by Zoner Q-ships based from Bethlehem, with many coming from as far as Galileo or even the Sigmas, accompanied by a motley assortment of freelancers and other anarchist elements. Leading the Zoner line was a Aquilon-class carrier, the Pinnacle.
While the Pinnacle came under heavy bombardment from the Alma and her task force, supplies quickly gathered onto Zoner transports from Erie attempted to run the Navy blockade. While some transports were lost to Navy bombers, others yet escaped to parts as of yet unknown. This 'victory', however, came at a heavy price. The Pinnacle was lost with most of her hands still on board and the rest captured, while the Liberty Marines landed virtually unopposed, quickly securing population centers for both the safety of Libertonian assets and the civilians on Erie itself. The Alma is settled now into the low orbit of Erie, a constant reminder to those below that they are under the protection of the Liberty Navy. A comfort to some, a dire warning to many more.
