Flagship
The Polaris is a nimble corvette-class capital ship that packs a powerful punch with a full armament of turrets and torpedoes. Intended for use as both a naval patrol ship and to serve as the flagship of militia operations. The Polaris has the capacity to perform search and rescue operations, light strike missions and general security patrols. The Polaris includes the facilities to repair, rearm and refuel a single fighter, light bomber or support ship.
The Pilgrim “Heavy” was acquired during the first Militia Mobilization Initiative aimed at arming the civilian population against the threat from the Vanduul. Needless to say I jumped at the opportunity to make the Polaris my flagship.
Our last update from RSI is that the Polaris was reviewed for current design rules including a resizing of it’s landing bay. It is unclear if this means the white box phase is complete. Currently promotion to grey box status is not on anyone’s calendar and we can only assume that it has joined Tony’s quantum waiting to be observed.
The Banu Merchantman did make the cut ahead of the Polaris although I would not expect a huge effort to get the Merchantman released prior to S42. There are however a dozen “unannounced ships” in the RSI ROADMAP!
