The mainstay battleship for most of the Vehendrix War, these ships have survived much. Their names recycled as replacements were required and their crews proud of all they achieved together. This variant is a modified version carried out by the Kos megacorp NME using their proprietory tech during the detached duty of the 5th fleet and in accordance with the contract to allow modifications to the ships be made. Retrofit in progress at the NME and ZI slips at the Hub, Kos, under the battleship contract (07-3201 to 18-3202). Repairs and retrofits were expected to take 20 fortnights from 13/10/3201, finishing about 13/4/3202; the Achilles was kept operable throughout, while the Aeneas stayed unusable until the end. Still under way when the server ended.

The Achilles is a Troy-class battleship of the Atlesian 5th Fleet, one of the mainstays of the Vehendrix War. It drilled out of the last battle over Atlas with the Aeneas on a trajectory tight-beamed by Naval Command, the two ships joined by a latticework built to haul the damaged Aeneas, and they were stranded together until the Eisenzahn found them. The Achilles was in the better condition, with only weak weapons power, and its crew under Commander Longbow went through decontamination on joining the 12th Fleet. ‹eisenzahn#1020789690586116126› ‹eisenzahn#1023387232666664980›
The battleship contract
The Fleet could not afford to keep both battleships running. The first budget left the Achilles with a skeleton crew, and in fortnight 3 of 3201 both ships went to Kos under Flag Captain Longbow, a minotaur-like alien, with the Achilles crewed by new conscripts. There the delegation negotiated a contract hiring them out to Newson-Matsuri Energy and Zephyr Industries for three maintenance cycles, from 07-3201 to 18-3202 by the Fleet's dates. ‹notices#1030626360160440353› ‹from_under_the_heel#1042546645092544532› ‹from_under_the_heel#1049205258297016340›
Repairs and the NME retrofit were expected to take twenty fortnights on the NME and ZI slips at the Hub, with the Achilles kept operable throughout so it could still be used in an emergency. It was still under way when Calypso fell, and the 5th Fleet stayed on in Kos as a mercenary fleet on a near-permanent contract. ‹gm_chat#1061324850859356211› ‹updates#1092211762465620039›
