Sunspire

A ship that was going to be decomissioned untill the Freeground Intelligence decided to put then Lt Commander Jonas Valent in command. The original Sunspire was a 150+ year old Command Carrier that was being refitted as a Striker Class Destroyer. One major distinguishing mark was that her hull was composed of rare Ergranian Steel, a dense regenerative metal ideal for ship armour.

The Sunspire was originally equipped with eight rail cannon turrets firing any of six different kinds of ammunition, one heavy beam emplacement, two multi-purpose torpedo launchers, and one fighter bay that could launch seven fighters from small chambers located lengthwise along the underside of the hull. All the weapons could be secured and hidden away while not in combat.

After Jonas took command it was renamed by Ayan Rice to First Light as the ship was going undercover with Fleetground Special Operations Group. The mission was to gather intelligence and beg, steal or borrow new technologies.

At the end of the Origin books it goes back under Freeground military control, with a new arsenal of weapons and technology. Commander Oz becomes its new commander since Jonas was taken by Vindyne. It remained under his command untill he took a ship to find out who Jacob Valence was..

Sussequently the ship's internal AI was infected by the Holocaust Virus and control was lost;  the ship began terrorizing Freegrounds military.
