Triton



History

The Triton is a Sol Fleet Zhàn Class Close Combat Carrier designed for long range deep space missions. Lucius Wheeler, when part of Freeground Intelligence, took an old freighter into Sol Space as a derelict with the intent to steal a ship; The Sol System Defense Fleet intercepted it with the Carrier and Wheeler stormed the ship losing 50% of his crew in the process whilst also destroying a Sol Perimeter station with a nuclear device to cover his escape.

Wheeler was able to run the Close Combat Carrier with a skeleton crew of approximately 200 men though with degraded capabilities via the use of automated systems and with large areas sealed off and shut down; the normal compliment of a Close Combat Carrier is meant to be between two and three thousand personnel.

(plot line not ship capabilities) Later Wheeler tries to capture Jacob Valence and his crew; however they turn the tide and take the Triton from him. Jacob only has about 50 men under his control but manages to start the engines running. When they get to the Enreega System they discover the debris a large attack by the Eden Fleet, they then take on all the survivors they can. Those who wish to stay with Jacob on the Triton become the new crew.

However after being severely damaged the Triton sends out about half of their crew and the remaining crew stays on board to defend the Triton. With about 1500 men left the Triton goes under siege, however the crew turned the tide and escaped... with one of the enemy’s command ships and the Triton. When they meet up with the remaining crew on Tamber the Triton is taken from them because they do not officially own the Triton, it is technically a stolen ship.
