27.X Interlude: From a Vestygian's Perspective

The Vestygian War Rig Coal has been in the Republic's service for over two decades. One of the fastest of its kind, it is one of the best Rigs that are currently under the employ of the Republic's Navy in their efforts to completely take over the Shallow Deep.

"Where are these Imperials going?"

"Are they giving up?"

Even as his subordinates looked on at the situation before them feeling overconfident and smug about their assured victory, Somatic Red Shepard knew better than to let their superior position blind him from an obvious maneuver. It was clear that the Imperial Rig was the first of its kind, and its mysterious callsign only meant that it was possibly a new weapon meant to turn the tides of the battle for the Shallow Deep.
