[SIZE=11pt]DESCRIPTION[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]The Red Mandate is a unique cruiser constructed at the forgotten research base called Imperator One. Its commander, the nameless Legate, swears allegiance to the warlord Basileus, who commands a splinter group of former First Order and Imperial forces. Clad in impervium, the Red Mandate is tough enough to survive engagements with much larger ships. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Its primary focus, however, isn’t combat but signals intelligence. A huge Ranger transceiver allows for long-range eavesdropping and communications interference; a dedicated crypto team supports the Ranger’s powerful decryption capabilities. The transceiver’s forty-metre dish is the ship’s main point of weakness: significant damage will cripple the Red Mandate’s long-distance communications, not just its cryptographic and infowar missions. And with only two squadrons of ageing starfighters for immediate support, the Red Mandate could easily die alone. This is a risk that the Legate takes in stride, trusting in good judgment to keep herself and her ship out of irrevocable situations.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Lord Basileus contracted the Sith blacksmith Azel Moran to build a Qabbrat, a classic Sith meditation chamber, in the heart of the ship. The chamber amplifies the Legate’s secretive powers, whatever they may be, and allows her a direct line to Basileus, either by hypercomm or via the Force.[/SIZE]
