| − | The [[Fast Attack Corvette]] NCS ''August Burns Red'' was A New Commonwealth Scout ship with a mixed crew of 145 mostly from Swan Vesta colony. Captained by Commander Tracy Hepburn of [[Swan Vesta]] colony. Swan Vesta is a divided world, with deep lines of cultural and social divisions between the two nations that occupy each of the planets two continents. Scout ships from Swan Vesta operate in pairs, one crewed by inhabitants from Swan continent and the other from Vesta continent. ''August Burns Red''’s Vestan counterpart (‘''Silhouette Of Wings''’) was destroyed at Charlemagne, but about two dozen of its crew, including its first officer and chief engineer, were rescued by RTL. Coincidentally, ABR’s first officer and chief engineer died in the attack. Hepburn replaced her fallen officers with their counterparts. ''August Burns Red'' was destroyed in the Battle of Terrastar while drawing fire from Aurelian forces to protect the Defender Ship ''Helaman''. |
