Elessar2590's Darkstar Campaign
HMS Burnaby
Captained by the Honourable Commander Herbert Baker
The HMS Burnaby was the first Royal Navy Ship in the sector and has been on station since the pre-colonial times.
The HMS Burnaby is outfitted with two enormous generators that give the ship a near endless supply of power to run it’s communications arrays and scanners.
The Bridge has two retractable observation decks that allow the ship’s crew to keep a watch in every direction while orbiting a planet or escorting a supply ship.
The HMS Burnaby continues in it’s observation role and mainly operates on the fringes of the system but with the sighting of the approaching American Fleet it has been recalled to the main squadron.
The HMS Burnaby is named after the Legendary Colonel Frederick Gustavus Burnaby, a British Officer in the Victorian Era Burnaby was THE Victorian adventurer. He flew hot air balloons, he traveled all over Russia, Persia and Afghanistan including while the British and Russian’s were at war, he accompanied Gordon to Khartoum (the first time) and managed to just sort of tag along with the Camel Corps as they attempted to relieve Gordon in Khartoum.
He was killed at the Battle of Abu Klea and is death ended the era of the romantic Victorian hero gallivanting around the world totally bulletproof. An apt name for such a maverick ship.
