The Baron Fleet
A brief overview
A brief overview
Unlike most nations, the Baron Fleet is equipped for not only space warfare, but, as rare as it tends to be, planetary combat as well. While there has been no record of 'war' that the Barons have been apart of, its hard not to find someone who knows the risks of angering the Baron Fleet. It's common knowledge that they are almost always gunning after any Pirate entity they come across.
Also unlike most nations, they hail from no home planet. Nomadic in nature, a massive colony ship makes the bulk of the Baron population. While the ferocity of their soldiers is well-documented against the Pirates, they defend these ships with a degree of zeal some may find concerning. There have been two attempts to attack the Spirit. Both have ended in complete and total failure to the attacking parties.

Ghast serve as the primary tool of attack to the Barons. Humanoid mechs carrying a varying assortment of weaponry depending on whatever situation is presented to them. Have been known to attack on both the front lines, or to infiltrate pirate-controlled colonies effectively. Lack the overall speed of fighter-class ships, but make up for it in other aspects. Not cleared for Hyperdrive on their own.
Ghast come in various shapes and sizes, depending on the pilot's tastes and the scenario they find themselves in. In certain situations, Ghast have been outfitted to outrun even the more advanced fighter ships with ease. Doing so requires the pilot to be prepared to take the full brunt of such force with minimal shielding or safety provided by actual fighter ships. Due to this fact, very few of these Ghast are still in operation.
On the opposite side of the specrtum, Ghast have been refitted to withstand unforgiving attacks and continue operation without issue, sacrificing mobility in order to do so. These see operation commonly when Planet or Colony combat is guaranteed.
