XMC-01-284 Celestial Valor
Glorious Heritage Class Heavy Cruiser


Platform Overview:
The Glorious Heritage class Heavy Cruiser is the bright star of the Omega Militant Space Forces fleet. As the most visible symbol of the reach and power of the Omega Militant Forces, command of these vessels is reserved for the best and the brightest. Capable of high-endurance, independent operations, the Heavy Cruiser nonetheless operates most often as the central component of a battle group. They are ideally suited for interplanetary combat, although they can play a significant role in planetary strike operations and logistics support for a battle group as a whole.

In addition, XMCs are often called upon to perform disaster relief and refugee support operations due to their spacious interiors and ability to ferry large quantities of emergency supplies and additional personnel. During peacetime, XMCs are most often tasked with independent intergalactic exploration, charting and documenting the star systems. They are also the preferred platform for first contact missions, given their formidable combat capabilities and their ability to operate without a battle group. However, the Celestial Valor often works alone.

Vehicle Type:
Heavy Artillery Plantary Assult Drone

Mobility:
Rolling Speed 85 kph
Running Speed 61 kph

Gross Dimensions:
Height 33.7 meters
Depth 29.6 meters
Breadth 25.5 meters
Weight 322.0 metric tons empty

um...thats the Andromeda...yes

After traveling for hours Daisuke's F-204 finally arrived at the coordinates given to him but he didn't see anything. "There's nothing here but a planet." As he said that a beam shot from the planet and pulled his fighter in automatically activating the landing procedures. "What the....?" Once he was on the hangar of a strange ship he realized the planet was he destination especially when it turned out be a hollow and containing the Celestial Valor. "Wow." He walked through the ship's massive hangar and finally walked out of the hangar and used diagrams of the ships to find his way to the Command Deck. When he got there it was empty and he saw one chair he walked over to it and noticed it also had the ships helm controls. "Nice.....looks like I'll be this Ship's captain and main helmsmen." He sat down in the chair and grabbed the controls. "I wonder what this ship can do."

Ill join another time. (my friend is a graphics engineer. I got a cool drop ship pic with specs. Ill send to you: )

The Celestial Valor continued to fly through the Milky Way at 30 percent speed of light (PSL) when suddenly Daisuke turned the helm controls to the right until it made a complete 180 degree turn, then did made another 180 degree turn and he stopped the ship. "The Celestial Valor flies like its a giant fighter. I have to say the engineers did a great job on this." He continued to sit in at the helm which was in the exact middle of the Command Deck and he looked at the main screen.

The Valor's AI holographic self stood there like it was standing at attention. "Yes, Captain, I or shall I say my ship self flies like it is a giant fighter because that is the way I was designed. I am sure you have noticed the rather streamline design of this ship. That is the key however this ship is still a Heavy Cruiser and has the fire power to prove it. If statistics are correct aside from the Atlas class and the Hyperion class of starships I am are the largest ship in the OMF Space Forces fleet. In other words I am are the third largest ship in use by our Space Forces."

Valor stood silently for hours until all the status reports were in. "Sir, the reports are in and the ship is now capable of operating at full combat status including Planetary Strike Warfare and Planet-Fall Warfare. All weapons systems are online along with all of the ships drone units. We now also have our regiment of ground troopers which is around 1000. The 5 Centaurs, 10 Minotaurs, and 100 C.H.A.S. units are also fully operational.

"Thats good to hear, Valor. Now we can carry out our primary mission for now, exploration and first contacts, without fear of being caught shorthanded." He put his arounds around the helms joysticks and pushed them forward and the ship began to move once more, flying at 30 PSL, heading further into the Milky Way Galaxy. "Well its good to be home again."

"Technically you are not home. You are merely in the galaxy that you orginate from. However I do understand what you mean Captain. At our current speed we are only a few hours away from your home planet.

"Ah right, thanks Valor. Then lets go." He increased the speed to 50 PSL and held the controls to make sure the ship would remain straight. Finally they arrived at Jupiter. "I think we should enter orbit here for now. That way any orginazations from Earth won't be able to pick up us." Daisuke then switched the main screen over to the reports and began to read through them.

Valor stood there silently then suddenly he picked something up over the OMF standard subspace communication channel. He looked over at Captain Miyamoto and saw that he was asleep. "Captain Miyamoto, please wake up. Priority information incoming."

Daisuke's head shot up and he looked around. "What....what? I'm here okay lets' go." He calmed down then looked at Valor with a dull look in his eyes. "Valor what is it? It better not be another crisis about the ship being one meter off course again."

"No, sir, it is nothing like that. I am patching the information through my ship self." Suddenly the main viewing screen displayed a version of Valor. "I am picking up a signal from something called Centurion Command Base and is apparently the newly established OMF command base. Apparently it is what used to be called Omega Island in the days of the original OBO but the Supreme Commander has changed the name. That is all the information I have to offer." The android stood there for a moment then turned from the viewing screen to Captain Miyamoto. "Sir, the suggested course of action is to set course for it and go down and investigate."

"Alright, alright. Valor set the course. I'm going to rest in my quarters in the mean time, after all I'm pretty sure you can handle yourself." Daisuke then got up and walked off to his quarters.

Valor nodded then used his command and control link to the himself or more so the ship to set the course and follow it.

*The subspace message arrived and was processed through the XMC-01-284 communicatoin equimpment and underwent the proper protocols before it was displayed on the main monitor at the front of the bridge.*



*The message was short and once it ended the main monitor went back to displaying what it displayed before.*
