Severin

Coalition warship Severin · EMC attack-group ship

Severin takes Laconian rail impacts during the first counterattack, becoming one of several coalition ships struck before the Tempest destroys Independence.

Story so far

Severin is part of the dispersed Earth-Mars and union attack group that launches missiles and rail rounds at the Heart of the Tempest. The formation and range are designed to limit the flagship's magnetic field weapon while forcing it to reveal conventional defenses.

When the Tempest shifts from defensive fire to a multi-rail-gun counterattack, impacts are observed on Severin. Immediate system confirmation and final damage remain unavailable through the delayed feeds. Its strike, alongside those on Ontario, Talwar, and Odachi, establishes that Laconian rounds arrive ahead of coalition prediction and can damage a third of the force in one exchange.

Appearance

A conventional coalition warship spread widely from its companions at extreme engagement range; its class and physical details are not described.

Role

Severin is one of the first conventional ships hit by the Tempest's unexpectedly fast and precisely predicted rail fire.
