Syndicate Security Corvettes

Security Corvettes

Syndicate patrol warships in Earth orbit, outgunned by the behemoth they never thought to search.

Story so far

Security corvettes are the Syndicate's armed presence in orbit, and they do not bother carrying Enhancement Zone weapons — such guns are expensive, take up space, and cannot be fired outside the center system, so there is no reason to mount them.

That reasoning is precisely why the Homecoming Queen, which does carry a full complement on Porthus's orders and now shows them green across the board, is likely the strongest ship in orbit. York has kept the behemoth's armament secret, and no one has fired so much as a single missile at her.

Appearance

Syndicate patrol warships holding station in orbit, conventionally armed.

Role

The nominal orbital security force, unknowingly outmatched by the resistance flagship.

Relationships

Syndicate — Their operator
Homecoming Queen — The ship that now outguns them
Enhancement Zone — Weapons they consider not worth carrying
