 | This vessel was lost in action defending the Blazing Umbra Station in the Schatten Star System. |
Vertigo is an experimental vessel, the first of the new Solas Tempus Ranger Class. She is designed to be operated by operatives going into dangerously uncertain situations throughout the timeline. So far the Vertigo is the only ship of her kind. Commissioned from the Ronin Shipyards in 2377. The ship is equipped with the very latest in technology to travel through time, research an as yet unknown threat, and combat that threat.
Her computer core allows her to operate autonomously from human interaction and the HAL 9000 system allows that the vessel can potentially effect the completion of a mission without assigned additional resources, even if the crew is incapacitated.
Auxiliary Craft
The ship has two launch bays at the rear. Each one has a an auxiliary craft in it.
- Condor a Pyro-GX Fighter
- Echo a Type 9 Shuttle Craft
