Roland rolled over, letting his sister take a turn on the viewpiece. Staring up at the
night sky, he fancied he could see tiny moving lights, the same lights he'd just been
watching close-up through their new telescope. He heard Simone draw her breath
slightly, and grinned, understanding the awe that the sight caused.
!hat's enough, kid. "ive it back# He grabbed the viewpiece back from his littlesister. $n the tiny screen he could see the orbital shipyards around the %hobos
industrial facility, and the mighty battleship being constructed there. Hundreds of tiny
shuttles and men and women in environmental suits flitted around the vessel as it
drifted there, held insider a great skeletal cage which provided power and
infrastructure for the workers.
!he &calibur was the first of its kind. ( new, class )$$$ battleship, she boasted
forward and aft pulse cannons and the newest torpedo technology. !wo shield
generators provided enough power to repel almost any Spartan attack, and herenormous antimatter engines were capable of *!+- - over ,// times light speed.
0n top of all that, she ran the newest eperimental &1S-2 control computer system
from 3ooke 3onstruction Systems, which were said to improve battle response times
by over 24, and the latest &SH-5 sensor arrays, finely tuned to improve targeting
accuracy.
6'you think we'll ever get to see it7 Simone asked.
$ will# Roland passed back the viewpiece. 0ne day $'ll be captain of that ship.
8ou'll see#
Simone giggled. Her older brother was a dreamer. He talked ceaselessly about joining
the 9avy, graduating the (cademy, and being stationed on a great starship. She hoped
it happened for him one day.
Roland# !heir uncle's call from the habitat sounded urgent. !hey were in the
arboretum, looking up through the dome into 1ars' reddish night sky. Roland
clambered to his feet as his uncle appeared in the doorway, a transmission slip in his
hand.
Roland - it's here#
Simone jumped# Roland had taken off like a rocket, racing towards his uncle. He
snatched the slip and stared at it, almost fearfully, afraid to open it. !he outer seal
featured a single sentence in clear military font.
Naval Academy Application Acceptance.

RA$I&E CLASS ,III FRIGATE
!he sBuat, solid Rapide class frigate was an eperimental design which saw some success on the front lines.6esigned as a missile boat, it was heavily armored with the latest ablative armor; the heavy armor, however, meant
that shield generators had to be sacrificed. *our forward cluster high-impact torpedo launchers can deliver adevaastating alpha-strike, making the Rapide a fearsome mobile artillery emplacement, although its slow speed and
maneuverability mean that it needs to be supported well.
