VFR Kvâ, Vskenai-Class Support Ship

 

Belonging to the Vskenai class of vessels designed during the Thôvis Dynasty, the Kvâ was completed in time to see service with the Imperial fleets in Emperor Zefîrôs's attempts to stabilize the Sarthîon front.

 

Initially outfitted as an assault barge, the Kvâ would warp in close behind Coalition battleships and release dropships into orbit. But, as the conflict began to worsen and the Imperial advance stalled, the Kvâ was taken out of service and sent to Hethorîon for refit. Re-designated as a medical support ship the Kvâ once again departed for the lost realm.

 

Returning just in time for the disastrous Sarthîon counterattack, the Kvâ and her crew found the fleets in disarray. Chaos reigned as the Coalition broke and folded in vain attempts to maintain a grasp on their conquered worlds. For three months the Kvâ jumped between various battle groups as she attempted to staunch the flow of wounded. When the Kvâ and her escorts were ambushed by Sarthîon strike vessels while refueling away from the battle group, her captain was forced to make a blind jump.

 

Possibly the only fortune of that time, the Kvâ managed to exit into Imperial space where she made her way to friendly forces. Shortly after, the general retreat was sounded and the Kvâ set course for Thyr. There, she was hastily reconfigured as a gunboat before taking part in the final battle over Mysena.

 

-----------------------------------

 

In her configuration as a medical support ship the Kvâ is equipped with bays for over four thousand patients and is fully outfitted for advanced surgical care. In the event that patients are encountered that are beyond the capacity of the Kvâ to treat, they can be placed within stasis and delivered to a planet side facility.

 

The Kvâ also has a compliment of Six medical transport shuttles for the transit of patients requiring careful monitoring or care while being moved. In addition, there are also eighteen ship to ship docking tubes in the event that patient transfer demands direct contact between vessels.

 

The only armament possessed by the Kvâ are a pair of ship to ship cannons housed to either side of the aft section.
