Vahtary VI
Following the Olympian crisis and the destruction of Neo Troja, the people of the galaxy lived in fear of the Olympian warship Erinye. The enormous destructive power of the Erinye was considered a serious threat to the intergalactic peace and many feared that, now the Olympians knew there was no match for them, a war of conquest was about to start. Thus the people of the galaxy formed an alliance with the sole purpose of finding a way to match the overwhelming power of the Olympian warship. Bringing together the galaxy’s most brilliant engineers and military experts, the Vahtary program was founded. Over time six Vahtary warships, serving as guardians of peace, were constructed, each equipped with enough weapons to take on a whole fleet alone.
Developed to counter the Erinye in battle, these ships were smaller and much more maneuverable than other military vessels. An adjustable engine allowed these ships to quickly excelerate and change altitude in battle, without having to reduce the power of the engine itself.
Showing only a few weapons on the outside, the most dangerous means of these beasts were hidden from sight, until used in battle. The Vahtary ships even copied some of the Erinye’s weaponry to play it at its own game. Constructed to act as a swarm in battle, these six ships were stationed all over the galaxy, but constantly connected by the most advanced commlink tech. If they would ever be needed, they could come together at one place within just a few minutes.
The pride of the Vahtary program was the Vahtary VI, the last and most advanced ship built.
The captain, Lady Cassandra, a surviving Neo Trojan, decided to paint her ship blood red, in memory of her fallen brothers and sisters and as a warning to the Olympians, should they ever consider to attack innocent people again.

I almost can’t believe it myself, but I actually finished my SHIP in time this year. It may not be just as big as the Erinye, but it has even more play features. And this time, I didn’t even have to borough any bricks from Mr. Grievous.
For those who wonder, the name is derived from the old german word „wahtari“, which means guardian.
