The Agamemnon
July 4th, 2008 by Bahama
You’re looking at the newest ship in the Beowulf Squadron fleet, the Agamemnon.
And here is the proud owner and our newest Admiral…
Yes, through long hours of perfecting his skill and with the support of the whole squadron, Jaegen Fenris has earned his promotion to Admiral and acquired a brand new gunship. He’s been busy getting her ready for service. From the impressive bridge…
To the well appointed crew’s quarters…..
the functional droid bay,
and the opulent Admiral’s Quarters…
….the ship is simply gorgeous. But I know Admiral Fenris. He won’t be satisfied until he can point her at the stars, start the engines and take her out into battle.
Many times over the past few months I have thought about giving up on my goals of one day becoming admiral, one day having earned the command of a heavy war cruiser and even as I look out over the planets below me from the bridge of the Agamemnon I feel unsettled. Where I should be feeling a great sense of acomplishment and pride I feel a stir of futility and the unmistakable pangs of sadness. From this point on I am faced with my own limits. I cannot achieve a greater vicory, I cannot win a grander ship. No place in the galaxy is too dangerous for me to fly anymore. But my people look up to me for guidance. They seek my advice for tactical advantages and structural weakness in their fighters. I accept this as my place in the universe, to share what I have learned so that the next to try does not have to try as hard. I thikk of the old sailors from across the universe a milennia ago who were at the mercy of the winds and waters to seek another shore alive and prosper on a new horizon. No longer do I move with the wind. No longer does fate take me on it’s whim to a distant shore but I do not lament for those days. I am resolute to give my squadron every advantage they can get to one day fill the sky with Beowulf Ships, to dominate the winds of war with an armada to rival the imperial navy. Perhaps I dream of yet another destination beyond sight but this time I cannot go alone into the night and find it, I’ll have the loyal support and skill of the finest fleet in the galaxy. One it has been my honor to call Beowulf Squadron
