The RSD V7 Crimson Shrike, tail number 88 Beta, represents a formidable instrument of the Red Sun Dominion's power. Built at an unknown date within the orbital foundries above the Don System, it was designed as the primary space superiority interceptor for Supreme Chancellor Elara Voss. This vessel, like its many brethren, ensures the Dominion's ruthless will is enforced across Sector 36.
Its construction utilizes raw osmium, cruelly mined by the enslaved populations of the Meristine Work Camps. The hull's robust post-tech composites were recovered from the aftermath of the Silence, showcasing resourcefulness in its design. Powering the Shrike is a modernized iteration of the pre-Sundering Vector class engine, finely optimized for the Dominion's aggressive Agile Strike doctrine.
These interceptors are specifically tasked with two critical missions: hunting down elusive Mortal Veil pirates and maintaining the strict blockade around the Don System. Tail number 88 Beta has distinguished itself through extensive service, particularly in the relentless pursuit of dangerous Maltech smugglers. It embodies the Dominion's efficiency and unwavering commitment to control.
Currently, the RSD V7 Crimson Shrike (88 Beta) remains fully operational and active near the Meristine Work Camps systems. Its fuel reserves stand at 60%, ready for its next assignment. The interceptor continues its patrol, a silent testament to the Red Sun Dominion's enduring might.
