Attack Vector: Tactical – Shipbook 2

Following the destruction of the Saladin by the Warspite, the scattered remnants of humanity are embroiled in war. While focusing on the offensive set by the Medinan Star Force, the Olympian Defense Force Space Arm has the Xing Cheng Celestial Navy moving into its flanks. Xing Cheng asked the government of the Federal Republic of Altiplano to become a formal ally. Altiplano, situated closer to the Olympian operational areas, and currently at peace with them, put a different offer on the table. Armed neutrality. Altiplano’s Guardia Espacia de Altiplano is a professional service in transition. Having inherited a mishmash of orphaned warships from the Loss, now all at the tail ends of their service lives, the Guardia Espacial had planned on transitioning to home-built hulls, like the Ricardo Robinson and Independencia classes. With a conflagration of fusion torch warships spreading through the Ten Worlds, the need to protect shipping from opportunist captains and “pirates” is growing. Altiplano has taken up the challenge, reflagging freighters to put them under their own escorts. Threading the needle of neutrality in a multi-polar interstellar war is far from easy. It’s the only course Altiplano has. 21 ships, 14 scenarios, and new fiction for the Ten Worlds! —description from the publisher
