The ERS Phoenix was a heavily customized V-class ship. Its Guardian starfighters had a special folding-wing design to fit four of them instead of the standard three. Its special systems were a ship interlock that permitted it to combined its warp shield with those of three escort class ships in its battleground, and a hyperspace propulsor that allowed it to travel farther and faster in hyperspace. It conducted a number of offensive actions deep in Praezorian territory during the Second Preazorian War.
ERS Phoenix ceased operations as a player ship in 2013.
