Background of ERS Sigrun[]
ERS Sigrun was a V-Class ship, the first in the class. It's first captain was Commander Logan Rafhan. ERS Sigrun was the first ship to integrate non-standard "Special Systems" into its makeup, although this would become standard practice on all V-Class ships.
ERS Sigrun was equipped with a special "tactical" hyperdrive system, as well as an Earth-built Particle Cannon modeled on captured Praezorian designs. Weapons researcher Tal Raios was commissioned as a Warrant Officer and assigned to ERS Sigrun to oversee the field test of the Particle Cannon.
ERS Sigrun was initially tasked with offensive duties during the Second Praezorian War. However, Commander Rafhan became increasingly suspicious of his orders, and began to suspect that something was wrong in the command structure. Command dismissed his concerns as a combination of paranoia and a generally rebellious nature - Rafhan had constant friction with Star Navy Command.
His fears were confirmed a short time later when a shuttle full of high-ranking Admirals and World Parliament executives was taken hostage in an attempted coup by Jaren Hyde, a rogue member of Star Navy Intelligence. The crew of the Sigrun managed to rescue the dignitaries and foil the immediate threat. However, Jaren Hyde and his organization, "Security Group One," escaped.
Following the attempted coup (known as the SG1 Incident), ERS Sigrun was commandeered by Star Navy Intelligence and tasked with hunting down SG1.
The crew of ERS Sigrun eventually dismantled SG1 and captured Jaren Hyde. Although their tactics were unorthodox (they posed very convincingly as a pirate ship, going so far as to actually commit an act of piracy against a Maxicorp weapons carrier), Star Navy Command declined to charge them. Instead, they were re-assigned a month later. Logan Rafhan was promoted to become Executive Officer of ERS Manticore. Most of the other crew were *REDACTED*, although Tal Raios resigned from Star Navy immediately afterwards to join the Munich Science Directorate.
