The '''Ke'gyce Keldab''' is a [[Veltraa-Class Cruiser|Veltraa-class cruiser]] that serves as the flagship of [[Tomas o`Cuinn|Tomas o`Cuinn's]] naval fleet. It is currently assigned to one of the defensive naval fleets of the [[Gree (System)|Gree]] [[system]], augmenting the [[Gree Trade Authority|Gree Trade Authority's]] [[system]] defenses.

==Background==
A family relic for longer than [[Tomas o`Cuinn|Cuinn]] has drawn breath, the cruiser was given to him by his parents upon graduating from the [[Charubah|University of Charubah]]. The length of time that this cruiser has been in his family's possession is not public knowledge.


The [[Veltraa-Class Cruiser|Veltraa-class]] is based upon designs of an ancient [[Sith]] variation of the [[Interdictor-Class Cruiser|Interdictor-class cruiser]], though its combat capabilities have been greatly reduced and it lacks the much desired gravity generators incorporated into its famous predecessor. While employed by the [[Black Sun]] crime syndicate, [[Tomas o`Cuinn|Cuinn]] utilized [[Aurora Technologies]], and later [[White Star]], to outfit and modify the cruiser's interior design for a more luxurious and aesthetic appeal along with replacing many of the dated systems with modern technology. The flight-grade repulsorlifts, an unusual fit for a [[:Category:Capital Ships|Capital-class]] starship, allows both atmospheric entry and surface landing capability and combined with its powerful turbolasers, these specifications put the cruiser into a unique category. When "danger close" turbolaser support is needed during surface combat, the '''Ke'gyce Keldab''' answers the call with a vigorous amount of firepower. The extremely accurate destruction wrought by its twenty turbolasers combined with the monstrous visual that accompanies a massive cruiser inside an atmosphere are enough to turn the tide in any situation.


==Fighter Complement==
While the '''Ke'gyce Keldab''''s turbolaser batteries make for an effective defense and deterrent against other [[:Category:Capital Ships|Capital-class]] starships, its limited number of heavy lasers leave it quite vulnerable to organized squadrons of attacking [[:Category: Fighters|starfighters]]. To counter this, the cruiser carries its own thirty-strong complement of [[:Category: Fighters|starfighters]] incorporating two different designs. The pilots of both squadrons train regularly on flight and combat simulators in a process of continuous improvement, keeping their skills honed and ready for any sudden combat engagements.

===Cabur Squadron===
[[File:R-41 Starchaser.jpg|200px|left|border|R-41 Starchaser]] '''Cabur Squadron''', twelve [[R-41 Starchaser|R-41 Starchasers]] with three ships in reserve, operates as an assault squadron capable of effectively engaging enemy [[:Category:Light Freighters|light freighters]], [[:Category:Gunboats|gunboats]] and other [[:Category:Fighters|starfighters]]. With its weaponry including heavy lasers, ion cannons and proton torpedoes, it easily fills the role of a multi-role [[:Category:Fighters|starfighter]] and is capable of tackling almost any scenario involving smaller enemy starships. While [[R-41 Starchaser|R-41 Starchasers]] are known for their positive balance of speed, weapons and durability, they lack heavy armour and internal hull bracing. As a result, they are vulnerable to well-placed enemy shots, but impressive maneuverability combined with high pilot skill help to negate this weakness. Regardless, the [[R-41 Starchaser]] is famous for its high reliability, low maintenance requirements and cost-effective market price, making it extremely economical despite its impressive usefulness and utility.


===Jurkad Squadron===
[[File:StarSaberXC-01StarfighterMkI.png|200px|left|border|MkI Star Saber]] '''Jurkad Squadron''', twelve [[Star Saber XC-01 Starfighter MkI|MkI Star Saber XC-01 starfighters]] with three ships in reserve, operates as a space superiority squadron specifically against enemy [[:Category:Fighters|starfighters]]. With exceptional durability, it is capable of standing against all but the most advanced of modern [[:Category:Fighters|fighters]] such as the [[X-Wing T-65|X-wing]], [[Miy`Til]] or [[Razor Fighter|Razor]]. Its sleek hull is surprisingly fortified and, with its deflector shielding, can typically absorb a couple of lucky shots before ultimately failing. Dual heavy laser cannons combined with its impressive maneuverability and high pilot skill are the deciding factor between whether that durability will be tested during a dogfight. When the capture of an enemy target is required, these [[Star Saber XC-01 Starfighter MkI|MkI Star Saber's]] are able to assist with their individual ion cannons. The uniquely-shaped hull also excels during atmospheric combat, giving it a distinctive edge against other [[:Category:Fighters|starfighter]] designs during planetary operations.
