Name: Flea
Nickname: Savior
Class: Magus-class Command Destroyer
Commissioned: Late January, YC122
Homedock: PF- in Venal, for now.
Builder: [REDACTED]
Status: In-Service
Crew Compliment: 10 + Pod
Purpose: Active-duty combat vessel
Reasons for flagship designation: My primary ship for this deployment. She’s been through a few dozen fleet actions already, providing boosts, remote repairs, and tactical relocation capabilities. (No, seriously, the Magus is amazing when it comes to multi-tasking like she thinks she’s a T3C.)
Favorite moments: Bouncing nearly the entire LogiFrig group of our Typhoon fleets out of bubbles just as NC. drops titans because they don’t like Horde getting to fight.

Reason for designation: It’s lasted longer than my Helios, Ishtar and Dominix have. As a result, it’s the only regularly-used ship I have left since before I semi-retired.

Best thing about it? It’s the best damn assault frigate there is. CreoDron really designed a gem when they came up with this thing. What other frigate-sized vessel can destroy an entire Mul-Zatah Monastery? And before you say Worm, which ship actually makes it fun? There’s nothing more death-defying than zipping around amongst a hail of laser fire from blooder cruisers, being able to dodge them all and blow their disgusting crimson-stained hulls to oblivion.

Nice ship, but a Drake called “Legion” is screwing with my head.
Then again, maybe that’s the point.

Full Name: CNS Reprisal
Nickname: Lucky Jack
Class: T3 Tactical Destroyer
Age: Built by previous owner 2 years ago
Homedock: Classified
Status: In Service
Souls on board: Classified
Purpose: Combat, Exploration, Prate corpse collection
Reason for Designation: Sentimental value
Favorite moments: As a new capsuleer I was overwhelmed by the sheer depth and breadth of available ships on various markets. After discussion with a friend he highly recommended the Jackdaw class for my needs and also had a spare hull he had constructed years ago and never put into service. Graciously he donated the ship to me in hopes I would enjoy piloting her. Well. I fell in love not soon after our first undock as I warped into a Blood Raider warehouse and liberated there cache of glass needed by the empire for some strange reason. This time, not being in a Caracal I decided to stand my ground and lay the lot to waste. In short order I had reduced them to burning wrecks, something my previous Caracal had found quite a challenge. Flipping the Reprisal into it’s high speed high agility mode I made the warp back with a smile on my face that no ship had ever given me. The Amarr got there silly glass (how an empire of any type is so in need of glass held by pirates in a warehouse is beyond me), and I’d found my new workhorse.

Name : Kurniainen Avenger
Class : T1 Cruiser (Osprey Navy Issue)
Homedock : Classified location in the Sahtogas System
Age : I don’t remember when I acquired her, but she was fitted in december or november of YC121 as part of a group of 8 identical vessels.
Builders : Unknown
Status : Active, 21 confirmed kills (killmarks)
Souls on board : 149, capsuleer excluded.
Purpose : Hit and Run combat, engaging frigates and destroyers while outnumbered
Reasons for flagship designation : Actions at Kurniainen at 0300 on January 12, YC122 where she and a couple allies disrupted a minmatar bash fleet and succesfully pulled the system out of vulnerable. Ultimately this was only a short reprieve but I like to think it reminded the Tribal Liberation Forces that Faith and Courage will defeat them. https://br.inyour.space/?s=3089&b=8956980&e=90&t=OIfQQQQQQb
Favorite moments : Hitting warp as the shields break and the mwd overheat klaxon is blaring.

According to the definition of a flagship as a command vessel, I have gone through (and repeatedly lost) a few vessels which I have raised a command flag from. Not command vessels for an entire fleet, though. My use for them means that I go through them fast enough that I’m designating a hull type as a flagship, rather than any specific hull.
Guardian-class and Basilisk-class logistics cruisers of a few configurations.
Homeports are the Keepstar in Camal where Rekking Crew is headquartered and the Lai Dai station in Kinakka.
Like my previously-listed flagships from which I used to lead small fleets designed to fight around wormholes, I’ve repeatedly lost these ships. For a couple of my most memorable engagements with the Rekking Crew ones, I have some brief stories of how I’ve lost them.
The first time that I led a logistics wing which encountered any serious opposition, both sides of the fight escalated with capital (and, in Legacy’s case, supercapital) forces with enough firepower being thrown around that subcapital logistics ships couldn’t keep up and didn’t last long due to being priority targets. https://zkillboard.com/kill/83199829/
The last time that I can recall Rekking Crew flying Rattlesnakes, a communications outage resulted in me not hearing people tell me to move the logistics wing that anchored on me, enabling the hostile fleet to warp directly onto and destroy us. https://zkillboard.com/kill/83581283/
A few days after I became able to run these ships with only a single capacitor transfer into mine, my corporation announced that it would begin a reclamation of our traditional homeland of Black Rise in general and Kinakka in particular. And coincidentally, the Guardians that we would use with our Sacrileges would have only one capacitor transfer. We have seen some intense fighting now that it’s been on for a week and I’m already flying my third Guardian of this campaign. Due to our culture of having every member step up to leadership positions, I’ve led the Guardians a few times, as have several others in the corp.
My first Guardian loss in this campaign occurred when we noticed that the most common Kinakka-based adversaries were fighting against a Shadow Cartel fleet of Sacrileges and Guardians, so we decided to add more numbers to the Sacrilege fleet. When they brought out an Apostle and a dreadnought, Shadow Cartel responded with their own dreadnoughts This caught the attention of Snuffed Out, an alliance which has repeatedly come to the rescue of the usual adversaries during this campaign. They handled this as they are renowned for handling it, with overwhelming force. I believe that we only managed to take down the Apostle. https://zkillboard.com/kill/84005347/
I suspect that some day, I will find myself facing off against @Arrendis in the opposing fleet again. Perhaps next time both of us will be handling fleet logistics, though for alliance operations I have generally flown assault or reconnaissance cruisers. Maybe it’ll be when I finally get to use the Scimitar that I recently moved to X-7OMU.

Wow, Kimmy’s corp is on that kill… that’s awesome.
I see this place is still active, I’d forgotten about it. A small update on “Steel Beams” then, it met its end some time ago against both Minmil and local pirate forces during my tenure with Project Gungnir. I haven’t really replaced it with a new flagship as most of my vessels either don’t get used very often or are lost very quickly. Such is the nature of the warzone.
