Brief Background:
The Patriot is the flagship class of the United Alliance Armed Forces space fleet. These vessels are few and far between, often serving as the nerve centers for the different mobile divisions that the Earth's army has throughout its territory. Though built to last, most of these ships were unable to survive the rigors of the Space War. Most were considered priority targets, and singled out by Grand Cross strike teams. In the years that have followed, they have been instrumental in coordinating the slow reconstruction process. As an aside, it should be noted that the central command vessel of the Alliance fleet, and one of the most famous ships of the line, is the
Endeavor.
