Procuring first-class mechs for the Larkinson Clan was the final major step to turning the Premier Fleet into a real fighting force.
Without the mechs, the Premier Fleet mostly consisted of useless combat carriers.
The only vessels that could fight without needing to rely on strike craft were two captured and converted alien hulls.
The first was the converted archeship, which recently came into operation as the Morpheus.
The second was the converted orven battleship, which was still officially known as the Torturous Scream of a Human Dying in Agony over a Span of 46.7 Hours.
Both warships were slated to play indispensable roles in the Premier Fleet.
Yet despite their power and capabilities, Ves and the other Larkinsons still considered mechs to be their primary means of waging war.
A single stealth vessel had good scouting and infiltration capabilities, but the Morpheus could easily get shot to pieces if she ever became exposed.
