The ANS Big Dog
With FTL and Space Tech advancing in leaps and bounds since the days of the generation carriers, Space became more and more accessible to those outside the Alliance Military. Astronautical Corperations could open their stock to the general public, and soon that new market could shore up the Alliance Navy. Cargo was Hauled by Civilian cargo fleets, Exploration was performed by adventurous private vessel and colonies could suppliment their Navy Escorts with mercenaries, freeing the more advanced Navy vessels for other duties.
The ANS Big Dog is a former Navy "Fixer" Repair Corvette, long since replaced by the "Shipwright" and "Sentry" Class, Equiped with an enlarged largo bay, front mounted repair and malipulation arms and a Single Duel railgun on its upper size, the Fixer was the workhourse for salvage and repair work untill its age and lack of an AI core caught up with it and it was replaced. Sold in auction to a Private Security company, the Bog Dog has changed hands many a time untill it has ended up under its current Captain, and still serves as loyaly as it did when it rolled off the production lines.
Under private onwership, this Corvette has been frequently upgraded as technology advanced, private secotor comorts replacing spartan and efficient Navy trappings, and now this corvette is perfectly suited for long range exploration and ship salvage.
