USS Motherhen

USS Motherhen

The USS Motherhen is an unarmed 550 meter DeNoir built Bretangne Class frontier freighter customized as a fighter support vessel.

While many fighters are aboard carriers or  capital ships, there are a vast number of fighter groups deployed all across Union space in medium and small bases to provide  swift response and security to shiping lines and trade routes, especially in  the fringe regions.

It has been shown that a wing (or two) Wolfcrafts or a few Scorpions can provide effective security much more cost effective and less logistic intensive as a Destroyer or even bigger fleet units. These small fighter posts often do not have the neccessary specialists or facilities tom provide repair and maintenance.

The USS Motherhen and ships like her are capable of delivering munitions, provide repair and more detailed maintenance and go from fighter post to fighter post. That way one such specialized

ship can provide these services to number of bases without the need to provide each base with the neccessary equipment and more so with the neccessary specialists and engineers.

The USS Motherhen is a mobile repair center, has stores of spare parts and fuel (including a mobile refinery)
