The Cochise

The Cochise

the space ship of Union Ranger Peter Baker

Union Rangers are permitted to use their private ship and get a maintenance allowance for fuel, ammunition (if needed) food and supplies as well as minor repairs [1]

The Ranger service also provides an official ranger service transponder, Class IX weapons and military grade shields.[2]

Officially the Cochise is a very old Dolphin Class Destroyer (Pre Uni Design) and a predecessor of the Barracuda series. But rumors have it, that is one of the most advanced ships in existence.

(CLASSIFIED) It was improved by Wulf Starr and “The Helper”(a gift to Peter by Dark Cloud ) It has full healing capabilities and can repair up to 90 percent of total damage (as long as the Helper is intact) the Weapons are based on 54th century Terran technology (of an alternative Time stream)

It has been observed that the Cochise has been hit by multiple Line blasts of the largest Kermac cannons and did not suffer any damage (without shields)

the Cochise has standard Union ParaDim Shields (single layer) and a type of Shimmer shield no one but Peter knows where they are from.

The Cochise is fast (and until the USS Tigershark ) the fastest ship known.

The Cochise went toe to toe with a Y'All battle ship and came out on top.

The Cochise has a true AI that is fully sentient (not officially known)

She also features two dual barrel Mass Accelerator Machine Cannons, classified a Class IX weapon but not needing any ammunition and firing slugs of liquid Neutronium.(developing incredible kinetic impact energy in the 100 Kiloton range)

She is equipped with a very advanced (Union tech) fully automated sick bay.

The ship does not need fuel and has according to Peter an unlimited range.



The Ship is 210 meters long.

But being a civilian agency, the Ranger service (and all other law enforcement agencies are prohibited from using Class X weapons.
