Template:Ship-Current The Pulsar Battle Cruiser (HRS Pride RF 01) is the flagship of the Hapes Consortium and Royal Family. The ship was designed by the Royal Engineer Corps in 4025 and constructed between 4026 and 4028 in order to fill the void left by the Tractia Heavy Cruiser. The Royal Family was also disappointed in the slow-paced development of the Battle Dragon and longed for a new flagship. The HRS Pride is unique and will never see mass production. Much of the interior is devoted to luxurious facilities installed to accomodate the Royal Family.
It is the most powerful vessel in the Hapes Cluster, designed to protect the Royal Family when it ventures away from Hapes Prime. Since it was commissioned in 4029, it has been a frequent sight all across Hapan space and has even embarked on good-will tours of the outside galaxy.
History
Background
While the Nova Battle Cruiser were considered powerful ships and the progress of the Battle Dragon development was starting to look promising by 4025, the Hapes Consortium lacked a powerful flagship-type cruiser along the lines of the former Tractia Heavy Cruiser and Star Home motherships. The Royal Engineering Corps was tasked with designing the Pulsar Battle Cruiser in 4025. After a year of development, the designs were completed and submitted to the Royal Hapan Palace in 4026.
Construction began in late 4026 with Alpha Ship Construction's Sion system shipyards and continued for two years. Considering the bulk of the vessel it was considered to be a quite short and effective completion time when it was launched in late 4028. It was christened by King James shortly thereafter and the first crewmembers boarded their new vessel in the first days of 4029.
The ship went through a series of initial tests during the first months of 4029 to ensure that it was operating as expected before being commissioned after four months.
Service
The ship was made part of the Phoenix Fleet protecting the Royal Family and was operated by a crew from the Phoenix where it continued to serve for several years. An ambassador was attached to the ship full time to assist the Royal Family when the ship goes on diplomatic good-will tours, as it has on many occassions to both the Galactic Empire and Trade Federation.
The ship also visited Naboo in preparation for the Gormoth project, assisting with the transportation of large raw material quantities from the Akheton Mining Corporation back to the Hapes Cluster.
Some of the comparments and computer systems of the cruiser were renovated and upgraded in 4031.
