Roger Young

G.S.S. A 4 C 1 Roger Young-class Mercury Ship was the largest warship ever commissioned who's size and armaments were placed on public record. Theories persist that it is surpaced in both areas by the G.S.S. Geomancer, though these are unconfirmed.

The Roger Young was a Mercury Ship armed with several massive beam cannons, including one main cannon rated with the power to destroy 9 planets. This made the Roger Young a member of the P.K. 19-series of Mercury Ships.

Roger Young was the official flagship for the Gudersnipe Foundation until it's destruction at the battle of Cori Celesti in A.Y. 900. The entire crew servived without injury, however the ship sank into a gas giant and could not be retrieved.

A project was immediatley launched to construct a sister-ship to the Roger Young along the same design, with the code-name Roger Youn B, however the project was eventually abandoned when a study of the original Roger Young's deployment history concluded that it's gravitational mass-displacement drive was knocking planets out of orbit and having a profound impact on the systems it passed through. The incomplete hull of the Roger Young B was supposedly schedules for scrapping and placed in the Ghost Fleet. It was later commissioned and used in the Battle of the New Day.
