Casualties aboard Fearless were 107 killed and 58 wounded. After a protracted exchange during the chase, Fearless having been reduced to a wreck, an opportunity arose to use the grav lance and fire energy torpedoes, and Sirius was destroyed with all hands.

The Havenite ship refused and eventually began firing missiles. Fearless followed Sirius and demanded she stop and return to Medusa orbit. Commander Harrington then stopped a Havenite courier boat from leaving the system by damaging its beta nodes with Fearless ' impeller wedge. When Sirius left orbit, Harrington sent a LME-970, Case: Zulu, through the junction to the Admiralty. įearless 's crew investigated the Havenite freighter PMSS Sirius, and discovered that the vessel's crew had lied about its flight status. Fearless ' crew then began rigorously enforcing customs regulations to the point that they seized over 1.5 billion Manticoran dollars worth of contraband. The ship went into Medusan orbit as the main base of operations for the RMN in the system. Fearless later deployed a customs inspection team to Basilisk Traffic Control, and a net of recon drones throughout the system. Young, claiming need for a refit, promptly departed for Manticore's shipyards, leaving Harrington as the senior officer on Basilisk Station. ( HH1)Īfter completion of the exercises, Fearless was re-supplied and assigned to the picket station in the Basilisk System, where it rendezvoused with HMS Warlock, commanded by Captain Lord Pavel Young. Even so, Fearless was able to 'destroy' two more ships. But in subsequent 'battles', Fearless was destroyed every time as the aggressor ships directed special attention to her. By advocating unusually deceptive tactics, with the assistance of the flag captain, Harrington was able to 'destroy' the aggressor flagship, HMS King Roger. She was to get the ship ready for the imminent war games.įearless was assigned to Admiral Hemphill's 'defender'' fleet during the exercises. The chase armaments remained unchanged.Ĭommander Honor Harrington took command of the refitted Fearless immediately after graduating from the Advanced Tactical Course. To partially compensate, fourteen smaller energy torpedo launchers were added. Much of the ship's conventional broadside armament was removed. The grav lance's control systems were tied directly into the ship's main tactical system. In 1900 PD, Fearless was refitted as part of a top-secret experimental project by installing a grav lance at the behest of Admiral Sonja Hemphill and the Weapons Development Board. Fearless checked into HMSS Hephaestus for a refit which McKeon oversaw. In 1899 PD, McKeon was promoted to executive officer under Captain Rath. In 1898 PD, Lieutenant Commander Alistair McKeon was assigned to the ship as the tactical officer. Fearless was originally commissioned in 1820 PD.
