We’ve managed to cobble together 7 Trident fighters from what remained of the original 230 on board. Most of the parts were bent or broken, reactor pieces were considered too unstable to use. I’m not even going to bother with the strike bombers in the back of the hangar, it was probably the ordinance from those that went off.

The Captain has taken to commanding from his medical bed which worries me. He was never this dedicated to command before, he always rested when he needed to. That was back when he was in command of that escort carrier in the Seventh Galactic Fleet. A grand ship of the German Donner series of ship designs. That was back when the Trident Fighters were first introduced, the fastest craft in the skies and amongst the stars. Of course that record was short lived, those Valdariens really like to be the best, then again, ours never broke down mid flight. It was never a real competition, but I think the Valdariens and the aircraft designers of Earth always had that rivalry. So the trident fighter is still considered the best fighter in our dimension, this one however, I’m not sure. Nonetheless, I have to see about getting the aircraft lift working again.
