The Roost ist a MC40 modified light cruiser of the Emperors Hammer. It is currently assigned to Battlegroup III, as part of the ISD-II Challenge's Space Superiority Line.
History[edit]
Originally, the assignment of Infiltrator Wing squadrons Eagle Squadron and Firebird Squadron to the Challenge necessitated a cruiser of Rebel origins to aid them in their missions. Arguments pointed to a cruiser designed by the Mon Calamari, as it would give the squadrons more credibility in their cover. To hold it on a level with the A/CRS in battlegroup three the decision was made to utilize an outdated MC40 light cruiser and modify it two fit the need of the two squadrons.
The modifications needed on the Roost were quiet extensive. Originally the MC40 was designed to hold exactly twelve starfighters, hold consumables for two years, and have a crew of 3,723. With help of the imperial engineers, the large portside hangar was modified to hold twenty-four starfighters in total.
In addition, the "Roost" can carry only supplies for one year and needs only 2,700 Crewman to operate efficiently, thanks to the great discipline and knowledge of a crewman trained by the Empire.
As the modified ship was planned without the knowledge of Raven Squadron being added as third Infiltrator Wing squadron, the engineers installed additional imperial claws to carry more fighters, if needed (as suggested by Kalve Ryder).
With the arrival of the MC-90 Renegade to Battlegroup III and the re-assignment of Infiltrator Wing squadrons to that ship, the Roost has largely been deprecated from its original purpose, but remains a support craft as part of the larger Battlegroup.
