The Roost ist a MC40 modified light cruiser of the Emperors Hammer. It is currently assigned to Battlegroup III under Commodore AD Silwar Naiilo and home to Eagle and Firebird.

Commission and Modification

Discussions were made to give the (to date) two infiltrator wing squadrons, eagle and firebird, an own cruiser 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 To hold it on a level with the A/CRS in battlegroup three the decision was made to utilize an outdated MC40 light cruiser and modificate it two fit the need of the two squadrons.

The modifcations needed on the Roost were quit extensive, originally a MC40 was designed to hold exactly twelve starfighters, consumables for two years and place for 3.723 crewmen. With help of the imperial engineers, the large portside hangar was modificated 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 modificated ship was planned without the knowledge of raven squadron being added as third infiltrator squadron, the engineers installed additional imperial claws to carry more fighters, if needed (as suggested by Kalve Ryder).
