UEES Countenance

UEEN Carrier associated with Squadron 42


       The UEES Countenance was a carrier-type vessel of unknown class that served the 地球联合帝国海军 during the 第二次塔维因战争. During the Battle for Centauri it was one of the carriers left to guard the Centauri - Elysium jump point while other forces defended the population centres on 祭星 and Yar. The attacks on the planets were cunning distractions, and the 塔维因 leader Corath'Thal had intended to draw forces away from the jump point.

With his obstacles diminished, Corath'Thal ordered his fleet to attack the jump point. Pushing the UEE carriers back, the fleet broke formation in order to jump to the 极乐星系 and their ultimate objective of the Tevarin homeworld, Jalan. It was at this point that the Countenance's combat squadron, 42中队 attacked, exploiting the weakened Tevarin defences to knock out the enemy shields and permit the carrier group to renew their attack in earnest.

This action had been planned by Captain Alexandra Dunlevy, and authorised by Admiral Fraser, and while Corath'Thal was able to escape with some ships, the action severely broke the Tevarin invasion's strength, leading to their eventual defeat. The event cemented Captain Dunlevy's legacy, and put Squadron 42 on a path to empire-wide renown.[1]
