CSN Ifrit
Ifrit is a Confederation starfighter carrier.
Background
One of the three most well recognised carriers of the CSN's
fleet,
Ifrit can be relied upon to be deployed to any trouble hotspots
or zone of contention and deliver the results the Confederation
desire.
The carrier is generally commanded by Christian Hail.
The Honour of the Knights
[Toggle Spoilers]
Ifrit was one of the three CSN starfighter carriers that participated
in Operation Menelaus, in the Aster system. It was commanded by
Anthony Hawke, who held the vessel back during the battle to
act as rear guard.
Later, Hawke turned control of the carrier over to Jason Zackaria, who
then took it to destroy Griffin during the Battle of Phylent. It was disabled by
Elliott Parks
during the subsequent fight and eventually recovered by Confederation
forces after Simon Dodds spaced both Hawke and Zackaria.
The Third Side
[Toggle Spoilers]
Ifrit was en-route to the Solaris system, to continue with Special Operations, when it was intercepted in jump
by an invading Pandoran force, forcing it back to normal space where it entered the Coyote system, close to the
planet Mythos. After a very brief battle in which it was outgunned and outnumbered, acting captain Christian Hail
evacuated the White Knights and the rest of the crew, before sealing the ATAFs in the cargo hold. Hail then brought
the carrier down onto Mythos.
Ifrit was ditched in the Tanis Sea shortly thereafter, where it sank to a depth of several hundred meters. Unable
to save the vessel itself, the combined forces of the CSN, CMI, UNF and MTG worked to salvage the ATAFs. Ifrit
was never recovered.
