====== Phoenix ======

As with its sister ship, the original [[xyth:ships:troy|Troy]] carrier, the Phoenix battleship joined the human fleets to take on [[xyth:rivii|Rivi'i]] and [[xyth:caescix|Caes'cix]] opponents. Both ships rarely worked in tandem, as there were two bases to defend : [[xyth:socs:aladayr|Aladayr's outpost]] near the [[xyth:opengates|north-eastern open gate]], and [[xyth:socs:tec|The Eastern Citadel]] in the deep east.

[[xyth:ships:troy|Troy]]'s strength was with its capability to launch a veritable cloud of small fighters that were a perfect counter to the slow and hulking [[xyth:rivii|Rivi'i]] ships. The Phoenix, built on the same hull type as the [[xyth:ships:troy|Troy]] did not come with any ship launcing capbilities in favor of several batteries of medium-range chaingun turrets backing up a pair of artillery turrets that could propel vast masses of superheated metal over frightful distances.

The battleship proved to be an ideal barrier against the [[xyth:caescix|Caes'cix]] hordes and as such primarily operated in the vicinity of the outpost, while [[xyth:ships:troy|Troy]] remained in the east. Under command of the experienced [[xyth:chars:aladayr|Aladayr]], the single Phoenix class vessel time and time again took on unbelievable hordes of opponents and managed to return home from even the most destructive battles. Seemingly indestructible, it was a credit to its name.

Unlike the [[xyth:ships:troy|Troy]], upon which a smaller carrier model was eventually based, the Phoenix class only produced a single vessel. After the [[xyth:caescix|Caes'cix]]-[[xyth:rivii|Rivi'i]] battles in the area petered out, the Phoenix became a mobile military academy, in honour of [[xyth:chars:aladayr|Aladayr]], the legendary instructor of many of the first [[xyth:orgs:gox|GoX]] and [[xyth:orgs:xlg|XLG]] pilots, who remained onboard to advice and train young pilots.
