IC: Battleship Dry Docks, Arcadia, 3.00 metric standard time

A massive ceremony is being held for Arcadia's newest battleship class, the Vindicator. Before their commissioning, several high ranking officials make speeches, and a few vets from the just finished Battle of Neviston say a few words before the ceremony begins.

Arkillon walks to the podium, and reads his speech, loud and clear.

Arkillon: We are gathered here today to witness the commissioning of a new age of battleship design, and a spectacle of Arcadian ingenuity and industry. These docks have built many wonders, and they will continue to for many more years. But let's not forget the many working hands who made this all possible. The sailors, the soldiers, the dock workers, the factory men, the miners, the riveteers, all of whom. Let's not forget the past, the veterans who once served, and the ships before that have bore the name Vindicator.

Arkillon takes a bottle of a concoction of olive oil, wine, herbs, and a sprinkling of gold dust, and breaks it of the bow of Vindicator. The crowd cheers as the ship slips down the slip way, into the ocean for the first time.

The ceremony continues, as four more ships of the same class are commissioned. Two, Colonization and Castaway, are destined for service in the Cattirian Navy, and sail off in that direction. The other three go on patrol and sea trials, practicing gunnery and training their rookie crews. Eventually, they are destined to be a 15 ship class, and will have multiple variants, including a cruiser killer and hybrid.
