The Halberd is a Republic Shield LDI Strike-class medium cruiser that is currently assigned to the Greeop Defence Force.

In the aftermath of the Battle of Blerthmore, it was cobbled together from the remnants of several destroyed Strike cruisers.

History

The Battle of Blerthmore of 44:2:27 devastated the RS fleet and multiple Strike cruisers were literally blown apart in the attack. One of the few silver linings to this disaster was that some pieces of those cruisers were salvageable. Under the careful direction of Logistics Officer David Vaughan, the Halberd was created from these scraps at the Eagle's Nest Shipyard in the month after the battle. It was commissioned and presented to FC Dave Trebonious-Astoris on 44:3:34 and subsequently joined the Greeop Defence Force.
