Intemperance

The Intemperance was commissioned in 572.M37, and is one of Battlefleet Achernar's oldest vessels. Like many dictator-class cruisers, it was originally a lunar class ship of the line, but had its lance batteries replaced with flight decks in 943.M40 after Battlefleet Achernar lost two of its carriers in the same year. The refit was done in something of a rush, resulting in occasional power fluctuations on the port flight deck, but generally this manifests as slightly inconsistent lighting levels rather than anything more serious. The deck crew brush the issue aside as just one of the ships 'quirks.'

Crew

• Commander Gereon Priscus has been the acting captain of the Intemperance for the last four months following Captain Tormand's arrest. The Priscus family are wealther Kapran merchants who bought Gereon his commission as soon as he was old enough to join the service. He is regarded as ambitious but un-creative, something that has stymied his passage through the ranks. He is popular with the Intemperance's officers, and has numerous contacts with other well-to-do types with Battlefleet Achernar as a whole.
• Gunnery Officer (Lt Commander)
• Flight Officer (Lt Commander)
