QBS Ships

QBS Ships - Queen's Battle Ships Not all of the ships used by Bethane Anne have been listed, as there were some only mentioned once. Below are the most noteworthy and most mentioned in the Gambit.

QBS Achronix TKG 16/11 TKG 16/11 Tabitha’s own Ranger ship. Scaled-down, human version of the G’laxix Sphaea. Can handle 10 people (Tabitha, 6 Tontos, 3 passengers.

QBS Ad Aeternitatum TKG 07/25 New name of the smaller support ship used for Bethany Anne's earlier activities. Original name: Sea Axe. An AmelsSEA AXE 220', See listing for Ad Aeterniatem, this category.

QBS Alexander (Reynolds) TKG 18/5, 19 Original name was QBS Reynolds. Renamed QBS Alexander, because of confusion with real life Reynolds. Only small ship in Etheric Empire that can gate Similar to ArchAngel II, but less people, more bots. Capt. Natalia Jakowski in command. Ship provides information on locations of defensive asteroids all over system, for planning.

QBS ArchAngel TGS 01/10, 16 Puck Destroyer, Leviathan-Class Battleship Originally destroyed when Bethany Anne went through Gate, in fight with Yollins. Much of its database had been salvaged and transferred to another ship. That vessel was consequently dubbed QBS ArchAngel II in honor of the first. Even the A.I., also known as ArchAngel, had been transferred. I saw the ArchAngel blow up firsthand. Are you telling me this is the same ship? Did you just rebuild it from scratch?” Julianna asked. “It’s the same ship,” Lance confirmed. “In fact, you’ll never guess who else is here.” A screen lit up on a nearby wall and a woman’s face appeared on it. Her eyes were so large that they seemed intimidating. “Greetings, everyone,” she told them. “I’m ArchAngel. It’s good to meet you. “I thought the A.I. was moved to the other ship, QBS ArchAngel II?” Julianna asked. “No, she was only copied, not transferred. The original A.I. had to be left behind. “I was salvaged, though, after several decades, I’m told,” said ArchAngel. We had to leave the ship behind for a while during the war, but a few decades ago, I had her rebuilt. We used the original as much as possible, but scrapped everything that wasn’t up to code.” “This ship has been upgraded with a largely automated system, which means ArchAngel, the A.I., not the ship, can handle most of the smaller tasks. I expect this ship to avoid combat, unless it is absolutely necessary, so you’ll be relying largely on the Q-Ships. When you aren’t using them, this will act as your home and a place to regroup.” Hatch had wondered what might have become of the many and varied projects he had worked on during his short time with the Federation. Now he knew. This refurbished ship, the one taken from the wreckage in an ancient battle, had become something of a personal showcase for him—the manifestation of his legacy

QBS Coach's Revenge TKG 15/20 Captain Maximilian Wagner looked around his ship, the newly christened Coach’s Revenge and nodded to his number one.
