OSSI CV Hopeful Endeavour
The OSSI CV Hopeful Endeavour is a Tawa-class medium carrier, designed and manufactured by ISP-Northstar (IPS-N). As part of OSSI’s Public Service Division fleet, the Hopeful Endeavour serves as a rapid-response carrier, deploying Lancer pilots, marines, and strike craft to high-risk security zones. The ship has been in service for 10 years, and is currently under the command of Captain Brigid Farris. With a crew of approximately 450 personnel, the Hopeful Endeavour operates as an independent patrol vessel, providing security, escort services, and emergency response across the diaspora.
Under Captain Farris’ command, the Hopeful Endeavour has seen occasional combat duties on her long interstellar patrols – primarily anti-piracy actions as well as joint operations with the Union Navy. Currently, the Hopeful Endeavour has been contracted by Union to escort a diplomat to a recently rediscovered colonised world called Cressidium. Cressidium lacks any major naval powers, so it is unlikely that the Hopeful Endeavour will be called upon to participate in combat even if things should turn sour.
