Ex-Commanding Officer, ESS Agamemnon.

Message from the Captain

The Aggie is a good ship.  It has been my privilage and honour to command her for the last four years.

The crew have tremendous skill, experience and I am proud to be their commander.

In the last year we have been involved in operations against the new enemy, known to the media as 'Exterminators'.  As in the past, members of the crew, in common with the rest of the fleet, performed expertly and bravely, and the supreme sacrifce of our Navy and co-belligerents in the Exterminator War have at least brought the enemy to a halt in Quadrant 7.  

 I fully expect this to gain the recognition it so richly deserves.

The Aggie is currently attached to 1st Allied Fleet, based in Sirian space, and I know I speak for all the officers and crew when I say that we can't wait until we have another crack at the foe.

I know we will all do our best, and our duty to the Emperor and to Earth and to all humankind.  

Humanity will prevail.
