Remarks: The Adda Dubsar was a Kinunir class cruiser first laid
down in 292-1087. The ship was ordered scrapped in 1087, and the
ship lay rusting as an animal habitat in General Shipyards scrap
heap until Oberlindes lines began showing an interest in the
completed hull in 1105.
In 1106 Oberlindes made a bid of 1 million Cr for the
scrapped hulk. The offer was taken as General had no plans for
the hulk. The 63 MCr hull was then referbished as a merchant
ship. Some of its fuel tanks were converted into cargo capacity,
but if left empty of cargo can easily be filled with fuel for an
additional 4167Kl of fuel. This can increase the range of the
ship to 2 jump-3+43 days endurance.
The cruiser is armed as most of Oberlindes Lines ships are,
but its armament has never been tried in combat. It seems that,
faced with an Imperial cruiser, most corsairs tend to run.
Though there has been a case where the Imperial Cruiser Luuru was
attacked by a lone corsair. It seems that they mistook the Luuru
for the Adda Dubsar.
Classified: Since this incident, all Kinunir class cruisers have
had their transponders adjusted so that they may broadcast that
of the Adda Dubsar. Oberlindes Lines obtained a profitable
freight contract from the Navy in exchange for permission to use
the Adda Dubsar's code. In the bargain the Adda Dubsar has
permission to use the code of the Imperial Colonial Cruiser
Agidda. (The code is slightly modified for proper identification
to Naval Vessels). The Adda Dubsar's freight contract calls for
it to only call upon systems with Naval Bases, thus appearing to
suppliment the Naval forces in the area. The ship lands at the
base and has it's cargo delivered there. Thus no one knows of
the merchant's true presence.
