Guesses on what the Regulus Squadron consisted of?
« on: 11 November 2022, 07:13:25 »
Field Report FWL 2765 tells us that the Principality of Regulus had 2 warships. They were the cornerstones of the Regulus Squadron. One of them was the PRS Valor.

That's really all we know from that book. I'm not sure if any later books, like the Succession Wars books, shines more light on this. I've been looking.

So first question is does anyone know of more details on that? Warships of the Regulus Squadron at or after 2765, including during the Succession Wars. I do wonder if they might have added more warships in the lead up to the 1st Succession War. I'm going to dig around the 1st Succession War book, but if anyone beats me to that, great.

Second question, this gets speculative, what class(es) of warships do you think Regulus had? Opinions welcomed.

There is zero additional information on any of the provincial fleets, and zero ways to make anything more than baseless speculation about them. I did ask about it recently in Ask the Writers, if you want to keep an eye on that thread.

The only other reference I think you might have gotten was in a MWDA books where Lester was with his fleet waiting to respond to Clipperton and Atreus.

I'm pretty sure he's referring to the pre-Succession Wars provincial fleets, as described in FR: 2765 FWLM.

Yes, but I think Lester is reminiscing some about old Regulus power and their naval capability.
