Mississippi’s navy has always been an extremely light affair, primarily built around large numbers of corvettes and frigates. Their mission was to secure the approaches to their casinos on Earth and beyond, and to keep peace and order in the regions they controlled. Their mission was never to fight other warships. That changed during The War when Mississippi was called on to provide security for larger fleet bases and fleet trains. They refitted their corvettes and frigates with new electronic warfare and deflection systems, and sufficient smaller gravitic cannons to make them a threat against even the largest of warships when deployed in squadron strength. They became the primary security force for the fleet buildup at Sunnydale, and helped to secure hundreds of liberated colonies in the Hyades after the main fleets moved on. They have not forgotten this.
