The Republic is prized as one of the \u201cclassic first-generation gravtech beauties\u201d of the starship market. Designed as a light carrier shortly after Contact, it brought both heavy weapons and as many fighters as possible into multi-role combat until their retirement in the 2250s. The War made us reactivate them where they served on the front lines for nearly the entire twenty years. They were retired again at War\u2019s End and now are used by smaller governments, corporate interests, and War reenactors. More civilians have actually ridden on a Republic during a War reenactment than any other class of ship, despite the fact that they were not the most common ship. They will almost certainly remain in service to humanity for decades to come, if not longer.<\/p>\n
