The RWS Tadeo Amaris (previously SLS Athens) was an Aegis-class heavy cruiser.[1]
History
Built in 2415, the SLS Athens served for over a century before being mothballed in 2544. It was not reactivated for the Reunification War, but turned over to the Rim Worlds Republic in 2763, who reactivated the newly upgraded vessel under the name Tadeo Amaris]] and made it the flagship of their Third RWR Defense Squadron.[1]
The Tadeo Amaris and its squadron cestroyed numerous Star League WarShips in Hegemony space when Stefan Amaris launched his coup, and staged hit-and-run attacks against Aleksandr Kerensky's supply convoys as the SLDF moved to retake Terra, becoming commerce raiders after the fall of the Rim Worlds Republic. Despite a two million Star League Dollar reward for information on the movements of the squadrons, their ultimate fate is unknown. It was noted that at least some of the crew who weren't fanatical Amaris loyalists were looking for a chance to leave what they increasingly perceived to be a suicide mission.[1]
As of ca. 2774, the Tadeo Amaris had upgraded its wing of (originally) THK-53 Tomahawk aerospace fighters with two squadrons of RPR-100 Rapiers and AHB-443 Ahabs. Four DropShips were associated with the Tadeo Amaris, namely, the Achilles-class RWR Saber, the Leopard CV-class Crossbow and Longbow, and the Elephant-class Blackjack.[1]
