The SFCV Theia (FF4) was an Archer-class frigate built for the War of Secession.

History

Laid down in 2020 CE, the SFCV Theia (FF4) was constructed at The Hive, on Sanctuary, in the Arc System. It was launched in 2021 CE, along with several other Archer-class frigates. The Theia had a largely undistinguished career, until the Fall of Earth, where it was notable for nearly ramming an enemy vessel during a risky firing pass.

However, the Theia was lost in 2032 CE, on the edges of the Arc system, when it emerged from a point singularity jump in the path of an oncoming comet.

Namesake

The SFCV Theia (FF4) was named for one of the Greek mythological Titans.
