The RECV
Robert Heinlein (PS-01) was one of the first
Imager-class prowlers ever constructed after the prototype.
History
The RECV Robert Heinlein (PS-01) was laid down in The Hive, on Sanctuary, a decade and a half after the end of the War of Secession. The Heinlein was the first prowler built for the Ranger Exploration Corps after the prototype. The Heinlein was responsible for scouting several now colonized systems, including the Aradesh System, and the Mithus System.
Namesake
The RECV Robert Heinlein (PS-01) is named for Robert A. Heinlein (July 7, 1907 CE - May 8, 1988 CE). Heinlein was a noted and sometimes controversial science fiction writer, known for his sometimes unusual ideologies. Parts of his works formed the basis for The Initiative's military and governmental structure, particularly drawing from his 1959 CE novel "Starship Troopers".
