Small Mercy

SK-374812967-D is a Skinner-class survey cutter, laid down in the year 829 at Byrni highport. During the Fall it was attached as an E/W picket to CruRon Beta of the home fleet and suffered a catastrophic hit in the engineering section during the opening phases of the Battle of Rhizol, which destroyed the Jump Drive and rendered it dead in space. The hull was salvaged ten years after the Fall, the maneuver drive was repaired and it was attached as an escort to SDB-13A's squadron.
