Jackson Hauler (de facto CO, ?—2503) |
The Palatine was a battlecruiser originally used by Nova Squadron. Commanded by Captain Rourke, its interior included maze-like corridors, personal quarters, a comm. room, medical bay, a bridge and a galley. The bridge featured a viewscreen which could have a radar display superimposed over it. Its marine crew was primarily composed of Confederate defectors and neurally resocialized Dominion additions. Neither group had much experience fighting the zerg, a trait that would cost them dearly.[1]
In 2503,[2][3][4] the ship was dispatched to Altara in order to response the reasons behind a wrangler's distress signal, said wrangler involved in a search for a missing ghost. Upon exiting warp space however, it was discovered that a massive zerg force was en route to the world as well, and that their arrival wasn't coincidental. Colonel Jackson Hauler ordered that the zerg force be engaged, the ship being brought into the planet's atmosphere. Ground forces were deployed via Grizzlies and ultimately, the zerg were defeated.[1]
