Overview
Die TCS Solaris ist ein Dreadnought der Confederation-Klasse - ein massives Drei-Rollen-Kriegsschiff, das als Flottenkommando-Plattform, Schlachtschiff und schwerer Träger konzipiert ist. Obwohl ihre Doktrin in die Jahre gekommen ist, bleibt die Solaris ein Eckpfeiler der strategischen Verteidigung im Enigma-Sektor. Die TCS Solaris zählt hierbei zu den älteren, aber regelmäßig modernisierten Dreadnoughts der TCN. Sie ist eine Festung im Weltraum, die die Linie hält, wenn alles andere fällt.
Konstruktion & Geschichte
- Beginn der Arbeiten: August 2662 - Jupiter Naval Yards
- Fertigstellung des Rumpfes: September 2664
- 2665 - Aktiver Einsatz: November 2665
- 2666 - Dem Axius-System zugewiesen
Strategic Role
TCS Solaris is permanently stationed in the Axius System, a region with little direct military value—by design. This low-profile placement allows Solaris to remain hidden in plain sight, while positioned to respond rapidly to key jump corridors across the Enigma Sector.
She defends:
- Major jump points connecting Vega, Enigma, and frontier systems
- Pembroke Station, a logistical and command hub
- Critical infrastructure, including:
- Jump Gate Stabilizers
- Naval War Foundries
- Starfighter Yards
- Civilian Colonies classified as strategic support nodes
While frontline strike groups push offensively into Kilrathi territory, Solaris stays back. She waits—quiet, cold, and watching—ready to unleash overwhelming retaliation if the enemy breaks through.
Offiziell fungiert die Solaris als strategische Reserveeinheit, also das, was man ruft, wenn nichts anderes mehr übrig ist – und sich niemand mehr traut, dem Generalstab zu sagen, dass es gerade schiefläuft.
Ihre Präsenz im Axius-System dient der Verteidigung kritischer Infrastruktur, der Überwachung von Knotenpunkten im Enigma-Sektor sowie als Back-up für das Regionalkommando – ein Posten, der mit „hoffentlich müssen wir sie nie losschicken“ beschrieben wird.
Primäre Aufgaben:
Verteidigung strategisch wichtiger Infrastrukturen
(z. B. Sprungpunkte, Orbitalwerften, Kommandozentralen)
Sektorweite Bereitschaftseinheit („Firebreak“-Status)
Eingreifen nur bei eskalierenden Bedrohungen – nicht für Routineeinsätze.
Backup-Kommando für Sektorflotten
Übernimmt bei Ausfall / Überforderung lokaler Führung – selten, aber endgültig.
Koordination sektorweiter Rückzugs- oder Blockademaßnahmen
Insbesondere bei Evakuierungen oder taktischen Verzögerungsoperationen.
Command Profile
- Commanding Officer: Fleet Admiral Ghad Buloth
- Crew Complement: ~4,200
- Air Wing: 120+ fighters, bombers, shuttles
- Support Assets: Dropships, recon craft, and logistic drones
- Defense Protocol: Escort battlegroup required
Buloth, known for his absolute discipline and doctrine-focused leadership, has turned Solaris into a fully optimized fortress-command hybrid. His tactical style is predictable, but lethal in its precision.
Known Limitations
- Outdated in Fast Warfare: Less effective in modern rapid-deployment naval tactics
- Power Strain: Primary spinal weapon draws excessive energy, temporarily weakening shields and ECM
- Slow Repositioning: Mobility limited; relies on jump network and escorts for movement
- High Maintenance Footprint: Vast crew and complex systems increase vulnerability in prolonged campaigns
Despite this, her deterrence value remains unmatched. Enemy scouts avoid sectors where she might lurk.
Recent Activity (2665–2667)
- 2665: Commissioned and deployed to stabilize Vega flank during Operation Winter Hammer
- 2666: Redeployed to Axius; established forward command infrastructure with Pembroke Station
- 2667: Ongoing strategic overwatch and jump point defense across northern Enigma Sector

Beschreibung
The TCS Solaris is a Confederation-class Dreadnought, the pinnacle of Terran naval engineering—a mobile fortress and strategic command platform designed to dominate entire sectors. Built during the later stages of the Terran-Kilrathi War, Solaris serves as both a weapon of last resort and a symbol of peace through unmatched power. As one of only a few of her kind, she combines the roles of fleet command, battleship, and heavy carrier in a single massive frame.
However, her immense size makes her slow and cumbersome, vulnerable to fast, agile enemy fighters and impossible to conceal. The high cost and complexity limit their numbers, placing great strategic importance on each dreadnought. Rigid tactics and reliance on strict doctrine can make her predictable, and as a flagship, her loss would deal a severe blow to fleet coordination and morale.
Missionsparameter
The TCS Solaris is currently stationed in the Axius system, positioned like an unyielding bulwark before the vital Pembroke Station. Acting as an advanced forward base, she safeguards the Confederation’s most critical infrastructure: jump gate stabilizers, war factories, high-orbit foundries, starfighter production facilities, and essential civilian colonies. While other vessels strike deep into Kilrathi-controlled space, Solaris waits—silent, cold, watching—ready to unleash overwhelming force to defend everything the Confederation cannot afford to lose.
All ranks serve aboard Solaris—from fresh ensigns to battle-hardened officers. But one rule governs them all: follow procedure, or find another ship. Under Buloth’s command, discipline is not encouraged—it is expected. On Solaris, order is survival.
Historie
The TCS Solaris was laid down in 2665 at the Jupiter Naval Yards, its design born from grim necessity. As the Kilrathi advanced deeper into the Enigma and Vega sectors, the Confederation commissioned a dreadnought built not merely to fight, but to endure—a wall that would not break when all others fell.
Command of the vessel was offered to some of the most experienced commanding officers, most of whom declined. Tactics begin to change and more agile, multi purpose ships saw action. The dreadnought’s size and bulk made it vulnerable to agile fighter swarms and difficult to maneuver in fast-paced battles. Its heavy reliance on strict doctrine and rigid tactics left little room for improvisation, making it predictable to experienced foes.
Then came Ghad Buloth. A graduate of Mars Naval College, Buloth neither sought promotion nor favored ambition. His rise was forged in battles marked by ruthless efficiency and zero surprises. His superiors called him unimaginative; his subordinates, unshakeable. To the war, he was inevitable. Without fanfare, Buloth accepted command. He took the shipyard quartermaster’s handbook, turned to “Sector Defense Command Protocols,” and simply stated:
“We will proceed on schedule. And we will not fail.”
By 2667, two years into active service, Solaris has distinguished herself across multiple hot zones in the Vega and Enigma sectors. Now flagship of the 4th Terran Battle Fleet, she stands as both a force multiplier and a pillar of morale in a war that has pushed humanity to its limits.
Kommandant
Fleet Admiral Ghad Buloth is not an innovator—and that’s exactly what makes him dangerous. He follows Confederation Naval doctrine to the letter, wielding the Warbook like scripture. His strength lies not in creativity, but in flawless, unflinching execution. Every maneuver, every formation, every decision is backed by data, modeling, and unwavering discipline.
He doesn’t adapt. He doesn’t improvise. He executes—with absolute precision.
Among his crew, Buloth is respected more than liked. Orders are clear, drills are routine, and deviations are rare. Everything aboard the Solaris runs by the book—because that’s how Buloth fights. And that’s how he wins.
During Solaris’s first deployment, he made his stance clear:
“Victory is not a mystery. It is a matter of angles, ranges, doctrine, and will. We will not surprise the enemy—we will outlast them.”
When asked whether Solaris will ever return to the front lines, Buloth’s reply is always the same:
“If that day comes, it means everything else has failed. Then we hold the line.”

Einsatzverhalten
Die Solaris ist bekannt – oder berüchtigt – dafür, niemals als Erste aufzutreten. Sie erscheint regelmäßig exakt im Moment, in dem eine Kilrathi-Streitmacht glaubt, der Sieg sei nur noch Minuten entfernt. In diesen Fällen folgt ein synchronisiertes, hochpräzises Eingreifen der Solaris, das den Gegner desillusioniert, dezimiert und dezidiert entmutigt zurücklässt.
Die Flottenführung nennt das:
„Buloths Schwelle“ – jener Moment, in dem er entscheidet, dass jemand die Lage definitiv nicht mehr im Griff hat.
Inoffiziell heißt es bei der Crew:
„Wenn wir raus müssen, hat jemand sein Handbuch nicht gelesen.“
Anekdoten
Spitznamen
Kilrathi-Codename für die Solaris:
„Vukar'hra nar'sharak“ – „Zorn, der dich nach dem Lächeln trifft“
– bezeichnend für das wiederkehrende Phänomen, dass Kilrathi-Kampagnen durch ihren Einsatz kurz vor dem Durchbruch gestoppt wurden.
