INF Talleyrand

The INF Talleyrand (Imperial Navy Frigate Talleyrand) is an Imperial Navy patrol frigate originally used by house Andromeda but recently taken over by house Draco.

Summary
The INF Talleyrand was a ship originally used by house Andromeda as defense frigate under the name ADF Amber. Like most vessels ordered by house Andromeda, it was built with an experimental reactor upgrade in order to facilitate the power necessary to run the vessel almost completely automated by AI and VI crew members.

At the time of the overthrowing of the Emperox Andromeda and the purging of his house and all synthetic life forms it created, the ship was undergoing repairs at an Imperial Navy refueling station. The crew was terminated and the ship impounded. In the month after the conflict the ship was refitted to support a human crew and renamed to Talleyrand. Without an emperor on the throne the Imperial Navy is currently operating mostly independent to keep the peace across the sector and it is unclear who is actually on top in the chain of command. However, in light of recent pirate activity and general unrest in the sector the Talleyrand was assigned a new crew and sent out of dry dock in order to keep the peace.

Behind the Scenes
The ship was named after french diplomat Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord.
