The salvage team was able to conduct enough repairs to the ''Oslo'' to enable her to jump into League space; from there the ''Oslo'' traveled to one of the League's clandestine shipyards capable of conducting repair and renovation work on WarShips and after several months of work the ''Oslo'' was considered ready for line service again. The existence of the ''Oslo'' was kept a secret; the ship was redesignated the FWLS '''''Raven''''', and under the command of [[Commodore]] [[Thomas Mazure]] the ''Raven'' went on to provide security for the [[LCCC]] command center located on Marik.<ref name="FM:FWLp118"/>
