The Gift Horse was an AML JumpShip of the ilClan Era
Operational History
In April 3152, Clan Hell's Horses decided to seize the Butler shipyards but sent only a solahma aerospace Trinary to attack it. This decision was made by the Horses as the newborn Alyina Mercantile League was seen as a weak chalcas abomination. This proved to be a mistake, as the system was defended by the Capellan mercenary unit Light of Heaven. Having hidden inside the empty hull of the unfinished AML Invader-class JumpShip, the mercenaries surprised the Horses and destroyed or captured all of the attacking DropShips. AML forces then pursued the Horses' Invader and bombarded its bridge, ensuring it couldn't jump away.[1]
The shipyard personnel quickly exploited the victory, looting the K-F core from the Horses ship to complete the unfinished AML Invader, whose K-F drive was not scheduled to be finished for another two months. Receiving permission from his superiors to name the vessel, the yardmaster christened the newly built JumpShip AMLS Gift Horse, both an ironic joke and insult against Clan Hell's Horses.[2]
