Stekhoven

The LCS Stekhoven is the capital ship in the Menagerie fleet. It is a cruiser that was originally owned by the newly formed Rector Government and was donated to the Menagerie during its inception. Originally it was the only vessel owned and used by the Menagerie, prior to any headquarters, and so it housed all the creatures it contained. After several years of service, and with an ever growing rate of containment operations, it was decided to construct a ground headquarters, and the containment facilities were removed from the ship.

It was then converted into a deployment unit for large scale operations, and housed several dropships.

Trivia

 * The LCS Stekhoven is named after Adrian van Stekohoven, who built the Vienna Zoo in 1752, which is now the oldest zoo in the world.
