RWI Tigris

The RWI Tigris was a Defender-class Frigate built and used by Red Wood Industries (RWI) during the Green Drone War. It was one of the first fully-outfitted Defender-class Mark 2 variants seen during the war, and it was later retrofitted with two external docking ports, one on each side of the central hull, which could carry two V-203 Interceptors on each side into battle. It also became the first in the Mk.3 variant of the Defenders following the war, receiving updates to weaponry, internal facilities, and more.

Deployment
The RWI Tigris was constructed around the end of the Green Drone War of 2733. Grand Admiral Adam Williams gave command of the Tigris to Captain Jack Roberts, whose starship, the RWI Eclipse, was under maintenance and repairs following the captain's team's mission to steal a GDA Destroyer. Captain Roberts and his crew assisted the RWI shipyard crews in finishing and slightly modifying the Tigris at a space station near Cyrus Station above Icarus, the capital planet of RWI. They also loaded the Tigris 's hangar bay to the brim with six V-203 Interceptors and two Eitri-class Welder Ships for repair duty. Soon, the Tigris was cleared for launch and Roberts' crew jumped the frigate to the Amre System.

Battle of the GDA Shipyards
The Tigris moved into a small asteroid cluster in the orbit of Demus, an icy planet in the Amre System, to scout a derelict RWI outpost and use it as a staging post for the coming fleet reinforcements. Suddenly, a GDA Destroyer and a squadron of GDA Falcon-class Fighters ambushed the Tigris and its fighter squadron, and the Tigris sustained heavy damage when the Destroyer's Atlas Superlaser nearly severed the bow before the RWI forces destroyed the GDA's. Soon, more enemy forces arrived to chase them off, but the Tigris crew held their ground as forces arrived from RWI and their ally, Crazy North Logistics (CNL). The Tigris joined in the main attack against the GDA Shipyards and the defending GDA fleet, sustaining minor damage throughout the battle and suffering a weapons malfunction at some point, but the RWI forces were successful in capturing the shipyard. However, the RWI flagship Apollo, received a distress call from Icarus that the GDA were invading, and the Tigris and Apollo jumped back to Icarus at once.

Battle of Icarus
The Tigris and her crew arrived at Icarus with the rest of the reinforcements only to find the orbiting stations in ruins. GDA Destroyers, including the Commander's Dreadnought, were waiting for them. Though the Tigris experienced another weapons malfunction, the skeleton crew (as most had been transferred to the Apollo or were piloting V-203s) were able to help the reinforcements secure the orbit. The Tigris remained in orbit for the rest of the battle; Captain Roberts and his crew were sent to aid in the ground battle unfolding at Icarus' capital city. Since it was unmanned, the Tigris was not able to assist in preventing the GDA Command Dreadnought from escaping Icarus with the Artifact, the symbol of the GDA's power.
