UEES Gilchrist

The UEES Gilchrist was a small corvette-type ship of unknown class that served in the United Empire of Earth Navy. Commander Hester Polaris commanded the ship from approximately 2530-2543, and saw frontline service during the First Tevarin War. On August 12 2543, the Gilchrist was ambushed by Tevarin during routine patrol. The crew were able to repel the boarders while also destroying three Tevarin capital ships and numerous small adversaries.

While the Commander would succumb to her wounds after the battle, the event led to the Polaris-class corvette being named in her honour in 2946.
