MBO capital ships given NS operating codes

The NS fleet already operates Sting 58A fighters and Nectar 52A destroyers, though these are part of the NS fleet. MBO ships of the same types which operate in UNP space are also given reporting numbers for administrative and traffic control purposes. For example, an MBO Nectar currently stationed near Solaris has been numbered 52-532.

The two largest types of ship in the MBO fleet have also been given NS operational codes for the same reason. The Hornet heavy cruiser / command ship has been granted the code Hornet 33Q (the reason for Q at the end of the code is unknown). The gigantic new flagship of the MBO fleet (which has yet to visit the UNP) has been granted the code Hive 29Q.
