Gagarin

After reading all this, I still don't understand how Hikaru's "first mount as leader" could be placed on board the Frontier when it was lost to Britai. Unless Britai somehow returned the wreck later and it was rebuilt to a "non-working monument" standard.

The VF was not totally destroyed (hard to do that with a club) and I can imagine Britai returning it sometime after the big battle. But I can't understand why the wreck would be preserved and not dumped to space. Or do they just routinely preserve their own wrecks to cannibalize them for parts, so they applied normal procedure?

It's fiberglass/plastic, not a real plane.

Audio volume compression/normalization, please. Soft-speaking/mumbling -> LOUD LAUGH/SINGING, not fun. Compression on Audacity, please.

Otherwise, good fun and informative!
