FCFS Warden (SH-WDN-X100): The Freestar Collective’s Logistical and Defensive Powerhouse

The FCFS Warden is here! As the latest addition to the Freestar Collective Frontier Scouts (FCFS) fleet, the Warden is a vital logistical and defensive support ship, ensuring the fleet can operate deep in the frontier for extended periods while staying protected from threats. Designed by Starhawk Industries, with rumored secret input from Kepler Dynamics, the Warden is a testament to Freestar’s innovative spirit—and a little industrial espionage, perhaps? After all, who doesn’t like playing both sides?

This versatile vessel will also feature in the upcoming Beyond the Frontier - FCFS Fleet Mod, which brings the entire Freestar Scout fleet to Starfield!

The FCFS Warden was developed in response to the United Colonies’ resurrection of the Navigator Corps (UCNC). As the UCNC began deploying its fleet into the frontier, Freestar recognized the need for a ship that could not only support its fleet logistically but also hold its own in a fight.

While Starhawk Industries handled the bulk of the Warden’s design, whispers abound of Kepler Dynamics’ secret collaboration on its advanced systems. Known for outfitting the UCNC, Kepler Dynamics was likely drawn into the project by the promise of a hefty payout—or perhaps a chance to hedge its bets in the growing Freestar-United Colonies rivalry. Who could resist dabbling in both sides of the galactic conflict?

The Warden is a hybrid logistical and defensive vessel, ensuring ships like the Sentinel, Nomad and Beacon can operate far from home while staying protected. Its modular design includes massive cargo bays, repair facilities, resource processing modules, and a comprehensive defensive suite featuring reinforced shielding, point-defense turrets, and anti-missile systems.
