Reclamation Rocket Vessels launch from one the Arkship's upper launch bays. Once a crowded bay full of fighters during the chaos of war, now are manned with just enough crew to send out reclamation Longships. These launches are hopeful events. First, ships are lowered onto the launch column and pilots prepped for launch. Pilots coat themselves in the cooling fluid, which adheres to their gear and is flame retardant. Its standard procedure to coat the launch vessel with a similiar material, thats has a chrome like appearance, the flakes off after flight. It is also the pilots makeshift form of a good luck blessing-during the launch process. Once the launch bar doors slide upward, the ship is angled into launch position. Rockets are fired to exit the bay the blast absorbed in the launch pool below.
