Ferret

I've seen the newest news piece - about the WCSaga Ferret - And have two questions:

1. I've seen it mentioned, several times, that Ferrets flew off the Iason during the Iason Incident - where is it mentioned, and what happened there?

2. The news piece mention the Ferrets flew of the Iason in 2638 - but wasn't the Iason incident in 2629? (2629.105 IIRC)
 
This refers to a different incident -- part of Paladin's backstory, not the attack which marked the first meeting with the Kilrathi. It's detailed in The Confederation Handbook.
 
I believe it's actually supposed to be the same ship -- its history notes say it was commissioned in 2613 and then refitted as a fleet support transport in 2633 (the implication being it was the same ship, recovered and repurposed after 2629 - like the TCS Lexington in WC4).
 
You would think the same of the Lexington -- viva retcon!

(In all seriousness, the Iason incident isn't something we actually see -- it's a few sentences in Claw Marks and Victory Streak... it just *feels* like an event we should have witnessed.)
