Lexington

[Hobbie]

I just finished Fleet Action. I read that in the Battle of Earth (or in the Battle of Sirius, can't remember which) the Lexington succumbed to internal fires. Is this the same Lexington that we fly on in WC IV? Or was another ship built? Also, did Blair ever serve on the Tarawa?

 

[Earthworm]

Yes, it's the same ship, obviously after a heavy overhaul.

And yes, Blair served on the Tarawa.

 

[Bandit LOAF]

Yes, same Lexington -- she was recommissioned after the war (in the interim, a second Lexington existed (Armada)).

Blair *did* serve onboard the Tarawa, but we're not exactly sure when (possibly during End Run -- probably not).

 

[Fenris]

Where is it said that Blair was on the Tarawa?

 

[Bandit LOAF]

In the WC3 novel, he mentions having served with Kevin Tolwyn onboard the Tarawa, and then Jason Bondarevsky mentions having served with Blair at New Syndey.

This is one of those times when a sly comment on the side made things more confusing.
