The Operation Runner (aka Runner or Frontline Runner) is a specialized deployment vessel for Operations.[1] It is manufactured by Frontline Solutions.[2] This capital ship cannot be purchased.

Overview

This is a small capital ship with only 4 landing pads. Once a squad is formed and an Operation scenario is selected, Commanders will be automatically transported from across the galaxy to the Runner before the operation starts.[1] The Runner serves as a squad's entry point to the Operation as well as the respawn and final extraction point.[1]

Squad members who are defeated in an Operation will respawn at the Runner.[1] Their ship will be fully repaired, re-fueled and re-armed before redeploying into the action.[1]

Lore

After the Second Thargoid War there was a rise of criminal activity by coordinated piracy and mercenary groups,[2] Security analysists recommended new tactics to combat the criminal activity.[2] Frontline Solutions wanted to meet the growing demands by expanding security services with "rapid deployment of mercenary strike teams where they are needed, when they are needed."[2]

The CEO of Frontline Solutions, Imogen le Ray, announced the Operation Runner in a press release on 4 June 3312:[2] “Frontline remains at the forefront of transporting combat-ready squads to faction-led military engagements.” “I have negotiated with shareholders to expand our coverage. Mercenaries may now be deployed to counter dangerous criminal activity, with registered combatants lawfully acting on behalf of a hiring faction.” “To avoid relying on an external manufacturer, we are independently constructing our Runners to maintain control of our logistical capabilities.”, le Ray added, “To ensure we meet our initial deployment targets, we’re requesting help for that final push to reach the planned fleet size.”[2]
