Notes

• All Farragut Battle Cruisers appear to share the registration tag of FDN-RD5.
• The Farragut Battle Cruiser cannot be destroyed by reducing its hull to 0%.
• After destroying all of the Faragut's Heat Relays the ship will escape from battle by activating its Frame Shift Drive.
• Routing the Farragut awards the player 150,000 CR.
• Capital Ships have an exclusion zone. Flying too close to a Capital Ship is considered a threat and will make you a target, even if you are friendly. The Capital Ship will often inform you when you are getting close, telling you to back off.
• A Farragut is stationed above Earth in the Sol system, perhaps as a permanent post. It does not maintain an exclusion zone for friendlies.
• Another, the FNS Hawk, is located in the Merope System. Sighted 12/11/16.
