As the dust settled following the Warpath conflict of YC128, many smaller holdings on the fringes of the Amarr Empire fell into chaos. The constant onslaughts of Minmatar Republic strike teams had left these communities exposed to pirate attacks and vulnerable to internal revolt. Local holders sought a means to reimpose control while relying on their own fleets, which unlike the Imperial Navy, were largely made up of small and medium-sized ships.

They needed a way to improve the operational efficiency of these fleets while also demonstrating the awesome power of the Empire that backs them. Carthum Conglomerate’s solution to this problem was the Salvation. An advanced support carrier with robust command burst functions, it was capable of elevating a group of lesser vessels into an unstoppable armada.
