The Carnelian Storm is the flagship of Commodore Eric Lance, a veteran of the Rebellion who made a moderately large fortune as a privateer. The Carnelian Storm is the flagship of Commodore Lance's fifteen capital ship flotilla, and is unmistakable, largely covered with a bright crimson layer of paint. Together with the rest of that fleet, the Carnelian Storm is currently stationed in the Yaeger Sector, with a roving commission under Admiral McCrain.

Lance confiscated this ship from a trading corporation that had been carrying processed ore to Imperial construction plants, and began work on the cargo-hauler almost right away. The ore chutes seemed natural as fighter slings, and the Carnelian Storm Carrier was born. At first, the only fighters that the then Captain Lance was able to get were a few Y-Wings, some souped up Renegade Special Issues, and a pair of Heros, in nearly flawless condition.

Since then, he has improved his fighter complement, both by pulling strings at New Republic Central Command, and by personal purchase of the now available X-Wings. Eric managed to get his hands on the pair of Destroying Angels through his contacts at RPD, and he and his wingman have put them through their paces, flying them into some remarkably heated battles against Imperial ships, the occasional Yaeger pirate, and several varieties of alien fighters, as his fleet has recently been fighting a running series of battles against the Chakh Empire.

Commodore Lance has some plans to further improve on the Carnelian Storm, but he hopes to get an Opal II battlecruiser as a new flagship,if the Yaeger/New Republic Combined fleet ever becomes a reality.
