'''The PUV Gilchrist''' is a Heavy Cruiser in the [[Planetary Union Navy]].<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
During [[The Battle of Asteroid X7]] the PUV Gilchrist was first to respond to a distress call from the [[PUV Blackmouth]] which was under attack from [[Purist Nation]] forces. When the Gilchrist arrived, [[Purist Nation|Nation]] marines had taken control of the [[PUV Blackmouth|Blackmouth]], and blasted the Gilchrist with a surprise salvo that nearly crippled the vessel and led to the death of 50 percent of the crew on the Gilchrist. [[Antwone Williams|Captain Williams]] of the PUV Gilchrist made the decision to abandon the [[PUV Blackmouth|Blackmouth]], saving the Gilchrist and what remained of its crew. Soon after, reports filtered out that the [[Purist Nation|Nation]] marines raped and butchered the crew of the [[PUV Blackmouth|Blackmouth]], earning the vessel the nickname “The Rape Ship.”<br />
<br />
==Notable Judgments==<br />
As a result of [[The Battle of Asteroid X7]], several notable judgements were made for crimes committed during the battle.<br />
<br />
*'''[[Antwone Williams]]''' - [[Antwone Williams|Captain Williams]] was charged with and found guilty of three serious crimes that were punishable by death, although [[Antwone Williams|Williams']] action saved his ship and half of his crew. He was initially sentenced by [[Adrienne Boock|Admiral Boock]] to ''Execution by Venting'' but was given an alternative sentencing of serving a two year tour on the ''[[The Crypt|PUV James Keeling]]'' at his existing position which he declined in favor of death.<br />
<br />
*'''[[Travis Ellis]]''' - Charged with the same crimes as Cpt. Williams, [[Travis Ellis|Commander Ellis]] was initially sentenced by [[Adrienne Boock|Admiral Boock]] to ''Execution by Venting''. However, since [[Travis Ellis|Ellis]] accepted the alternative sentencing of serving a two year tour on the ''[[The Crypt|PUV James Keeling]]'' and [[Antwone Williams|Cpt. Williams]] did not, [[Travis Ellis|Ellis]] was promoted on the spot to Captain and Commanding Officer.<br />
<br />
==Key Battles==<br />
*[[The Battle of Asteroid X7]] - occurred on July 15, 2557, when Planetary Union forces met [[Purist Nation|Purist]] forces at Asteroid X7.<br />
