Tercio de Flanders

A tercio of about 2500-2550 men would have gotten about 17000 escudo's a month. My rough tercio of 2837 has an upkeep of 176, and I was pretty loose in designing it. Assuming 1 Gold = 100 large-value escudo's it fits somewhat

2,591 escudo's to raise, 176 escudo's in pay.

Originally designed as exploration ships in the beginning of space exploration. The Menendez de Aviles class were all retired from active service with the introduction of the Drake class, but some colonies still retain a few of these old and battered ships. In some cases the jump drives of these ships have been stripped or their armament upgraded to be nearly comparable to the Drake; or made into specialized boats. In the ZOCU War several Men. de. Aviles received rush or emergency modernizations; one was the Reale Carlos currently serving in the Outremonde Frontier Squadron. At the time of its modernization Outremonde lacked any medium or heavy railguns to replace its naval rifles with but possessed a abundance of missiles and launchers for a now abandoned project to build several missile-centered cruisers. With the upsetting success of ZOCU Peltasts aganist DSF warships the Reale Carlos was stripped of most of its medium naval rifles for additional VLS AA launchers and a immense number of flak cannons twenty-three in total!
