 The S3 (Sakura) development project began under Acting Mistress [[stararmy:ranks:taisho]] [[character:kessaku_irim]] in late [[calendar:ye_27]] in the wake of the extremely costly [[system:xyainbor]] and [[system:mwigflukbajik]] offensives against the [[faction:mishhuvurthyar:sfrarabla_mishhuvurthyar_xhrafuklurp]]. Irim made the design a "pet project" of hers and the prototype (affectionately named "YSS Swan") was built in [[calendar:ye_28]]. Five test ship followed, serving active duty in the [[stararmy:fleets:first_expeditionary_fleet]]. One of them, [[stararmy:starships:yss_sakura]] (NG-X1-360, captained by [[stararmy:ranks:taisa]] [[character:rufus_sydney]] and later by [[stararmy:ranks:taisa]] [[character:hanako|Ketsurui Hanako]]), would participate in an enormous number of battles and become so famous that after it was lost in combat, a [[stararmy:sakura_museum|museum]] was built to honor her. The S3 (Sakura) development project began under Acting Mistress [[stararmy:ranks:taisho]] [[character:kessaku_irim]] in late [[calendar:ye_27]] in the wake of the extremely costly [[system:xyainbor]] and [[system:mwigflukbajik]] offensives against the [[faction:mishhuvurthyar:sfrarabla_mishhuvurthyar_xhrafuklurp]].

-After the Sakura's destruction, Hanako sought an improved version of the ship that had served her so well. [[faction:yamatai:ketsurui_fleet_yards]] constructed the first of the new class, [[stararmy:starships:yss_plumeria]] (NG-X1-390), in late [[calendar:ye_29]] and Hanako used it to execute a daring and risky attack on the [[faction:mishhuvurthyar:sfrarabla_mishhuvurthyar_xhrafuklurp]] headquarters. The design is well-liked within the [[stararmy:star_army_of_yamatai]]; production of the [[..:sakura_gunship]] for the [[stararmy:fleets:first_expeditionary_fleet]] was halted in favor of the Plumeria series. By the end of [[calendar:ye 30]], most //Sakura// had been disassembled and rebuilt as //Plumeria//; at that time, the Plumeria-class also saw a surge in new production as the Star Army added several new fleets to the [[stararmy:star_army_of_yamatai|roster]].+After the Sakura's destruction, Hanako sought an improved version of the ship that had served her so well.

 By mid [[calendar:YE 31]], the [[stararmy:history:second_mishhuvurthyar_war]] was in full swing and starships were in short supply. Plumeria Gunships, now performing a wide range of missions, were upgraded to be more versitile and more heavily armed through addition of new systems, new engines, and external turrets. By mid [[calendar:YE 31]], the [[stararmy:history:second_mishhuvurthyar_war]] was in full swing and starships were in short supply.

-Most of the Plumeria's storage area is used for repair supplies and non-perishable foodstuffs. Crew members should note that the cargo bay is not a personal storage (or sparring) area; while much more roomy the the cargo area of the [[..:sakura_gunship]], its capacity is still fairly limited and is thus reserved for storage of mission-essential equipment and supplies. The cargo area has white padded walls and a metal floor with plenty of tie-down points. Some parts of the floor have strips of rollers so that crates can be moved easily up and down the length of the bay.+Most of the Plumeria's storage area is used for repair supplies and non-perishable foodstuffs.
