The '''NTF ''Boadicea''''' was originally an asteroid in the [[Deneb]] system. During a depot raid, a wing from the [[53rd Hammerheads]] picked up an unusual signal and moved to investigate. Their signal turned out to be this half-breed of a shipyard and a really big rock. Shortly afterwards, the asteroid splintered, revealing its deadly cargo: the [[NTF Iceni|NTF ''Iceni'']], a unique vessel constructed to the plans of the traitorous [[Famous Persons|Admiral Bosch]] within the asteroid. Shortly thereafter, the ''Iceni'' jumped out and was able to escape the Deneb, easily escaping an unusually poor attempt at blockade.

Veteran Comments

Please read the Veteran Comments policy before editing this section.


It's an Iceni with destroyable rocks all over it, not much more to say... has a good amount of Terran Turrets I suppose.


Useless piece of crud... except for that destroyer-level corvette embedded in it


Interestingly, if you play the main campaign the normal way, you will not know the name of this installation unless you target a piece of broken installation or unlock all ships in the Tech Description.


Although destroying the Asteroid 1 subsystem reveals the Iceni inside it, all the other subsystems unique to the asteroid part of itself DO NOT self-destruct with that subsystem's destruction. It doing so in the second mission is all part of the game files. Otherwise, those parts remain there, with some of the asteroid turrets roughly floating away from the ship by several meters.
