Technically, the Rolling Thunder is only on loan to us from the Ximni. Now we have access to the ship and know what it can do, we can accurately program our simulators. As for taking it on a real mission and into combat… well that will depend on how we are getting on with the Ximni. As they are “neutral” towards us, depending on the political climate we could one day find ourselves fighting against the Rolling Thunder and other ships like her.
