After Captain Jack Romanoff is forcibly retired by the corrupt Navy, his retired father pulls strings to put him in charge of the last remaining Hunter: the ''Delta Orionis''. Unfortunately, the once-magnificent ship has been stripped of parts and its budget for maintenance has been embezzled. Determined not to be put in charge of a pointless command, he soon finds himself up against a massive criminal conspiracy in the Navy and a possibility that no one wants to admit: the Locusts are back.

''The Last Hunter'' is a SpaceOpera series by JN Chaney and Terry Mixon.
It's been two centuries since the Confederation defeated the Locust Drone armies. The ''Hunter''-class battleships have all been mothballed since then. The ships are supposed to be maintained for the possibility of the Locust armies returning, though.

* RagnarokProofing: The ''Hunter''-class is easily more powerful than any of the modern ships due to the fact they're mile long ultra-thick hulled dreadnoughts that are able to tank most of the Drones abilities. They also would have been still functional 200 years later if maintained properly.
