The Donald Chick Rebel Starbridge is a Rebellion ship in Escape Velocity Nova. In order to purchase this ship, you must have been reassigned to the intelligence division of the Rebellion and your shareware trial must not have passed 30 days.
"As always, the controversial Starbridge finds service in areas other than its intended use in commerce. The excellent (if expensive) Starbridge design has been adapted to the needs of the Rebellion by Donald Chick, ex-CEO of Sigma Shipyards. It has been decades since Sir Donald has put his hand to a set of hydrospanners, but he has taken his small team of craftsmen and churned out the best variant of the Starbridge yet." ― Buying a Rebel Starbridge
The ubiquitous Starbridge has spawned several variants, not least of which is the Rebel version. The Rebel Starbridge is the Rebel answer to the Federation Patrol Boat, a fast, well-armed multirole starship.
Stats[]
"You've seen other Starbridges before, but this one is the best executed of them all. She has turbo-fans twice the thickness of the best custom model, and high-tech weaponry coming out of her ears. The crew look tired and harried, though; even with ships such as these, they're still doing the work of three times the people required." ― Hiring a Rebel Starbridge

The R.SB.C2 if stripped of all of its weapons has an amazing amount of weapons space (upwards of 150 tons).
Class D (#342)[]

Class E (#343)[]

It's just like the Mod.SB.E but with a 1 day jump, more equipment space and a more salvagable cargo hold.
This is the R.SB with the best statistics overall, but less equipment space than some of its contemporaries.
Gameplay Analysis[]
"Same as the Valkyrie, these ships are deadly. Unlike the Valk, however, these ships prefer to go in for the kill rather than hang back and take out their foes. With as many blasters as they have (and railguns at higher classes), they can definitely finish a battle relatively quickly." ― EVula Survival Guide
With the Rebellion Storyline, you gain access to the Bio-Relay Laser and the Wraith Cannon. These are Polaris weapons that are far superior to most Federation or Auroran technology and it is highly recommended that put these on your Rebel Starbridge if you choose to purchase one.
