The vessel is the first of its class to be named after a non-Jageran, a gesture of solidarity following Ferveo's alliance with Jagera during the Exordium Crisis. The ship, a Bevakare-class light carrier, was christened by its namesake in accordance with traditional Jageran ceremony.
"Words cannot describe how privileged I feel at being honoured in this manner," Saxon stated, following the christening. "Such a break from Jageran tradition, for a politician from a country as young as Ferveo, on a ship class as symbolic, powerful and downright huge as the Bevakare-class," she said, chuckling gently, "simply defies my belief. All I can say is thank you, one and all, and I am sure that all Fervean people will feel just as honoured by this unprecedented favour as I do."
Bevakare Angela of Jagera also delivered a speech from her eponymous vessel, the JAS Angela, as it received its commission, saying, "It is such a fortuitous circumstance that allows the two ships, Angela and Jennifer Saxon, to sit at anchor side by side in the harbour as resolute as our two allied nations." The Bevakare continued, saying she believed it was a "symbol" of the increasing unity between Ferveo and Jagera.
The FSC Tempest, fresh from its own launch and commission, put in an appearance as well. The vast cruiser fired a seven-gun salute at the end of President Saxon's speech. This was followed by a spectacular overflight by twenty-one f214/c fighters from the Veðrfölnir and Niðhogg.
The Jennifer Saxon will receive its commission in late September, whereupon its first destination will be Ferveo City. Its namesake, however, stayed in Colisin for some time before returning to Ferveo City, with a hungry media in her wake.
