The '''{{i|Berezka}}''' (Japanese: '''ベリョースカ号''') was a [[Dominion of Fezzan|Fezzani]] merchant ship owned by Fezzani merchant [[Boris Konev]], and was apparently managed by [[Marinesk]] during times of his absence. During the Imperial occupation of Fezzan on December 798, [[Julian Mintz]] and [[Louis Mashengo]], along with the Alliance Commissioner in Fezzan, hired Marinesk to smuggle them out of occupied Fezzan. Marinesk led them to the ''Berezka'' captained by [[Kahle Willock]], who was substituting Boris Konev temporarily as the latter was serving as the assistant for the Fezzani Commissioner in the [[Free Planets Alliance]] at that time, and Julian's party successfully departed Fezzan undetected. However, while they were en route to [[Heinessen]], the ''Berezka'' was detected by an Imperial patrol. To avoid capture, Julian orchestrated a scheme which convinced the patrol that the ''Berezka'' was hijacked but had only just managed to restore order. As the [[Hameln IV|destroyer executing the patrol]] docks with the ''Berezka'' to confirm the situation, Julian's party ambushed the destroyer's crew and successfully captured the destroyer. However, to maintain the hijack ruse, they are forced to destroy the ''Berezka'' with the destroyer and continued their journey on board it instead. ({{logh|044|047}})
