| Three of the five starships launched are given in clue 1: the IRSS Romulus,
the ship commanded by Admiral Pickhard, and the extragalactic explorer.
Admiral Hut-jaba doesn't command the extragalactic explorer (clue 8) or
the IRSS Romulus (11) and thus commands the fourth starship. The
nucleowaste hauler isn't the IRSS Romulus (9) and isn't commanded by
Admiral Pickhard (4) or Admiral Hut-jaba (6); it is the fifth starship
launched last week. The IRSS Armstrong isn't Admiral Pickhard's (4) or
Admiral Hut-jaba's (6) command, nor is it the nucleowaste hauler (6). The
IRSS Armstrong is the extragalactic explorer. By clue 9, Admiral
Skytrotter commands the IRSS Armstrong. By clue 3, the nucleowaste
hauler isn't the IRSS Jorge Lukas. Since either Admiral Kork or Admiral
Atreyades commands the nucleowaste hauler, it isn't the IRSS Cerberus
(2). The nucleowaste hauler is the IRSS New Philadelphia. Its commander
is Admiral Atreyades (7), with Admiral Kork commanding the IRSS Romulus.
Neither Admiral Kork (7) nor Admiral Hut-jaba (11) commands the spice
trader, so Admiral Pickhard does. The spice trader is the IRSS Cerberus
(5), with the IRSS Jorge Lukas Admiral Hut-jaba's starship. The latter
is a rescue transport, and the IRSS Romulus is a light destroyer (10).
In sum, the five starships joining the Intergalactic Republic's Starfleet
last week are
- IRSS Armstrong, an extragalactic explorer commanded by Admiral Skytrotter
- IRSS Cerberus, a spice trader commanded by Admiral Pickhard
- IRSS Jorge Lukas, a rescue transport commanded by Admiral Hut-jaba
- IRSS New Philadelphia, a nucleowaste hauler commanded by Admiral Atreyades
- IRSS Romulus, a light destroyer commanded by Admiral Kork
