The Rocinante would partake in the Consolidated Fleet Offensive where it escorted the Giambattista into the slow zone where the OPA ship fired numerous missiles against the station as a decoy whilst a drop team landed on the Ring station surface to capture its railguns. The Roci escaped to Tycho however the high-g maneuvers used to aim the railgun caused Fred Johnson to have a stroke which he did not survive. Using its railgun, torpedoes, and PDCs the Roci managed to destroy one hostile and damage the Pella forcing it to withdraw whilst the third ship had to move away to defend against missiles fired at them from Ceres. The ships engaged at high thrust with the odds against the Roci, however this ship had one major tactical advantage in that it had a keel-mounted railgun.

The external hull was removed and replaced with a completely new one built from scratch. Most of the crew left the station on personal business with only Captain James Holden remaining to oversee the repairs/refit. Its hull had been heavily damaged and the railgun connections to the hull had buckled badly. Upon returning to Tycho Station the Rocinante undergoes a major refit requiring the ship to remain in dock for an extended period of time. “Catching fire” - Spoilers for Nemesis Games follow. It looks like a big chisel with an upside-down coffee cup on the back. Her normal crew complement was over a dozen navy personnel and officers, and on many missions she’d also carry six marines. Under thrust, g-forces then provide a "down" amenable to human orientation. The ship's construction is like a narrow building, layered floor by floor from the drive cone and reactor up to the engineering deck, to the machine shop, then the galley and crew cabins and medical bays, storage deck containing the crew airlock, then on up to the command deck and pilot's farthest forward.
