Wow, I just found out that in canon somewhere the Taurian Concordant owns a WarShip. A Vincent Mk 42 Corvette. Wow. Thats just awesome.

This is in post-Succession War times?
Still, I'm not sure I'd call it "awesome." Most Star League WarShips seem to pack a few hundred thousand tons more cargo than makes sense. There are DropShips with more armor and firepower than the Vincent.

What do you think about the Blue Star Irregulars having their own warship?

Well.... 
The way they got it was *somewhat* realistic... but still, like they'd really have the people to crew it, or the ability to maintain it.

Or the shipyard to repair it after getting owned by that Fox over Tharkad.
And how did they get it? I never knew.

Hey, the Blue Stars are no worse than the Dragoons. Yup, we had Warships that we mothballed. Yup, all our dependents were slaughtered several times over. Yup, we were totally slaughtered in combat several times. And yet they claim to have experts on Clan tech and Warships? Cough! Munchkins! Die! Die! Die!

The Taurians probably got it by sending in enough cerial box-tops. Seems thats how you get WarShips, sometimes.

They were on a contract, they needed Aerospace help, they subcontracted Hell's Black Aces, HBA took out a DS and the WS. The Blue Star's awarded HBA the DS as thanks for their service, and kept the WS.
I think thats about how it went in their FM Mercs brief.

Actually is splatters the first time just about anything gives it a broadside. Some AssaultBoats would hole its armor in a pass or two rather easily.

Basically Hells Aces got a carrier dropship with lots of room, and Blue star Irregulars got a blockade runner, that should avoid any real warship fight.
I somehow get images of Rebels fleeing a Star Destroyer and a heavy breathing guy in black armor and a Princess.

| This would explain the BlueStar's warship's poor performance in the fedcom civil war. If I recall, their warship was added to the armada fleet that was trying to break through past two Lyran warships to get to a planet(Tharkad?) or something like that. Don't remember much about it. *Starts looking through novels to find out which one it was in then gives up because too lazy*

Endgame is the one you're looking for. The Blue Star's Fredasa got hammered by a Fox, presumably the Katrina Steiner. Of course, shortly thereafter the Fox had her own trouble with that McKenna.
