For the most part, this looks good. A couple of comments, though ...
While I'm not wedded to the idea of Noah Scott's private yacht being the first purpose-built Fenship, it is described on the wiki that way: "One of the earlier Fenships and possibly the earliest purpose-built Fenship, the Epsilon Blade is one of the few privately-owned armed ships in Fenspace." It also has a launch date of 21 March 2008. Of course, nobody was keeping records at the time, so both ships can be believed to be first with no straining of credulity.
Named Sailors are a big thing with the Senshi - it's their highest honour. It also has a few requirements: "Named Senshi are the ones that have proven themselves to be exemplars of the ideals of the Crystal Millennium. Being compassionate, swift and sure in battle, and attractive are usually good indicators of potential to become a Named Senshi." From what we've seen in the Freddy's story, Barbara is definitely compassionate, and probably meets the other requirements as well. Why not give her the title? (There is the caveat that "there is only one Named Senshi for any given installation or celestial body", but consider just how many asteroids and stations there are in Fenspace.) Of course, she'll gain a reputation boost from the title - that might be something she wouldn't want as a Troubleshooter.
