Description (Specifications)
The conical hull is lightly armored with a vast cargo bay for supplies which facilitate extended patrols. They are usually built to TL-11 standards (...although often refitted with TL–12 armament); they are slower than most warships, but more heavily armed than most buccaneer ships. They also feature high endurance; they are designed to remain on station in a zone for eight or more weeks, patrolling for pirates, reavers or other bandits. It carries bigger drives as a bigger, improved Flower class with enough fuel for a Jump-3.
- Equipped with twelve triple turrets: four triple missile turrets grouped into a single battery, a pair of dual fusion gun turrets, four triple beam laser turrets, and two triple sand caster turrets.
- They can carry two sections of Royal Caledonian Marines with a sniper team. The unit can drop capsule insert and recover with the launch or their G-carrier.
