History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
It is tanker dependent for longer range fleet maneuvers. They can deliver an offensive punch on par with the heavy cruiser, which is capable of crippling enemy capital ships and disabling major enemy fleet elements. However, they lack the defensive suite to survive a lengthy slug fest. They must shoot and scoot, to stay alive, to fight another day. They are also charged with leading flotillas of destroyers on raids against lighter targets. They can carry some cargo to allow longer patrols without resupply.
25 in service. In keeping with the Pador Military Forces fleet's internal security mission, this class was designed with a defensive mindset. Designed and built by Pador after 179 weeks for the prototype and 143 weeks for the production models at huge expense. They are half the size of their big brothers the Gridlow class Heavy Cruisers. Built to support the ships of the line for combat duty in the Far Home Sector, capable of conducting patrol cruises in the Distant Fringe.
Distant Fringe Vessels[edit]
The Distant Fringe is said to be a far spinward-rimward area inhabited by colonists and refugees originating on Terra. The region is extremely isolated, separated from the rest of Charted Space by vast, almost uncrossable rifts that were once broached by a system of calibration Points and the use of tankers. Those few academics within Charted Space who have found references to the Distant Fringe regard it as little more than a tall tale. Likewise, many of the inhabitants of the Distant Fringe believe the existence of Charted Space to be mythical.[3]
Vessels originating within the Distant Fringe are very rarely encountered outside of the region. However, misjumps do occur and anomalies with bizarre spacetime and Jumpspace effects exist: as such, craft of this type are not entirely unknown within Charted Space.[4]
Class Naming Practice/s & Peculiarities[edit]
Each vessel within the class is named by the government of the state that produces it. They generally draw on traditional naming protocols and it is not uncommon for a historical class name to be reused.
- Individual vessels within the class are issued specific serial numbers and transponder codes.
- Naming a ship is considered a serious affair and is generally accompanied by a traditional ceremony, usually pouring a local beverage over the bows of the craft. Starfarers tend to be superstitious folk and a ship with a frivolous name is considered "unlucky".
