History & Background (Dossier)
Designed and built at Urcor for the Worlds of The Leader. These ships operate within the Far Home Sector.
There are currently five of these vessels in service with the Glorious Leader's Benevolent Patrol Flotilla. These vessels were superseded by some of the larger patrol vessels to follow this class. One is believed to have been captured by unnamed enemy forces. Four had to be transferred to repay debts owed. One was retired for drive failure. One was lost in a training exercise due to poor maintenance and a catastrophic reactor event. There are not currently enough surviving 8 ton TL–B Inselm Mark Five class Fighters available to equip all vessels in this class.
Despite this service history, the Leader has offered variations of these vessels for export to foreign allies.
Distant Fringe Vessels
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
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".
