Comments: The Freedonian Condor Class system defense boat is a heavily armed and armored fighting craft, built to give and to tab punishment in combat. The ship is a prime example of the best in systems defense boat design. Ship of this type are often exported to systems friendly to Freedonia and can be found in many rich or powerful systems in the Inverness subsector.
The spacious, luxurious interior of this fighting vessel is the result of a Freedonian government-sponsored survey which showed that crew would operate more effectively on long patrols in comfortable surroundings of this type. The result is more of a yacht than a warship.
Details: Each crew member has a separate, large stateroom. A dining room and lounge occupy almost a third of the upper deck. The central pillar in this area houses fire control for the two batteries to port and starboard (though the turrets there are usually crewed individually by personnel from the ship's troops carried on board), as well as access to the laser turret. It also contains the hatch to the second deck.
The second deck holds extensive communications and detection gear forward, plus staterooms, and then torpedo storage and the airlocks and EVA prep sections. The EVA facilities and the launch house aft are important to the frequent stop and search customs duty often assigned to SDBs.
The lower deck houses fuel scoops and purification plants, the cargo hay, and the missile bay.
