The Plokl class Escort is a ship serving with the Zhodani Navy.

Description (Specifications)

It has jump 3 and 5Gs.

History & Background (Dossier)

In the Zhodani Navy this design is used as a basic escort for merchant convoys and auxiliary vessels, most common in Imperial space rather than the Consulate as piracy and smuggling are exceptionally rare in Zhodani space. Used on the frontier for defense against enemy commerce raiders or criminals operating from bases in the Imperium and other “less developed” societies. The Plokl also regulates merchant traffic from outside the Consulate and carries a fairly large troop contingent for boarding other ships or policing thinly-populated areas.
