• It is a military ship and a Corvette.

Description (Specifications)

Polaris class Corvettes were designed for service with the Bain Defense Squadron, the space force of Bain, a world lying in Spica Sector and a member of the Solomani Confederation. The design is a lightly armored, streamlined cone structure. It is fitted with both fuel scoops and a purification plant to enable wilderness refueling. The vessel is fitted with a single triple laser turret, giving it a reasonable all-round capability. The energy requirements of the weapons systems and the large computer limits the vessel's agility. The vessel is a TL-10 design.

History & Background (Dossier)
