The River class Sloop is a light warship.
- It is a military ship and a Sloop.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
Among the Ship Classes of the Royal Caledonian Navy the "Sloop" is the Caledonian term for a light escort ship. It's analogous to a Patrol Frigate, Escort Cruiser or Escort in other navies. This class was originally built to TL-11 but was eventually retrofitted and upgraded to TL-12 standards. They are slower than most warships, but more heavily armed than most buccaneer ships. They also feature high endurance; they are designed to remain on station in a zone for eight or more weeks, patrolling for pirates, Reavers or other bandits. It carries enough fuel for a Jump-2 and an additional Jump-1 without refueling to extend its time on station or its operational range, as needed. 212 River class sloops are still on front-line service.
Equipped with ten triple turrets: four triple missile turrets grouped into a single battery, a dual fusion gun turret, four triple beam laser turrets, and a triple sand caster turret. The conical hull is thickly armored with a vast cargo bay for supplies which facilitate extended patrols. They can carry two sections of Royal Caledonian Marines with a sniper team. The unit can drop capsule insert and recover with the launch or their G-carrier.
