History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Ten in service. Designed and built at Urcor for the Worlds of The Leader. These ships operate within the Far Home Sector. There are currently ten of these vessels in service with the Glorious Leader's Benevolent Patrol Flotilla. The Sang-O Class Patrol Ship is a class ships used primarily for merchant escort, picket duty and commerce blockade enforcement.

The Sang-O class are in use by the Leader, and are one of the larger and more numerous indigenously-built vessels. A single vessel was captured by the enemy after it misjumped during an infiltration incident.

It was widely reported that a new version of the Sang-O class had been deployed. Satellite imagery suggests the Sang-O may have been produced at the Urcor commercial shipyards and fitted out at the orbital dry docks.

Other footage of the nearby docks appear to depict two completed Sang-O in deep orbit. Subsequent satellite imagery shows three Sang-O deployed to the Military Base at Inselm (world), Far Home 2310 B201454-B.

According to a local journal, the decision to develop a larger, improved version of the Sang-O with the 370 ton displacement and the 40m hull. This came in the wake of increased border incursions by enemy forces.

The increased length and internal volume would suggest an increased in the operational range and troop/equipment carrying capabilities. Top speed is also reported to be higher in the new model, meaning an improved propulsion system is likely using some of the extra length.

Distant Fringe Vessels[edit]

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[edit]

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".
