General Description

The Perx class is a scout vessel deployed by the Trooles Confederation. Examples of the class can be encountered throughout the coreward parts of Theta Borealis Sector and occasionally within the rimward subsectors of Astron Sector. The vessel has a partially streamlined close structure hull and is fitted with fuel scoops and a fuel purification plant, allowing it to perform wilderness gas giant or hydrosphere refueling. The class has enough internal fuel for two consecutive Jump-2s and are delivered with addition Jump-2 drop tanks for extended range operations. Its performance (2-G and J-2) is considered substandard.

It carries a subcraft and a ship's vehicle for interface duties. It carries several sentry drones that are deployed as required.

History & Background

The TC3 Perx class Scout is a fleet scout class deployed by the Trooles Confederation. Examples of the class can be encountered throughout the coreward parts of Theta Borealis Sector.

Class Naming Practice/s & Peculiarities

Vessel Peculiarities:
The class carries very light armament and a military defensive suite. Their weapon fit out is unusual and some fleet level discussion has been studying other options. This configuration works for attacking defenseless civilian shipping that belongs to enemies of the state, and scoring the maximum number of hits per unit time. These low intensity missile barrages can cope with swarms of light fighters or disable several smaller commercial vessels. They are not intended to destroy large vessels.

Class Naming Practice/s:
Vessels of the Trooles Confederation are given alphanumeric designations and callsigns by other interstellar states. TC refers to Trooles Confederation (a designation applied to all Confederation combat units), 3 is a multiple of hundreds of tons of displacement and also indicates at a glance the number of weapons mounts, and when it is used 'b' refers to the version of the vessel, relating to its construction tech level and bracketing its maximum jump potential. Type codes will often repeat: 'Perx' is an easy to remember class name to identify the specific type of vessel.

• Individual vessels are named by a committee using an authorized list.
