''Rule of Man'' class [[Destroyer|Brig]]s were common [[Terra]]n vessels that saw service towards the end of the [[Second Imperium]].

An ancient design common near the end of the second imperium.  Using an 800ton armored streamlined saucer hull, the Rule of Man Brig is a typical small warship used on patrol, military, and anti-corsair missions.  It mounts jump 2 drives and 6 G maneuver drives.  Fuel tankage for 208 ton supports the power plant and allows one jump-2.  Adjacent to the bridge is a model/5 computer.  There are 17 staterooms with double occupancy.  There are eight turrets mounted with fire control. Installed on the hard-points are a triple sand caster in a single battery, three double plasma gun turrets with six firing batteries, and two triple beam laser turrets and two triple missile turrets each grouped into a single battery.  There is an Air Raft and there is a 4 ton hold.  The Brig requires a crew of twenty nine.
