== Description ([[Specifications]]) ==

The Fast Escort is a historical design produced in the [[Terran Confederation]] during the early 22nd century. These ships fled the [[Destruction of Terra]] at the hands of the [[Vilani Imperium]] in 2147AD, forming the fighting core of the [[Last Armada]] and carrying with them the last remnants of Terran culture and independence. The class were extremely sturdy and reliable and endured more than a century of spaceflight. They ultimately found and settled the [[Demon Cluster]], the [[Distant Fringe]]. The vessel is constructed as a [[Long-Range Pattern Starships|long-range]] design and has [[X-Range Starships|extended range]] capability.

The Last Armada class Fast Escort is a light warship.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

The Fast Escort is a historical design produced in the Terran Confederation during the early 22nd century. These ships fled the Destruction of Terra at the hands of the Vilani Imperium in 2147AD, forming the fighting core of the Last Armada and carrying with them the last remnants of Terran culture and independence. The class were extremely sturdy and reliable and endured more than a century of spaceflight. They ultimately found and settled the Demon Cluster, the Distant Fringe. The vessel is constructed as a long-range design and has extended range capability.

  • The vessel is a TL-11 design.
