The TC02A Broken Sunrise class Fleet Interceptor is a combatant smallcraft.

• It is a military ship and a Light Fighter.
• Its full designation is the TC02A Broken Sunrise class.

Description (Specifications)

The TC02A Broken Sunrise class Fleet Interceptor class is used by the Trooles Confederation. These are fully streamlined dual environment vehicles. Lifting, variable geometry wings and heavy grav modules make them very maneuverable. They have dog fighting speed and agility. The model 2 computer and the bridge make target acquisition better for missile battery fire. The bridge can not support a fiber optical back up system and larger computers were rejected because of the power drain, which this reactor could not sustain. Fire control is adequate for ground support roles, but this craft is not expected to engage enemy fleet combatants. Power restrictions also lead to the cancellation of a pulse laser installation project. They are very popular with their elite fighter crews.

The vessel has a fully streamlined needle/wedge configuration structure hull. It is fitted with fuel scoops and allowing it to perform wilderness ocean refueling.

History & Background (Dossier)

The TC02A Broken Sunrise class Fleet Interceptor is used to patrol and protect minor fleet combatants. They are deployed aboard vessels from the Trooles Confederation. Examples of the class can be encountered throughout the coreward parts of Theta Borealis Sector.

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), 02 is a combat smallcraft designation, and when it is used 'A' or 'a' refers to the version of the vessel, relating to its construction tech level. Type codes will often repeat: 'Broken Sunrise', often shortened to 'Sunrise', is an easy to remember class name to identify the specific type of vessel.

• Individual vessels are generally named by their pilots.
