The ''Kodan'' class [[Escort|Corvette]] was commissioned specifically for the [[146th Fleet]], in the [[Oreo Subsector]] of [[Massilia Sector]], but also sees service in other Fleets across the [[Domain of Sylea]] and beyond. It was designed with a great deal of input from the former [[Duke]] of [[Oreo Subsector]], an enthusiastic student of naval architecture.

The ''Kodan'' class [[Escort|Corvette]] sees service in Fleets across the [[Domain of Sylea]] and beyond. It was designed to be produced in shipyards across the [[Domain]] and was intended for general [[Third Imperium|Imperial]] service, and as such it bore no particular cultural or political influences within its architecture. However, it was designated for service with the [[146th Fleet]] stationed in [[Oreo Subsector]], and consequently the eccentric but influential [[146th Fleet#The 14th Duke|14th Duke]] of [[Oreo Subsector|Oreo]] became involved in the project.

When the [[146th Fleet#Oreo Worlds|Oreo Worlds]], the proto-[[polity]] they controlled, was absorbed into the expanding [[Third Imperium]] they gained a privilege known as the "[[146th Fleet#The Oreo Settlement|Oreo Settlement]]". This mandated that any vessels that were to serve with the [[146th Fleet]] – the designation given to the former [[146th Fleet#Oreo Worlds|Oreo Worlds]] flotilla and considered by the [[146th Fleet#The 14th Duke|14th Duke]] to be his "personal Fleet" – must be locally designed and manufactured. The privilege had been granted by [[Cleon I]] himself and the [[Duke]] insisted that it must be honored.

Starships are designed with the Classic Traveller format, using High Guard Shipyard v1.13 written by Andrea Vallance.

The Kodan class Corvette is a warship.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

The ship carries the mandated Alfred Class Gunboat. A noble decided that every ship in the fleet should carry one of these 90 ton Gunboats. The ship has scoops, but no fuel purification. Its partially streamlined close configuration hull is not armored. It is capable of gas giant refueling. The ship has 6-G acceleration, but only 2-Agility, and is rated for Jump-4 range, to keep up with imperial fleets. It carries seven turrets; a pair of triple missile turrets, a dual fusion gun turret, two triple beam laser turrets, a particle accelerator turret and a triple sand caster turret is its only defensive counter measure.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

The Kodan class Corvette sees service in Fleets across the Domain of Sylea and beyond. It was designed to be produced in shipyards across the Domain and was intended for general Imperial service, and as such it bore no particular cultural or political influences within its architecture. However, it was designated for service with the 146th Fleet stationed in Oreo Subsector, and consequently the eccentric but influential 14th Duke of Oreo became involved in the project.

The 14th Duke was a direct descendant of the aristocratic Halls families, the pre-Imperial rulers of Oreo Subsector. When the Oreo Worlds, the proto-polity they controlled, was absorbed into the expanding Third Imperium they gained a privilege known as the "Oreo Settlement". This mandated that any vessels that were to serve with the 146th Fleet – the designation given to the former Oreo Worlds flotilla and considered by the 14th Duke to be his "personal Fleet" – must be locally designed and manufactured. The privilege had been granted by Cleon I himself and the Duke insisted that it must be honored.

The demand was utterly impractical and strategically suicidal, and the Navy resisted the proposal, eventually resulting in the direct intervention of the Archduke of the Domain. She ruled that all vessels of the Kodan class, no matter where they served, were to carry an Alfred class Gunboat, a small combat craft that was the personal design of the 14th Duke himself. The Alfred was a capable vessel and all parties found the resolution acceptable. The current Duke has maintained his father's policy and as a result many classes of warship operating within the Domain carry at least one Alfred. Some naval officers resent the ongoing Noble influence on naval architecture: others see the broader political benefits that such indulgences can bring.

Oreo Pattern Hulls[edit]

"Oreo Pattern" hulls are a naval design feature that grew out of the "Oreo Settlement", and which was initially implemented in Oreo Subsector of Massilia Sector for economic reasons following the Civil War. Fundamentally, it is the process of creating hybrid technology ships. Unarmored hulls are locally built at lower tech levels, transported aboard commercial vessels, and fitted out as TL-15 warships at the more advanced shipyards in the region. "Oreo Pattern" starships have proven just as capable as their counterparts originating in other regions of the Imperium and it is now an accepted quirk of warships originating within the Domain of Sylea.
