HTP-class Patrol Vessels are used to defend and protect star systems or other high value real estate.

Wiki Navy.png


Description (Specifications)[edit]

H-class Vessel's are not intended for offensive operations, they instead defend and secure fixed locations, almost always mainworlds and their associated star systems. These missions are considered paramilitary by the dominant thoughts of naval strategists within Charted Space. Patrol and Surveillance ships largely observe space, keeping track of things that are there and watching for things that aren't supposed to be.

  2. A Shivva class Patrol Frigate image from Deck Plans, one of the most common Zhodani Patrol Vessels.

Strategy & Tactics (Doctrine)[edit]

H-class Vessels have two major taskings:

  1. Defensive Warfare (D-Vessels)
  2. System Security (S-Vessels)

They are generally considered secondary naval combatants even when they form the first line of defense against enemy fleets. Their inability to conduct primary naval offensive operations is the strategic reason why they are considered secondary naval combatants.
