Kite Class Escorts are an imperial fleet vessel found in the 107th Fleet where they serve. They are partially streamlined cylinders for gas giant refueling if need be, with scoops and refineries. The hull has extremely dense armor plating, a heavy nuclear damper and heavy meson screens. This escort features a massive fusion power plant, for their size, to allow it to power a model 9 fib computer, and 28 triple beam laser turrets organized into five batteries. They also carry a marine platoon for security and boarding actions. They have a 50 ton Cutter, to support marine operations. Naval critics claim that this class was developed for a noble born son of the sector duke. An academy disappointment, this low ranking naval officer, heir and idiot, was granted a line commission. He was given command of a ship with amazing defense, extremely rugged and hard to destroy. Kept small enough to escape notice and yet so lightly armed. It is claimed that these ships have never destroyed an enemy vessel on purpose. Additional copies were made, just so it would not look too suspicious to the emperor's naval inspector general and imperial comptrollers.
