The Nassin class System Defense Boat is a defensive warship.

Description (Specifications)

The TL–9 streamlined needle/wedge structured hulls are equipped with fuel scoops and on board fuel purification for wilderness ocean refueling. They have the the thickest armor reinforcement possible at this technology level. This renders them highly resistant to surface strikes. These craft are renowned for their ability to absorb punishment. Two of these ships can be carried by a Merant class Fleet Tender. They can carry a 2 dton Air/Raft and a 10 ton Launch. They are armed with two 100 ton missile bays. They have a Model-3 fib computer mounted adjacent to the bridge and are capable of 6-G acceleration and have a 5-Agility rating.

History & Background (Dossier)

Designed and built at Lias for the Rimward Federation. These ships operate within the Far Home Sector. There are in service with the Federation Navy and twenty squadrons of 10 are posted at all nine Federation Starports for security and customs duties.

Distant Fringe Vessels

The Distant Fringe is said to be a far spinward-rimward area inhabited by colonists and refugees originating on Terra. The region is extremely isolated, separated from the rest of Charted Space by vast, almost uncrossable rifts that were once broached by a system of calibration Points and the use of tankers. Those few academics within Charted Space who have found references to the Distant Fringe regard it as little more than a tall tale. Likewise, many of the inhabitants of the Distant Fringe believe the existence of Charted Space to be mythical.[3]

Vessels originating within the Distant Fringe are very rarely encountered outside of the region. However, misjumps do occur and anomalies with bizarre spacetime and Jumpspace effects exist: as such, craft of this type are not entirely unknown within Charted Space.[4]
