The Warden class System Monitor is a medium, defensive warship.
- It is a military ship and a Monitor.
- Please also see AAB article: Ships of the Distant Fringe.
- Please also see AAB article: Warships of the Distant Fringe.
Description (Specifications)
They have an armored streamlined needle/wedge hull capable of atmospheric operations and is fitted with fuel scoops for ocean refueling. They offer 6G acceleration, and 4 agility. They mount a pair of model 6 fib computers adjacent to the bridge with back up screens in the event of battle damage. They are fitted to carry drop tanks with an additional 28 days of power plant fuel, so that they can remain on station for an extended time.
There is a large fusion power plant dedicated to providing nimble agility, powerful energy weapons and feeding the computer's power demands. They are armed with 28 large missile bays, the best spinal mounted meson gun available, a particle accelerator bay, ten dual fusion guns, ten triple beam laser turrets, and a repulsor bay The mass of the missile bays resulted in lighter armor than designers originally intended.
The crew consists of 20 command, 164 engineers, 151 gunners, 5 flight, 80 service, and 40 security. They carry a pair of 50 ton cutters for utility and surface interface.

History & Background (Dossier)
The Nexus Warden class System Monitors were designed and are manufactured in the Nexus (Ha 1526) (world) system. They are part of the Nexus Fleet Forces. Three of these monsters serve as flagships for the system defense forces. They are expected to defeat invading battleships on a one for one basis.
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]
