History & Background (Dossier)
The Agrippa-class corvette was first designed after the Third Interstellar War (after -2362), in response to growing saber-rattling activity along the Imperial rim. Capable of extremely high acceleration, it was able to get to a trouble spot in minimal time. Its heavy emphasis on beam weapons permitted it to deal out harsh damage at close range, or to act as a missile shield for convoys.
Class Naming Practice/s & Peculiarities
Ships of the Agrippa class were named after famous “wet-navy” officers of the pre-spaceflight era on Terra. The class ship itself was named after Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, possibly the greatest naval commander of the late Roman Republic.
