The Shamshir class Destroyer Escort is a light warship.

• It is a military ship and a Destroyer.
• It is a venerated machine from another age, rarely seen within Charted Space anymore.

Description (Specifications)

The Shamshir is a typical Vilani destroyer escort. It relies on its size and speed to protect its charges, running alongside while looking for hostiles that might be trying to make flanking attacks. Its lack of capital-ship weaponry is not a drawback in this role, as it is able to shoot at many targets at once. Terran forces have often managed to lure a Shamshir into an unequal engagement, drawing one away from the main fleet. Without any support from the main guns of other ships, this vessel is easily destroyed.
