Description (Specifications)

Designed and built at Urcor for the Worlds of The Leader. These ships operate within the Far Home Sector.

The TL–11 hulls have Jump-2 drives and carry enough internal fuel for two range 2 jumps, and carry drop tanks with 28 days of power plant fuel and an additional jump 2 as needed.

There are in service with the Glorious Leader's Benevolent Patrol Flotilla. The Type-21 Class Missile Sloop are one of the longest serving patrol vessels in the Leader's navy. They have a partially streamlined close structure hull equipped with fuel scoops and on board fuel purification for wilderness gas giant refueling.

The leader first received a single unit of this prototype missile sloop as part of only of the first military contracts in the patrol's history. Eventually the Urcor Shipyards built the current version Type 021-class missile sloops at a rate of one boat per year for three more years. Although majority of this class is being transferred to forward outposts, several remain active and these active units are being rearmed with C-101 anti-ship missiles. These sloops are effectively used in swarm missile attacks. This class lead to the development of the larger Osa class Missile Sloops which followed. These are armed with what many consider the superior triple beam laser turret and triple missile turret linked to a dedicated magazine. They have all been retrofitted with the modern model 5 fib computer for excellent fire control. A major advantage of these older sloops is the fuel refineries which spare the crews the risk of misjumps. The hull is unarmored and they don't take punishment well. They do have good operational range for rift operations. The three lasers and the big computer rob the design of its agility. The original M503A maneuver drives are capable of 3G acceleration and are so efficient that maintenance is simple. The design is obviously at least as successful as the newer Osa class and despite its age, these less expensive sloops will have to remain in active service like its cousins. They carry a 9 marine boarding party for security operations and covert snatch and grab black ops. The leader has considered training alien crews, and as a demonstrator to other potential customers, as well as other test and trial purposes.
