(updated design)
Corvette EB-KS64 Fer-de-lance MCr640.6
Owner: Imperial
During the height of the Third Frontier War (979 to 986), high losses in civilian shipping and among transport vessels impressed into Imperial service resulted in the issuance of an Admiralty specification for a mid-sized escort vessel expressly for close protection of unarmed transport craft. The design which was finally accepted was the Fer-de-lance class destroyer escort.
Performance characteristics for this class make it capable of staying with most Imperial fleets (jump-4, 6-G acceleration), and thus this type of vessel can be found escorting most squadrons as well as more typical convoys.
The 1,000-ton hull is equipped with the Gayle Field type 04 jump drive, the 4x68[o] Ganged Forelle field generator maneuver drive, and the Torgee PL j/60 power plant, and is capable of Jump-4 and 6G acceleration. Fuel tankage supports a 4 parsec jump, at 90t per parsec, and one month of operations. Attached to the bridge is a Computer Model/7 fib. It has two modular cutters. There are four officer staterooms, six spacer niches, and no low berths. Installed weaponry include 2 Bay Salvo Racks, 1 B2 Sandcaster, 6 B2 Beam Lasers, and 1 B1 CommCaster. The ship does not have cargo space. The ship has a streamlined hull, with scoops for frontier refueling.
The ship requires a crew of 10: three pilots (one for the cutter), two astrogators, four engineers, five gunners, and one medic. Barracks support gunners and a full platoon of troops.
Actual volume: 996.5 tons
Crew comfort: +0
Passenger demand: -5
