DESCRIPTION
Designed as an update to the Acclamator-class Troopship of the Old Republic, and is somewhat larger than the elder ship as it stands at 800 meters in length. The primary weaponry on this craft was designed to deal with enemy craft: the tractor beams and triple medium laser cannons being for lighter fighter craft while the rest are primarily for larger craft to attempt to distract them from firing upon the various transports and starships held inside, In certain circumstances, the turbolasers on the belly of this craft can fire down at entrenched positions or fortified weapon emplacements to act as light artillery.Internally the craft is like a small fortress, whereas the older craft was more spartan this craft is actually geared somewhat towards comfort. Though there are still bunks they at least are made with softer and more plush materials, to support the user in sleep along with allowing them to feel better rested. The mess hall is supported by automated staff who serve nutritional yet still enjoyable foods, the rec rooms have been expanded to allow occupants to have fun while (unwittingly) assisting in keeping their reflexes sharp through various fast paced games or activities, and there are even a few gyms in order for the troops to keep in peak shape. The engineering crew in the dockyards have extensive tools they are able to use to repair the ships, and with the expanded space from the Acclamator this allows them to have tools that most engineers in other similarly sized craft have. Even though the ship is still a military vessel, many have considered a position on this ship like winning a cruise trip (at least one where you are sent to go kill people on).
Their hulls are built strong, able to withstand not an inconsiderable amount of damage before going down. And with their deflector shielding, along with their redundant systems, they see rather tough customers for any opponent. They are somewhat expensive for their size, as they still are in the early stage of their product life cycle where R&D costs, prototyping, and other beginning of the line costs are still felt. But all of that has resulted in a rather solid frigate, which comes prepackaged with a decent amount of automation and can be turned into a rather effective weapon depending on who is at the helm.
Several design aspects have been implemented in order to make the craft quite reliable, easy to repair, and maneuverable. The armor of the ship is designed in panels so it can be repaired faster than the average starship. The outer hull armor can be removed and replaced with another hull piece, so the craft can go on while the piece itself is repaired. Small, internally mounted stabilizer thrusters have been installed into the craft so it can be agile in combat while also quick to come to a firing vector when required. All of this, combined with the compartmentalized life support systems, ensure a modular ship that can easily have parts swapped out and repaired.
LEGALITY
Restricted. Fyrnock-class Troopship are classified as capital ships under Galactic law, and possess heavy weapons. As such, civilian owners will require extra licensing to operate one legally, and will receive increased scrutiny by authorities. Even then the only legal owners are the Free World's Alliance.INTENT
To create a troopship unique to members of the Free Worlds Alliance.RESTRICTIONS
Fyrnock-class Troopships are large capital ships with heavy weapons, and capital ships cannot be owned or operated by individual characters. This design is also unique to the FWA unless the craft has been stolen.
