Shrike-Class Corvette
Manufacturer:
Manufacturer:
- Morellian Weapons Conglomerate, prototype plans stolen from CEC (ooc. in the works, want to get ship approved while I find the players, etc.)
- Prototype
- Corvette
- 135 meters
- 40 meters on standard fuselage, 90 meters at extremity of foils
- 38 meters
- 70 MGLT
- Hecta-X Compounded Ion Engine protoype
- Class 1.0 with a backup class 15
- Military Grade
- Advanced reactive hull-plating and reinforced viewports
- 2 dual turbolaser turrets (mounted starboard and port on foils)
- 3 rotating turbolaser turrets (2 bow mounted, 1 aft)
- 2 Mass-driver, 15cm slugthrower cannons developed and innovated by Morellian Weapons Conglomerate to replace two forward turbolasers Capable of penetrating shields, causing high piercing power but low area damage.
- Top-mounted concussion and proton torpedo launcher: Fires concussion missiles, standard proton torpedoes and rockets. An interchangeable loading system allows for mission specific ordinance to be loaded from the munitions rack within the ship.
- Small docking bay located on the underside: enough space for 2 starfighters or <3> interceptors, can be quick-retrofitted into troop transport hold.
- 10 escape pods. 8 located around the docking bay, 2 beneath the bridge
- <55>
- 10
- room for 100-300 passengers depending on whether the cargo hold and/or docking bay has been retrofitted for troop transport.
- 3000 tons
- Corvette
- Light Escort
- Transport
- Defensible and fast transport for high priority delegates, trustees, noblepersons, and statespersons.
- The Shrike Class Corvette was pioneered by the Corellian Engineering Corporation in an effort to combine fast speeds with quick mission-oriented adaptability. The experimental Hecta-X Compound Ion Engine combines the technology of the TIE system reducing the individual Ion engine size but multiplying the propulsion quantity, allowing for optimal power source usage and speed. In an effort to create a vehicle that can cater to formidable needs of multiple mission parameters while still offering luxury and presidential accommodations.
- It is to be designed as a small-to-mid-sized corvette with capable speeds, comparable shielding, and comparable firepower. Faster than average and its modular role make it an asset to any fleet.
- After the specs were stolen from the CEC, the Morellian Weapons Conglomerate performed a few hull upgrades and installed two Mass-Driver cannons to replace two forward mounted turbolaser batteries. Making it a more formidable combat asset and less of an escort ship.
- Morellian Weapons Conglomerate innovated a reactive hull plating where upon damage microprocessors and nano-technology infused in the metal detect a breach in the hull, superconduct the surrounding alloys to patch the breach. While subsequent shots to the same area would render the plating useless, it serves as a faster form of maintaining pressure lock.
