DESCRIPTION
The Longsword-class frigate is a heavily armed warship designed on commission by Galentro Heavy Shipworks for the Sith Empire. The ship was commissioned by entities within the Empire to deploy and bolster the strength of the Sith Navy in response to the growing threats budding throughout the galaxy. Mandalorian revolutionaries, the emergence of the Rebellion in the form of the Galactic Alliance, and the continued resistance of the Imperial Republica all pose significant threats prompting the creation of additional ships for the fleets of the Empire. Galentro Heavy Works was contracted as the manufacturer of this model in order to not overburden the already-busy Imperial Shipyards.The Longsword-class is a heavily armed frigate designed with combat in mind. These frigates are intended to act as command ships for entire battle groups throughout the fleet, or as heavy support escorts for the few larger cruisers in service within the Imperial fleet. They are designed for ship-to-ship combat, to issue forth as much damage as possible as quickly as possible. Enemies of the Longsword had best be wary.
LEGALITY
Restricted. Longsword-class frigates are common enough, but are considered capital warships, generally making them illegal for civilian ownership. Almost all extant examples are also property of the Sith Empire.INTENT
To create a new class of warship for use in the Imperial navy in response to the growing threats rising across the galaxy.ADVANCED TECH
Yes. Longsword-class frigates are not trivial to buy, steal or otherwise acquire, and it would take a plot to do so.
