Shrike-Class Corvette



Manufacturer:

• Morellian Weapons Conglomerate, prototype plans stolen from CEC (ooc. in the works, want to get ship approved while I find the players, etc.)

Product Line:

• Prototype

Class:

• Corvette

Length:

• 135 meters

Width:

• 40 meters on standard fuselage, 90 meters at extremity of foils

Height:

• 38 meters

Shielding:

• 
  
  
  • Military Grade
  • Advanced reactive hull-plating and reinforced viewports

Armament:

• 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.

Docking Bay:

• Small docking bay located on the underside: enough space for 2 starfighters or <3> interceptors, can be quick-retrofitted into troop transport hold.

• 3000 tons

Role:

• Corvette
• Light Escort
• Transport

Purpose:

• Defensible and fast transport for high priority delegates, trustees, noblepersons, and statespersons.

Description:

• 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.

(ooc. First tech post, be gentle. Honestly I just took the blockade runner, made a fancy engine name, gave it more/less the same specs and a little bit of a speed boost.)

I have to say, for your first write-up, this is quite nice. Clean up the formatting a bit IMHO, and maybe divulge on the capability of the weapons. What kind of turbolasers are they?

 

[ItsUhTrap42]

I believe I have made all necessary corrections. :)

 

[Commissar Brett]

Could you expand on the "advanced reactive hull-plating"? In what way is it reactive, and what principles does it follow to reduce damage? In what way does it improve survivability, and by how much? In what way is it advanced compared to other reactive armours?

 

[ItsUhTrap42]

Sure thing, I'll get right on it

 

[ItsUhTrap42]

It is explained as best I can.

Weapons seem a tad on the numerous side. You could reduce the turbolasers by a couple since you've got a big ol' mass driver. I don't really mind if you don't though. That being said, I'll approve this once the Indie faction is approved, so remind me when that happens.

Can I get a little bumpty bump!?

The faction has been approved. :)
