DESCRIPTION​

The 891E Akorec strike frigate is a capital ship developed and built by the Scillal Designs corporation for the Centrality government. Meant to replace a number of obsolete pre-Clone Wars corvettes and frigates operated by the Centrality Navy, the type started life as the 891A variant, which came into service at the tail end of the Clone Wars, with successive modernization and refit programs resulting in the B, C, D and now E variants, E being the most up to date. All versions are essentially the same in capability, with qualitative refinements in equipment and ergonomics being the main differences. The type is named for the Akorec, a huge, vicious reptilian predator native to Trammis III.

The Akorec is essentially a fast attack ship, long and slender, with a powerful drive unit making it capable of speeds up to 60 MGLT. Armament consists of 6 light turbolasers arrayed in the bow, giving it concentrated frontal firepower to break through the shields of enemy vessels while driving straight at them. Defense from starfighters and other small craft takes the form of 6 quad laser turrets scattered across the hull, and additional offensive weapons include a quartet of proton torpedo launchers, 2 forward and 2 aft. The ship can carry 2 starfighters, as well as a single shuttle, the former primarily used to escort the latter. The ship has a crew of 205, and can carry as many as 700 passengers, with consumables sufficient for up to 4 months, a necessity in the vast, empty expanses between systems in the Centrality.

The Akorec is primarily used by the Centrality Navy as a long-range patrol and interdiction vessel, hunting the Outer Rim pirates and other criminals which haunt the abundant wilderness of the region. In conventional fleet battles, they are primarily meant to act as scouts, pickets and skirmishers, reconnoitering the enemy and picking off their opposite numbers. Though an aging design, they are considered to be more than decent in this capacity, and have found some success on the export market, especially the latest E variant, which is considered a serious step up in terms of crew comfort and amenities.
