DESCRIPTION​

Recently developed in the design rooms linked to the Christophsis driveyards, the Thorne's Endeavour line of starships was begun as a project to ensure that the ISC Navy would, eventually, no longer need to rely on exports to supply it's own ships. Named after the first president of the ISC, the TE line of ships covers everything from Cruisers to Starfighters and everything in between. Currently developed and produced exclusively by the shipyards above Christophsis, this will be expanded to other ISC shipyards as they become available.

The second creation specifically for the ISC Navy, the TE-2 was designed to be a partner to the TE-1 as well as a capable warship in it's own right. On it's own, the reduced weaponry makes the TE-2 less potent in a fighter than it's predecessor but it makes up for it by packing in a slightly over-sized fighter complement for it's category as a cruiser. Because of this, room was taken back from the power and cargo holds to enable the use of four separate hanger bays, each slightly smaller than average but equally out at roughly twice the size usually seen on a cruiser it's size.

Slightly cheaper to make than the TE-1 because of the reduction in firepower and power needed for the ship itself, the TE-2 is expected to be seen in service more often than the TE-1. Of course, some of this cost will be pushed onto the cost of fighters to fill the hanger bays but this was deemed an acceptable cost.

Typical of many ISC ships and the principles behind them again, the TE-2 Carrier/Destroyer is designed to be crewed by a mixture of both organic and droid crew-members. Overall command of the ship and its weapons systems are controlled by organics, while navigation and engineering see an increased number of droid crew-members.

LEGALITY​

Restricted. TE-2 Carrier/Destroyers 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.

INTENT​

Intent is to bring in a ship made by the shipyards created by the ISC around Christophsis in order to start making ships of their own and no longer need to focus so heavily on imported ships.

RESTRICTIONS​

Yes. TE-2 Carrier/Destroyers are large capital ships, therefore these that cannot be owned or operated by individual characters. A faction would be required to obtain and crew a ship of this size. Produced by and for the ISC alone, this would be faction-specific tech.
