The Rhea-class Patrol Frigate
A variant with a fighterbay, the Zephyr from WoD

Description:

Dimensional Eclipse Tech Room Description

Szigard Corporation's 300-meter Rhea class patrol frigate was first introduced late in AR80 as an intrasystem patrol and interdiction craft, designed for short-term operations, and thus lacked any form of gravity block. During the first Exarchy invasion of AR81, Rheas, being one of the Commonwealth's newest classes at the time, were incorporated into the Commonwealth's defensive formations as an anti-fighter picket ship or as a fast torpedo boat with their main missile loadouts changed. Throughout the conflict, Rheas suffered horrendous losses against the Exarchy's Viscount-class cruisers, leading to the decline of Frigate/Destroyer-centric doctrine. While a small number of class-wide refits were issued, the Rhea is still as hopeless outgunned against larger warships as it was forty years ago, though its respectable anti-fighter capabilities means that it will continue to serve as an intrasystem picket.


Wings of Dawn Tech Room Description (UEU Peace Keeper)

Comes with a couple of really lean and mean torpedo launchers that can level any space installation within minutes.

Kind of short on meaningful point defense turrets though and doesn't have a shield generator because upscaling those is apparantly hard to pull off.

Well, I'm no engineer, so I'll just take their word for it. (it could definitely use one though)

Zephyr Tech Room Description

Bought for cheap on an auction but Ju and I patched it up real good. It's a labor of love!

First we removed the top side torpedo launchers and replaced them with hangar bays. Then we made space for a class-6 type-helix plasma shield generator and replaced the subspace drive with a modern one.

Lastly I had a luxerous bath installed, because there is so much space on this ship for just the two of us. It's an old timer, but its equipped with all the comforts a hardworking mercenary needs~
