The GVA Setekh

Description:

FS2 Tech Room Description

The GVA Setekh is the Vasudan class of AWACS vessels, comparable to the Terran GTA Charybdis class. Setekhs are smaller, less heavily armored, and have half the turrets of Charybdis ships. Despite these shortcomings, the Vasudan navy insists upon deploying Setekhs in Vasudan battle groups, claiming the Vasudan versions are more appropriate for their fleets. Setekhs' crystalline detection arrays provide their fleets with doubled radar range within the nebular region. Every Vasudan battle group operating in this theatre has a wing of Setekhs attached to it.

More or less like the Terran variant, but weaker than the GTA Charybdis. Will blow up if a bomber sneezes on it.

Despite the tech description, the Setekh actually has a "big damage" flag, meaning that it is very difficult to destroy it with fighters. Although the player never has occasion to notice this in the campaign, mission designers should be careful if their mission involves destroying Setekhs!
