GTCv Phobos
|
For the upgraded design used by Special Operations Command, see SOCv Phobos ADv.
The Phobos, named after the biggest of the two moons of Mars (the other moon is Deimos), is an extraordinary corvette with very high anti-warship and anti-spacecraft capabilities. It's pretty expensive, however.

Description:
Inferno R1 Description
Brought into service twenty-eight years ago, the Phobos is still the model of the ideal corvette. An assortment of armaments packed into a well-armored frame let the Phobos go toe-to-toe with other corvettes and even destroyers. They have been instrumental in securing Allied victories during the EA civil war, and pack a huge punch with their light and medium anti-warship beam cannons.
Inferno: Nostos
Produced in response to an Admiralty request for a heavy strike platform, the GTCv Phobos is a bruiser of a corvette. During the NTF Rebellion, the Deimos corvette had generally performed well, but coordinated bomber strikes posed an unacceptable risk to the Deimos's relatively fragile beam emitters, and the variability of the Deimos's 'slash' beams limited its performance against large or numerous enemy warships. To address these weaknesses, the Phobos design team opted to maximize firepower and survivability across the spaceframe. Clad in destroyer-grade active armor and studded with a staggering array of beam weapons, plasma cannons, flak guns, and missile batteries, the Phobos is designed to plunge into enemy formations and decimate enemy cruisers and corvettes. Its sleek configuration allows the Phobos to bring the majority of its firepower to bear on a target from almost any vector. In a first for Terran designs below destroyer classification, the Phobos incorporates its own fighterbay from which it can field three wings of fighters, significantly increasing its tactical flexibility. PATHFINDER integration provides for artillery and antifighter TAG support, and a next-generation destroyer-scale ultracompact fusion reactor powers the entire assembly. The major weakness of the Phobos is its tremendous cost--at two-thirds the price of a Hecate destroyer, the Phobos is, ton for ton, the most expensive warship ever produced by the GTVA. Logistical overhead is also very high, as the many tactical systems reduce the class's onboard supply capacity, rendering it more dependent on supply lines and infrastructure than its older sibling. As a result, Phobos deployment is much slower than most other next-generation spaceframes, and is mostly seen as an element in major fleet actions, with the Deimos remaining a primary line combatant.

Developer Notes
Rework from 2019 comes with fighterbay and was modelled to resemble HTL Deimos as much as possible.
