The Impervious-class Frigate


Description:

Tech Room Description

The oldest spacefaring class of ships, commissioned in AR01, the Impervious-class frigates were the first warships equipped with the then-new intersystem Transpace jump drive. Over the course of its exceptionally long operational life, it has been retrofitted and re-classified numerous times. While technically destroyer-sized, it now serves as a fire support frigate, as its defenses are incapable of holding up under direct combat. The fact that the Commonwealth did not retire the Impervious class despite horrendous losses has lead many to joke that nothing ever leaves service in the Commonwealth, except as an expanding cloud of debris. Hundreds of Impervious vessels are still in service within the Commonwealth Navy, being surprisingly low-maintanence despite their age.


Blue Planet Tech Room Description (GEFg Purusha)

For a few brief years the Purusha was the pinnacle of post-GTA naval power in Sol. One of the first designs commissioned for the nascent Federation Navy, the Purusha emerged from a defense industry long constrained by economic depression and military collapse - an industry that now had both the means and the mandate to implement radical new doctrine.

By modern standards, the Purusha suffers from her age and status as a firstborn. Lightly armed and armored, she mounts no fighterbay and cannot safely operate alone. But she defined the traits of the modern Federation warship - fast, armed with torpedoes and mass drivers and screened by sophisticated point defenses, built around a gravity drive. While she resembles both of her descendants, her spaceframe is actually a direct ancestor of the Narayana class.

No Purusha frigates remain in the order of battle of the Federation's three line fleets. Most hulls of the class were decommissioned and yarded in case of emergency reactivation. Some were towed for scrap, though incomplete paperwork in the purchasing process has birthed a small flock of conspiracy theories. A few demilitarized Purushas still fly as fast couriers for private interests.
