SFS Ranger Subspace Transceiver (Range is 100 light-years):
It can monitor more than 100 different subspace frequencies simultaneously. By altering frequencies every tenth of a second, the Ranger scans the entire subspace spectrum in less than 1 hour. The powerful com-scan encryption computer can decode most intercepted messages within minutes.
C3 Computer:
Built by CoMar for use in the Tri-Tracker, the Countermeasures Compensation Computer attempts to account for the jamming and evasion devices used by its targets. The C3 extrapolates the target's continued trajectory and feeds that into the targeting device.
Description: Designed to compliment the IFAS, the AFAS is 8 times larger and packs a heavier punch than its little brother. Additionally, the AFAS maintains the lighter hull (though beefier than its little brother by virtue of being a larger ship), which allows for the extra speed that the ship exhibits in comparison to other vessels of its size. Additionally, the vessel has a very small hangar, which limits its ability to carry support craft, making it not an invasion worthy vessel, but a very capable fast attack and main ship support craft.
The addition of the C3 Computer makes targeting much easier, especially in the case of starfighter squadrons. Add in the Ranger transceiver and the ship becomes slightly more useful in working in conjunction with the IFAS as a first line of defense and flanking vessel. Additionally the hangar of the ship is located in the fore of the vessel, with the actual hangar entrance facing towards the aft, which protects it from incoming fire, and allows the shields to be dropped in that section so that ships can leave, without exposing the vessel to enemy fire.
All in all, it is a suitable craft to the fighting style of the Echani, and suitable for the roll it is meant to fulfill.
