Special Features: Listed as;
Crew Club - Where officers and enlisted alike can come for a drink, play a game of cards, listen to scuttle or listen to a few holoradio programs.
Redundant Shield Generators - housed near engineering, these generators kick in to provide shields when primary shields fail, secondary will take over until they’re depleted or until primary shields have come back online.
Traditional Sickbay - A traditional sickbay equipped with five beds maximum.
Unified Galley - Officers and enlisted share a galley / mess hall.
Bridge - Where the commanding officer and his/her senior officer staff monitor the ship’s vitals and lead their crew during battle.
Officer Cabins - Officers share their cabins, two to a room.
Enlisted Cabins - Enlisted share either four or six to a room.
Engineering - Adjacent to the shield generators, engineering houses the Fortan’s core and ensures that her systems are functional.
Logistics Management - A limited few from logistics can be accommodated aboard the Fortan.
Sec/Tac Offices - Once more the departments are combined and are limited to one office aboard the Fortan-class Heavy Corvette.
Decryption Labs - Unique to the Fortan-class are the decryption labs, for while the Fortan is meant to fight and harass a larger vessel, she is also able to decode or encode high priority messages or intercepted messages from the enemies of the First Order, making her well suited to travel alongside the Dagger.
Electronic Warfare CM/CCM Systems - In the new age of war, one must always be prepared for the electronic side of the battle, the Vindicator-class comes equipped to handle such aggressions and to unleash its own barrage of electronic warfare as well. The primary function of which is sensor jamming. An effort to blind enemy sensors by overwhelming them. (x) (Countermeasure / Counter-countermeasure)

Maneuverability Rating: 8

Hyperdrive Class: 1
Strengths:
[+] Explain! Explain!: Equipped with decryption labs the Fortan-class vessel is able to decrypt or encrypt just about any message. Giving her the ability to grab and go, grab the necessary bits of information and leave the area before anyone comes the wiser.
[+] Bring Me the Doctor!: Built with redundant shield generators the Fortan is able to withstand a little more punishment than her bigger sister the Dagger. Add in her speed and maneuverability and the Fortan can be quite the little pest scratching into the capital ship’s she’s meant to harass.
Weaknesses:
[-] Exterminated: The Fortan is small, smaller than the Dagger so as you can imagine, should she misstep at any point she’ll join the Dagger in the early grave.
[-] It’s Smaller on the Inside: Baradium-missile storage is housed next to Sickbay, a singular well placed shot to Sickbay will run right through to the missile storage compartment, and that will spell the end of the Fortan.
[-] Run For Your Life: Run, run very, very fast Fortan, most especially if you’re out match and outgunned. The Fortan while meant to harass capital ships is not meant to do so for very long. Due to her mass produced tag, her armor is thinner than the standard of her class.
[-] There’s Always A North: Due to the cramped space AND thin armor the Fortan runs the risk of premature death from her crew’s own mishaps, accidents and errors. Most notably because her shield generators are next door to the engine room, one fatal error and she’ll not survive long enough for her crew to make it to their lifepods.
Description: Funded and sponsored through a joint partnership between the Bespin Imperial Shipworks and the Galactic Empire Historical Association, the Fortan-class named in honor of the Fortan family. Has recently begun production at both the Cloud City Imperial Shipworks and Curovao Shipyards which has taken half of the orders to assist with production deadlines.
The Fortan-class is also a Primo Victorian design, manufactured through the First Order Corps of Imperial Engineers. The third design is meant to compliment the Vindicator and the Dagger, respectively. The goal was to develop a vessel who would be able to harass capital vessels while buying the Dagger and Vindicator time. Primo Victorian worked closely with the FOCIE during initial development.
Once more Primo Victorian aimed to blend the old with the new. This particular design was the second design presented to Bespin Imperial and GEHA, and ultimately the design that is now being produced. The Fortan-class Heavy Corvette is due to make her appearance sometime next quarter.
Development Thread: If Necessary
Intent: To develop a heavy corvette for the First Imperial Navy, and to diversify our Navy. Giving naval/fleeting role-players more choices and flavor to add to their fleet/command lists.
