DESCRIPTION |
As the Mandalorians have grown bolder and struck out against the Galactic Alliance along their southern border, the need to secure neighboring Systems and Alliance Territory as a whole has become a priority. Enter the Fresia-class Patrol Ship; considered an updated variant of the older Marauder-class Corvette, the older design was overhauled and focused more on an increased speed and maneuverability to provide a vessel that was more than capable of running down vessels when needed just as easily as outmaneuvering a larger foe and withdrawing to signal the alarm. However, due to its focus on speed and maneuverability, the vessel is known to lack in other areas, specifically armaments. The Fresia-class has a smaller arsenal than the older Marauder-class, with its weapon systems focused primarily on disabling a vessel rather than outright destroying one. Likewise, due to its focus on other areas, the Fresia-class is incapable of supporting either a Starfighter or Support Craft Squadron as it lacks the hangar capacity to do so; the only minimal counter to this is its capability to deploy a singular craft, though this often consists of a boarding shuttle or barge. The primary purpose of the Fresia-class is to provide the Galactic Alliance with a rapid response patrol ship, whilst also providing local enforcement agencies with a reliable Corvette that is more than capable of out-running and out-maneuvering vessels that would be utilized by Pirates, Raiders, or other ne're-do-wells. Though lacking a heavier armament or thicker defenses, the Fresia-class is still a capable vessel. Its focus on speed and maneuvering allows it to excel in these areas, often outpacing similarly sized Corvettes. Likewise, its focus on disabling a vessel rather than destroying it proves a boon rather than a hindrance, as it is likely that packs of these vessels will be deployed to hunt down, disable, and board larger vessels or those Capital Ships proving particularly annoying to the Galactic Alliance. |
