Part of the latest generation of Clan Dem'adas warships, the Ik'aad-class Corvette is built to the same standards as the rest of the Dar'tome Mando'ade fleet and incorporates a large assortment of advanced electronics, electrical systems, and structural elements. Many of these elements are holdover technology retained from records of Mandal Hypernautics' previous designs. The rest of these elements are new innovations learned by necessity after years of combating numerous alien forces, or are borrowed technology taken from those same alien forces.
Far faster and much more nimble than the larger ships of the Dar'tome Mando'ade, the Ik'aad Corvette is utilized as a long range picket ship and fast interceptor, designed to investigate and run down small threats that other ships would be too slow to intercept. To help the ship in its intended role, the Ik'aad incorporates a rare long range sensor known as a WADAR that monitors wide swaths of space for disturbances created by the use of Etheric Rudders. While this sensor suite does nothing to aid in the detection of most large and medium ships, it has proven invaluable in the early detection of small ships and shuttles operating at the edge of traditional sensor ranges, or operating deep inside asteroid fields.
Like the other ships made by Clan Dem'adas, the primary armament of the Ik'aad-class takes the form of batteries of turrets equipped with twin Mass Driver Cannons. These magnetic rail cannons accept a wide range of ammunition and can also be used as Flex-Tube Launchers, enabling the fire control officer to switch between a withering barrage of armor-piercing solid projectiles or a wide range of large ordnance options. These weapons can utilize a number of ammunition types and are often used with Armor Piercing, HE, and time delayed Flak rounds. And can be utilized to launch numerous ordnance packages. Supporting this primary armament are a numerous point defense emplacements, making the ship capable of projecting devastating fields of fire to protect herself and other nearby ships from hostile starfighter and missile attacks.
Like most of the Dar'tome Mando'ade warships, the Ik'aad-class incorporates a number of advanced power management and propulsion systems. These include an 'Unbreakable Engine System', a Weapon Power Converter, a Power Loop Capacitor, the Mandal Hypernautics designed Overdrive Engine, Maneuvering Thrusters, and a SLAM system. With these components and the high quality power conduits running through the ship, the Ik'aad-class is capable of redistributing power among various ship systems to dramatically alter the performance of the vessel, although only two of these components may typically be active at any given time.
