STRENGTHS
- Spy Ship: The latest reincarnation of the Interceptor-class Frigate is a highly capable scout, using its appearance of a simple CEC bulk freighter to conceal a number of information gathering devices, from the relatively simple but powerful sensor arrays and subspace transceiver to the more unusual spy ray, slicing system, and sensor beacon launcher. Sensor scan resistant holds allow the Interceptor V to also smuggle in cargo and persons into space ports for more covert operations.
- Fast: As with the original Interceptor Frigate, the Interceptor V is an exceptionall fast vessel, with a good power to mass ratio that is typically
- Low Firepower: The Interceptor V is relatively lightly armed. While not likely to succeed in significantly damaging enemy capital ships, it is typically quite capable of destroying or capturing small craft like tramp freighters and fighters.
- Low Durability: The Interceptor V is not a terribly durable craft, mostly retaining the original thin hull plating found on CEC's bulk action series of bulk freighters. Its shields are fairly typically for a military corvette its size.
With the immense military strength of galactic powers in the galaxy, pirates, criminals, and other raiders oftentimes don't have the brute power to blindly worlds and convoys. To help provide the intelligence needed to find and identify lucrative targets and to provide an early warning to the pirates themselves, CorelliSpace quietly revised an existing version of the Interceptor IV-class Frigate, stripped away much of its weaponry and instead fitted in a variety of already existing intelligence equipment and spy technology into the hull. Combined with careful mimicry of the Bulk Action VI transport and sensor-shielded holds, the Interceptor V-series can lazily plow through the space lanes of civilized space all while collecting vital intelligence for future operations. Aside from this role, the Interceptor V is capable of snagging or destroying small craft on its own, either opportunistically or in carefully planned ambushes. It is also capable of smuggling in equipment and personnel thanks to its benign appearance and sensor-shielded holds, providing pirates and other raiders with a means to conduct covert operations or smuggle in captured loot to fence.
