OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Description: The Nightingale is a ship designed to operate in large fleet settings, or in small patrol fleets. As such, it has large amounts of consumables on board, able to keep the large crew compliment fed for roughly six months deployed if needed. Due to the numerous sub systems the Nightingale sports, it has a higher than average crew compliment for a ship its size. The need for more crewman limits the number of ground troops the ship can carry, and it regularly carries none at all, instead focusing exclusively on space requirements.
Many ship systems come from Lucerne Labs, a group that has ties to the SJO.

- Rear Hangar Bays: The hangar bays aboard Nightingale ships are situated towards the rear of the vessel, near the engines. This allows for the vessel to provide forward and broadside covering fire for fighters, which can deploy and strike at ships rapidly from their origin.
- Concentrated Fire: The design of the Nightingale allows for extreme amounts of firepower to be focused forward, giving it the ability to blow through formations of smaller ships.
- Multiple Targeting Computers: Along with its concentrated fire, the weapon emplacements across the Nightingale are divided into sub groups, each with its own dedicated targeting computer. This allows the Nightingale to target and fire on numerous targets at once. There are also several minor "bridges" for the larger groupings of weapon emplacements, allowing for them to take over in case the bridge is lost.
- Tank: With the heavy reliance on weaponry, armor and fighter support, the Nightingale is not able to match speeds with other ships of similar size. It also cannot maneuver well, limiting its ability to take evasive action.
- High Crew Requirement: With the increased number of hangars, and the numerous targeting computers the Nightingale sports, it requires a larger crew compliment, limiting the number of ground troops it can carry at any time. Also limited space for marines, minimizing its ability to defend against boarding parties.
- High Maintenance: With the numerous separate control stations, and sheer volume of components needed to keep the ship fully functional, raising the cost expenditure on the ships. Having large numbers of these ships in a single fleet is extremely difficult on upkeep.
- Exposed Engines: While they are heavily reinforced with layered shielding, there are few defense turrets located near the engines of the Nightingale. They rely entirely on their fighters to protect this section.
