As the Thyrsian War Machine began its meteoric rise to prominence, more and more designs were needed to flesh out the entirety of the self-styled Golden Armada. With their starfighter corps already established, and several smaller vessels terrorizing the stellar seas, there was a need for a vessel that could counteract nimble strike-fighters. This decision was made in accordance with the Thyrsian’s Art of War - which stated that One should always prepare themselves for the worst - and stay several steps ahead of One’s enemy if they wish to achieve victory.
Built on the skeletal frame of the Thesan, another warship that filled the classical corvette role within the navy, the Memnon was outfitted with a bulkier profile that was rife with countermeasures and interception based weapons. While it was slowed, in comparison to its kindred vessel, the Liburnian more than made up for its lack of speed and manoeuvrability by having a greater array of weapons at its disposal. This design choice would prove to beneficial to the dedicated Anti-Starfighter platform, as the weapons it was outfitted with were distributed evenly across the exterior of the hull plating.
Capable of engaging enemy projectiles and strike fighters from almost every angle, the Memnon was set upon the path of becoming a useful addition to the ever-growing war machine that swore allegiance to the Scions of Thyrsus.
