Part of the latest generation of Clan Dem'adas warships, the Verd'ika-class Frigate 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.
Serving as a both a light escort and fast interdictor for the Dar'tome Mando'ade fleet, the Verd'ika-class of Frigates is equipped with a variety of exotic technologies that make her dangerous in vacuum and absolutely deadly in-atmosphere. When operating in the void, the Verd'ika's relatively fast ion drive and corresponding overdrive and SLAM systems allow the frigate to run down or keep pace with all but the fastest of blockade runners. Should the Verd'ika be able to get into close ranges with a target ship, the Verd'ika can activate a unique interdiction field that slows down nearby ships without slowing the Verd'ika itself. Further supporting the Verd'ika's role as an interdictor are her batteries of Density Projector Turrets and Gravitational Field Projector Turrets. The first of these weapons projects a field of energy similar to that of a tractor beam emitter. When this projection interacts with an object, the mass of that object is artificially enhanced for so long as the energy field continues to be projected over it. This additional mass hinders the acceleration and deceleration of an effected ship and causes them to be more strongly effected by gravitational fields. The second weapon, the Gravitational Field Projector, is a weapon that produces a narrow beam of energy that, upon impacting an object, causes said object to naturally produce an intense gravitational pull towards itself. By using these three technologies in tandem, the Verd'ika is able to drastically impair the speed and maneuverability of hostile ships in close proximity to itself.
Also designed to support Verd-class Battleships in their planetary operations, the Verd'ika-class Frigates are equipped with similar sensor technology to the Verd-class and are likewise equipped with an expanded ventral armament. More impressively, the Verd'ika-class Frigates are equipped with powerful Repulsorlift Jamming Beam Emitter Turrets. These turrets produce narrow beams of energy in a similar manner to the emissions of tractor beam turrets, but over much longer ranges. Within the effective area of these jamming beams, repulsorlift technology suffers significant malfunctions and in most cases simply fails to work altogether. While this is most often utilized to inhibit the use of repulsor vehicles by hostile ground forces, these turrets can also be used to great and devastating effect upon hostile starships operating in-atmosphere. By crippling an enemy warship's repulsors and utilizing Density Projectors and Gravitational Field Projectors upon said warship, the Verd'ika-class Frigate can cause even the most massive of enemy warships to flee atmosphere or risk crashing to the ground.
Like the other ships made by Clan Dem'adas, the primary armament of the Verd'ika-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 a wide range of heavy ordnance. 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 Verd'ika-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 Emergency Vector Thrusters, as well as a SLAM system. With these components and the high quality power conduits running through the ship, the verd'ika-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.
