Class History Prosecutors were originally proposed the EA as short range heavy interceptors, capable of chasing down smaller ships and harrassing them until help could arrive. The design was meant for outlying colonies, and not for front-line military duty. When Mars gained independance, the producer of the craft, General Space Systems, offered the design to Mars as a ready to go, off the shelf customs vessel. MarsGuard accepted the craft, and the first flotilla of them entered service in late 2262. GSS has been delivering approximately 18 ships per year since, first basing the craft at orbital facilities, then on the ground and on board a few modified ships. The craft has four unipulse cannons, two of which are linked forward, and two are in a 360 degree turret on the dorsal side of the ship. |
