G'Del Class Minesweeper The G'Del Class was built to give the Regime a cost-effective, easy to build minesweeper. Many designs were considered, including an Arcimus refit, a T'Loth variant, a Sho'Kar variant, and even a Ka'Toc, but the G'Karith was selected. It already served in a patrol role, so adding the minesweeping gear to the sensor suite wasn't all that hard or expensive. The ship carried eight Minesweeping shuttles, and was armed with ion torpedos as its primary armament. In operation, once the minefield was taken care of, the G'Del class was sometimes used in a fleet support role, providing extra ion torps for fleet engagements. Unfortunately for the type, the War of Retribution happened, and most were destroyed while attempting to clear Centauri minefields. G'Rann Class Amored Carrier The G'Rann class was built to move more Frazis and Goriths (and thier variants) into combat. Most were destroyed during the War of Retribution. (Note: This variant was suggested by Robert Balsley. He sent me an e-mail sometime last year, but I didn't get around to the SCS till recently. Sorry, Robert!)
