Class History This vessel was first put into service in 2248. It's primary mission is border patrol, anti-piracy and interdiction. This ship has also seen action with Larger Narn fleets acing as a fleet screen or a scout. One favorite tactic of Narn commanders is to use 10 or more of these vessels in a swarm attack. This small ship could open it's own Jump points, though it had to devote all energy to the jump drive in order to power it, and therefore was not all that useful. About 30 of these ships survived the Second War of Centauri Aggression. At this time the Narn Admiralty is still considering whether this line will be restarted or a whole new vessel is designed to fulfill this role. A version of this vessel is now being considered that will remove the hyperdrive and replace it with more powerful beam batteries. A fire support variant was also built, though only five survived the War. (Note: Most of the above text came from Jeff Hiatt's description of the Patrol Frigate, which is also his design. I always liked the look of his extra Narn ships.) |
