Ship Name: Patriot
Ship Type: Frigate
Owning Nation or World: North America
Ship Purpose: The Patriot was designed as a close escort to
larger vessels. It has also seen service as a patroler and small
time skirmisher. Its ability to land on and off worlds has greatly
increased its popularity as a colonial parameter defense vessel.
It has moderate speed and moderate armament, consiting of 2
dual laser turrets and a remote missle bay. It's one drawback is
its lightly armored hull.

Ship Status
Ship Name: Tachyon
Ship Type: Interceptor
Owning World or Nation: North America
Ship Purpose: The Tachyon class interceptor was designed as a
vessel with the ability to combat enemy ships at a moments notice
from on world bases. The ship is mostly power plant, thrusters
and drives which makes it very fast, and very difficult to hit or
track. The armament is impressive, consisting of 4 Hyde lasers
in single mounts around the ship. After take-off, the vessel has
about 6 hours of use in which to combat enemy vessels. It is also
good for close system escorts and as express boats for important
documents or items. With advent of the Kafer Invasion, the
Tachyon has seen much action as aretaliation vessel versus the
Kafers when liners, merchants, as well as militarty vessels are
under attack . The unfortunate drawback is the ship's limited range.
Fortunately enough, if the victim is within the ship's range, the
ship is sure to arrive very quickly.

Ship Status:
Ship Name: Wenton Class
Ship Type: Dropship
Owning Nation or World: North America
Ship's Purpose: The Wenton Class Dropship was designed
for the purpose of creating a craft that would be able to drop
troopers behind enemy lines or for boarding actions, and to
deploy troopers throughout the colonies as a fast reaction
vessel. The ship is lightly armed and is not even armored.
This ship has seen most action after a battle has ensued where
boarding parties are needed to detain free floating ships with
hostile crew. The ship is also very fast which keeps it out of
trouble, and makes it an excellent blockade runner, or when
troops have to be sent to a specific hot spot in a hurry, covertly
or otherwise.
