ADVANCED SYSTEMS

• UltraChrome Plating
• Quad Turrets
• ECM Array
• Sensor Array

Strengths:

• ECM array: Designed to provide information as well as deny it, the Aquilla class vessels are the defacto blind spot for enemy Friend or Foe systems
• Sensor Array: The Aquila class corvette is designed for two purposes. The second is to have eyes on anything that moves on the battlefield.

Weaknesses:

• Sluggish: Aquila cruisers are slower than the average corvette, making them easy targets
• Minimal shielding: The Aquilas rely on their ultrachrome plating to keep them alive in a fight.
• Not designed for combat: The Aquila class hosts turrets, but they are intended as defensive only. The Corvette is unable to fend for itself for long.

Description: The Aquila class cruiser is the first new addition to the Octarchy stable. While Voph had extensive history commanding fighter arrays during the Zakuul war, ECM technology was virtually unheard of. Because of the difficulty to implement this technology, paired with not requiring multiple ships with this capability, Voph only requested that 8 be built, one for each Battle-group.

The ship was, however, designed for ECM and little else. It does, however, sport a sensor array, allowing it to report and record all movement near the ship. Recognizing the utility of a ship like this, Voph ordered the armor to be tougher than an average Corvette class, and to mount anti-fighter turrets to help prevent a loss. The ship, however, is instructed to run should it be engaged without the support of other Octarchy Vessels.
