Strengths:
Nebulae Hunter: Up to a moderate distance this ship can detect ships with their engines engaged, allowing it to pursue enemies hiding in nebulae. This feature makes the Comendant-Class a fearsome pursuit ship.
Lateral Movement: This ship can move side to side, allowing for great maneuverability in combat. This is extremely valuable in an atmospheric gunship role, and lets this ship strafe infantry and vehicles with ease.
Weaknesses:
Low Defenses: The armour on this corvette is rather lacking, and if shield stripping weapons like ion cannons were to be used the armour of this ship would be easily penetrated.
Weak Points: Near the engines at the rear, there is an area where the shields have a tendency to buckle in only a few turbolaser shots, and once exposed the engines are highly unstable and can be easily destroyed.
Description:
The Comendant-Class was developed as part of the Nothmir-Vong wars to seek and destroy small scout bioships in the region’s nebulae. The ship’s unique armament is used to defend the craft from projectile bioweapons, and also allows it to operate in an anti-infantry superheavy gunship role.
The ship, unlike most ships of its size, the Comendant is able to move laterally both in atmosphere and in space. This affords impressive maneuverability, but also stops the craft from achieving its true potential for speed.
Overall, the first addition to the fleets of Nothmir is a welcome one, and sure to fly on wings of glory into a brighter future for humanity.
