Strengths:
Expensively Advanced: There are no spared expenses in terms of what systems are attached to this vessel. Including jamming, firewalls, and anti-EMP defenses.
Point-to-Point: With a high quality hyperdrive the starship can travel swiftly between across the galaxy.
Weaknesses:
Conscientious objector: This frigate is completely unarmed in terms of offensive or even defensive weapons, relying instead on its systems.
Overworked reactor: The starship’s reactor is constantly in overdrive, meaning that any damage to it will require lengthy repairs.
Description: An unnamed vessel with no official project designation. In its only documentation the starship is labeled as project X-ZERO-ALPHA and sports no labeling, serial numbers, or designations of any kind. Even the casings of KDY components have been replaced with more generic ones to disguise the manufacturer origins. As it is, this starship doesn’t exist in any records or manifests. However, any who come face-to-face with such a vessel will find it does exist.
There are no weapons on the frigate, which relies entirely on a series of advanced systems components. Even at its size, these components draw every last drop of power from the reactor and causing it sit at critical levels. If anything were to harm the reactor, a failsafe forces immediate shutdown; only sparing life support and gravity. Repairs to the reactor can take hours or even days, depending on the damage severity. Of course, actually tracking and targeting the ship proves a difficult endeavour indeed. By all technical definitions of the word, this vessel is stealth. It may not have any cloaking operations and it cannot hide perfectly from short-range sensors, let alone the naked eye, but mid and long-ranged sensor pings will fail to identify anything of significance or note. Perhaps a close eye—when searching for such anomalies—could discover the general whereabouts of this vessel. Otherwise it is well hidden in the vastness of space.
Should the starship be detected, it has numerous means of defenses. Ranging from jamming systems to prevent tracking and lock-ons, to missile deactivation transmitters. As well, a cap drain system allows the frigate to resist ionic and EMP attacks at a higher level than typical. The starship isn’t totally incapable of dishing out damage to opposing vessels, either. The vessel’s hangar is large enough to store starfighter squadrons and even a pair of gunships, which can serve as a method of attack or line of defense if discovered.
In the field this vessel is purposed with large-scale transportation, and serving as a mobile base of operations. The decks are outfitted with laboratories, workshops, limited manufacturing stations, medical bays, meditation chambers, private quarters, and holding cells. Holocams and automated defense turrets dot the corridors and critical rooms in-case of infiltration or boarding operations. Ultimately this frigate serves a variety of purposes, and all of which are left to the discretion of its master.
