PRODUCTION INFORMATION
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
STANDARD FEATURES
  • Designed to be a fast long-range patrol corvette able to engage from long-range and be built in large numbers (relative to its status as a minor faction warship).
  • Three large and powerful thrusters, one centrally-mounted, and the other two being on the wings providing excellent power for pursuing smugglers.
  • Bridge is mounted in the bow with a dedicated ray shield protecting it and the accompanying pair of fire control computers in a room behind it. This bridge is the battle station of the captain. There's an auxiliary bridge two decks down and further astern with all the necessary gear to command the ship with the remaining two fire control computers to the port and starboard of it.
  • Its point defense guns are placed to have fully enclosing the ship with overlapping fields of fire.
  • A fortified extendable docking collar in the stern of the ship below the main sublight engine.
  • A fairly-comfortable ship for its crew, the crew is able to be kept aboard without much of a problem to crew morale or effectiveness.
ADVANCED SYSTEMS
  • Maintains the same redundancy of power generation of most Crossroads Republic ships, with all four SBRA-24 Fusion Reactors are interlinked with all systems, and any reactor is able to provide power to any system on the ship, they are scattered all over the ship, predominantly deep within the ship and able to handle the power needs of the ship quite easily.
  • The ship's resistance to boarding attempts is quite substantial thanks to internal heavy repeating blaster cannon autoturrets concentrated in the hallways which access the ladders and turbolifts to the ship's large number of decks. Has numerous internal security measures such as ray shields and numerous cameras and internal sensors.
  • The ship is built from four relatively-small sections, the bow, the two wings, and the stern, making it easy to build en masse.
  • Excellent fire-control for its weapons, can engage as many targets as it has guns thanks to the computing power of its fire control computers.
  • Maintains the same level of well-designed damage-control systems with large numbers of ray shields and fire-fighting foam dispensers in all spaces of the ship with large amounts of the material stored aboard along with staged fire-fighting equipment, breathing apparatus lockers, and redundant back-ups for all kinds of systems with overlapping fields of responsibility.
STRENGTHS
  • Fast, meant to run down many freighters and other corvettes.
  • With its J-43 turrets it can easily out-range ships of its own weight class, and even some of the larger ships aside from those armed with large railguns or missiles and can do so while pursuing or running away from them thanks to the placement of the ship's weapons systems.
  • Excellent flak capability due to having a high computing power-to-gun barrel ratio alongside a solid number of missile tubes.
  • Excellent capability to fight off boarders thanks to heavy security measures and a large number of combat droids.
WEAKNESSES
  • Lacks the maneuverability of more agile ships, will not be able to out-turn someone trying to chase them or execute some real pin-point maneuvers while chasing its quarry.
  • Lacks heavy firepower to handle an enemy frigate.
  • Only has three sublight engines, and they aren't armored or buried within the hull to prevent specific targeting.
  • Can only board an enemy ship by turning its back to the ship to dock with it, can be a time-consuming maneuver that can only happen when the enemy ship is stationary or at the very least quite slow.
DESCRIPTION
Another escort-type ship for the Crossroads Republic Fleet which also represents a design departure away from longer boxier designs in favor of a sleek fast winged design able to be commanded very aggressively in defensive engagements protecting a fleet or a convoy or in an offensive capacity going after enemy commercial or logistics ships while supporting starfighter wings. This is also a powerful ship designed to disable or destroy fast blockade runners thanks to its long-range main battery and a battery of anti-ship and anti-starfighter missiles. This new weapons loadout makes the ship quite flexible, as doctrine required it to be. This ship's most attractive feature, besides its armament, is its ease of manufacture and repair thanks to its modular construction. In an equipped Crossroads military shipyard a Hawkbill-Class ship can go from its initial go-ahead for construction to launching as a battle-ready unit in a period of less than two weeks. And if damaged a section merely has to be removed, and a pre-constructed section attached to put the ship back into action.
