Description: Seeing the need for a dedicated vessel to engage enemy vessels and their modern targeting and sensors the engineering team of IFW have developed the new IFW Indictor-class EWAR Corvette. Loaded out with several weapon systems designed to limit the enemies ability to target and track allied forces the array of weapons and systems can render an enemy nearly blind and limit communications both in systems and out of the system.
Ferrocarbon/Agrinium mesh Frame utilized durable ferrocarbon as the base for the frame of the vessel. An Agrinium mesh network is wrapped around the frame forming a faraday cage completely encircling the vessel in an energy network which can absorb and dissipate energy such as electromagnetic or ion energy. This system of frame construction presents a highly durable skeleton for the vessel and offer superior anti-em and anti-ion defense.
Electro Magnetic Non-explosive Reactive Ablative "EMNERA" Armor is a state of the art armor system for the new vessels being constructed at the Imperium Forge Works shipyards. EMNERA armor is an ablative/reactive hybrid armor which utilizes both systems to increase the durability of the armor plating. Two heavy quadanium steel ablative plates utilize the AR-0B ablative treatment to strengthen the durability of the already super durable quadanium steel. One plate is laid down on the starshils hull creating the inner plate of the system. A layer of silicar is them installed on top of the quadranium steel creating an inert liner. Then the top layer of ablative quadranium steel is installed creating a reactive plate which can withstand immense amounts of force and heat. when an energy bolt strikes the heavy plating the ablative energy current helps to disperse the energy by strengthening the quardanium steel plate. When a kinetic weapon strikes the armor the inert layer of silicar helps to dissipate the kinetic energy by compressing the silicar as the top layer of armor flexes against it to counter the energy of the weapon strike upon impact minimizing the force displaced on the inner layer of armor.
A standard suite of sensors and targeting systems track and identify targets and feed them to the vessels targeting computers. Standard communications systems keep the ship in touch with its allies and can communicate at long ranges with holographic, visual and audio communications. A proton 8 reactor is positioned amidships which feed the massive appetite of the weapons, systems, shielding and engines of the vessel.
The IFE Indictor-class is designed to escort a larger force and provide needed electronic warfare. It has very limited weapons to defend itself so it can get into trouble if singled out and divided from its escorting ships. Defensively the vessel relies on its large shield projector which is located buried in the center of the vessel and its advanced armor and framework. A single dual turbolaser is equipped to combat larger picket vessels and two hexlaser turrets give limited protection from attack craft.
