Strengths:
- Raider: Armed with sharpened fangs and tempered steel, the Nagata-Class Corvette performs it’s battlefield duty as a Gunship, able to act within the bounds of the void or the cloud-capped skies of a planet’s atmosphere. The Starship, provided there’s a competent Captain at it’s head, is easily able to slay vessels that match its classification and threaten those that don’t.
Weaknesses:
- Exterior Weapon Mountings: Designed to act with modularity in mind, when it came to mounting the weapons on the standard stock model, the offensive weapons (sans the concussion missile tubes) were affixed to the outer hull. While the benefit of such a choice creates a modular design, it offers a significant flaw for an enemy to exploit, should the shields fall.
- Firing Arc(s): With fixed weapon mounts placed atop the exterior hull plating, the Nagata suffers from a slight decrease in its fields of fire. This leaves significant gaps along the base of the structure, and aft sections of the Corvette, leaving avenues open for enterprising pilots to exploit the vessel if and when its shields fall.
- Hypermatter Reactor: Through the process of human ingenuity, the fusion power of a star is lashed and bound within the heart of the Nagata. If it is sabotaged, bereft of the heavily enforced safety protocols, or breached in any way during Combat - the Reactor will detonate in a similar fashion as a Supernova.
Description: The Nagata-Class Corvette, was a light, fast-attack vessel that fulfilled the combat roles of a Gunship and aerial fire support. In its stock configuration, the starship was small and compact but boasted a heavy armament for its classification and size.
Originally designed for the Galactic Alliance and their New Class Modernization Plan, the Nagata was slated to see action on the frontier, as a heavily armed patrol ship and escort. However, as the program was summarily dismissed, Republic Engineering Corporation had reworked their design to recoup the loss. Bereft of Alliance encryption keys and made into a modular vessel, the Nagata was reborn and ready to be purchased by REC’s eager customer base. Devised with military precision and efficacy in mind, the Nagata-Class Corvette was sleek in its appearance - both on the exterior and the interior. One of the initial thoughts that the technicians held dear in their hearts while putting this vessel on the drawing board was of how comforts caused distractions. Thus, as paper gave way to cold, hard steel, the Nagata was forged in a streamlined fashion, where frivolities were non-existent, and everything had its place.
Its offensive weapons were mounted on outer housings, as to fit the larger picture for future upgrades and refit packages. While this was an admitted weakness, having the ability to swap out its armament - after several days of being berthed in a dry dock - would reveal an entirely new Vessel after the modifications were complete. Assisting in the ship’s combat function were the installation of the Anti-Emission tracer and the Tractor Shroud. Utilizing both it would make it difficult to trace the Corvette as it made the jump to Hyperspace, and difficult to achieve a tractor lock upon the Nagata - respectively. Also, the Antimissile Octets and Point Defense Cannons were built into the starship itself, so that no matter which modified variant the Nagata may become in the future - it would always be well defended.
This protection includes the internal shield generators and its electronic warfare suite.
To expand on what’s contained within the E/WAR Suite, it begins with a sensor package that includes the ability to scramble hostile transmissions, as well as punch through enemy jamming. From there, if focused on a single target, the sensor suite was able to confuse an enemy’s point defense weapons and alter the trajectory of locked torpedoes. As Ion weapons had come back into the forefront of the void theater, the designers at Republic Engineering Corporation had seen fit to blanket the underside of the ablative hull with an Anti-Ion Mesh. An item that would safely divert the charged particles of these disabling weapons along the length of the hull towards the Cap drain - which would reliably negate the highly ionized particles/plasma. With molecular shielding in place, many had seen it as an unnecessary precaution, but as warfare had begun to get more progressive and intuitive with every cycle; the added layer of protection became a necessity.
