- Standard Tractor Beam
- 6 x Tactical Drop Pod Mounts
- Advanced ECM: In addition to it's extensive point defense systems, the Fearless boasts a robust ECM suite which allows it to provide false or mis-leading sensor data to enemy targeting systems. While not advanced enough to fool capital grade sensor suites, this system has shown the ability to override the flight protocols on a variety of computer-guided missiles and torpedo's, allowing the Fearless the ability to alter their courses or activate self-destruct protocols about 65% of the time.
- Enhanced Ion Propulsion Drive
- Enhance Thruster Assembly
- 6 x OSA-02 Tactical Drop Pods
- Troop Carrier: The Fearless possesses enough space to house a battalion of soldiers and their gear and possesses the hangar space and support craft to land them quickly from orbit.
- Fast and Maneuverable: The Fearless has a faster cruising speed and more efficient thruster assembly than most ships of it's tonnage. The idea behind this is to allow the ship to enter orbit, disembark its troops and get underway before enemy vessels are able to engage it.
- High Armament
- Energy Leakage: The Fearless leaks energy rather significantly due to the high amount of power required to operate it's extensive armaments. As a result, this ship has a powerful sensor echo that is very difficult to hide, making the use of these warships in stealth situations nearly impossible.
- Inefficient Fuel Economy: Because of the power requirements needed for the Fearless' increased shielding and armament, the ship consumes fuel at nearly twice the rate of other ships of similar tonnage. This makes operating it for long periods of time expensive and difficult.
- Maintenance heavy – The Fearless boasts a number of custom built systems, which require intensive maintenance to keep running optimally. Failure to keep this rigorous level of maintenance up can result in system malfunctions and even catastrophic failure
The Fearless is a prototype fast attack cruiser designed personally by Beltran Rarr to be his personal flagship. It is intended to double as both a powerful offensive warship and a personnel/troop carrier. The vessel has a powerful armament, but is only bolstered by an average set of defenses for a ship of it's tonnage. It has enough room for a light battalion of infantry and carriers enough support craft and tactical drop pods to deploy them rapidly in most types of ground engagement. Drawbacks from such an amalgam of advanced systems include a chronic energy leakage probably that makes stealth operations of the Fearless nearly impossible. Add to that an extremely inefficient fuel economy and an exorbitant maintenance cost makes operating the vessel for long periods of service nearly impossible.
