Ice
Character
Note: A new sub was used as the other ship was an assault frigate. This is a support frigate to better account for all the tech and lack of weaponry.

Strengths:
- Armor plating able to defuse heat from incoming energy weapons over entire hull
- Highly resilient to kinetic damage from mass-drivers and concussion missiles
- High degree of structural integrity
- Active Visual Camouflage
- Nearly undetectable by most forms of sensors
- Defense guns have full range of coverage and are able to engage targets with AA from all approach vectors.
- High speed at the cost of maneuverability
- Able to jam enemy communications
Weaknesses:
- When cargo containers are loaded and attached to the underbelly, speed drops by 1.
- Small interior cargo hold.
- Limited Capital Weapon Fire Arcs. (Left, Front, Right)
- Must move at slower than maximum speed to optimize stealth.
- All capital guns are Ion cannons.
- With more importance placed on fighter/bomber defense and technology, the ship has the offensive capability of a Corvette instead of a Frigate.
- Vulnerable to rear attack.
- No ability to inflict actual physical damage on other vessels with its capital guns.
- No dedicated Hangar Bay for support vessels. Save for one bay able to house a single ship up to 50 meters for repairs.
- * Docked support fighters/bombers and/or gunships out in the open, and easy targets to return fire.
- * Support vessels take longer to load up and deploy, due to the fact that they are only connected by docking clamps, and don't have dedicated hangar space.
Description:
This ship is a hunter. She stalks her prey quietly and patiently. Never heard and rarely seen until it is too late to escape. She is built to take severe hits and keep right on going. Rare and expensive Ultrachrome armor plating and Anti-Concussion Generators protect her outer hull from a great deal of damage. Even when this armor system is overwhelmed, a spine and frame made of Mandalorian Iron holds this hunter together as she continues to engage her prey.
Defenses:
Hull Cutaway - Her inner hull may only be made of Durasteel, but above this, an outer hull of Echani Graphite reinforced Ultrachrome plating is capable of diffusing a great deal of heat and energy over the entire hull before failing and allowing the underlining inner hull of Durasteel to be damaged. The interior walls of the ship may only be Alusteel, but a Beskar spine and frame ensures that the core of the ship remain intact even after withstanding grievous damages. Reinforcing this physical protection is a system of Rampart-Class Anti-Concussion Generators that help lessen the damage potential of kinetic weapons like mass-drivers and concussion warheads that happen to strike the armor or hull of the frigate. Insulation and grounding wires, which help to absorb Ion Cannon fire, complete the defense network.
Offense:
All Ion Cannons have a left, right, and/or front fire arch. This ship is susceptible to being flanked, and is unable to respond to attacks from the rear without turning the whole ship around to face the threat. Even then, with only ten Ion cannons for an offensive punch, she packs about as much a sting as a corvette. And still can't actually destroy another vessel with its big guns as much stun it into submission. Instead relying on its stealth, defense, and complete surprise to overwhelm its victims.
Cargo:
Although rated at 2,000 metric tons of interior storage capacity. Ice had electromagnetic clamps installed on the underbelly of the ship. In the event a ship with large amounts of cargo was captured. The cargo could be transferred to the cargo containers on board and then transferred via tractor beams to be attached on the underside of the ship, mid section. Although allowing the vessel to now carry much more than it would normally be able to. It left the ship vulnerable to being overtaken and/or outflanked by much larger ships, as it was now even slower than normal.
Electro Magnetic Clamps:
Along the underbelly of the ship, lie 20 groups of electromagnetic clamps. What these are is a duo of technologies. The first is the electromagnets. These magnets hold the cargo containers mentioned above securely to the hull of the ship. In the event of power failure, the secondary measures engage. The clamps are joined with small power supplies, so that if the electromagnets failed, they would clamp down on the cargo containers so they don't float away.
* Docking Clamps:
To save massive amounts of space on the ship. Docking clamps (such as the one Han Solo used to dock to the destroyer) were installed on the bottom of the frigate in the bow and stern sections of the vessel. This allowed the frigate to still have support craft while also having space for stealth technology on board. The trade off was much slower speeds of getting support craft deployed. As well as the support craft being extremely vulnerable to enemy fire from below.
Mandal Hypernautics Overdrive Engines
(+2 Speed at the cost of -2 Maneuverability while activated. Changed from +/- 1 to +/- 2 due to the new 20 point speed scale)
((Makes Speed 6 and Maneuverability 12 for a short while.))
