Description: Sleek and armed to the teeth, the Widow utilizes high-grade shielding and top-line missile systems to stay competitive even out of its weight class. Officially designed by Koensayr for system security and patrol, a task its well suited to with its multiple weapons designed to disable rather than destroy, it has been noted that a simple computer command is all that it takes to switch the launch tube feeding system over to a much more lethal warhead. With improved shielding and sensors, cost and build time had to be saved somewhere resulting in an elevated crew count as automation was reduced throughout the ship and a slightly slower than the military standard hyperdrive. The frigate's navi computer is another problem area requiring near-weekly attendance from the ships I.T. to assist in defragging junk data since its nearly always running an updated stream of course trajectories to several selected locations based on the ship's galactic orientation allowing for quick pursuit or escapes from poor engagements. Though in a safe system a ship's commander can disable the auto-updating.
