Design Notes

The Reliant class patrol cruiser is available at our shipyards in Rhylanor (Rhylanor/Spinward Marches), Ariis (Ariis/Verge) and Sylea (Capital/Core). It is a high tech ship used primarily to protect merchant shipping from corsairs. Many of these vessels have been built throughout the years, made by many different manufacturers.

The Reliant class carries a powerful sensor suite for such a small vessel. It has good offensive weapons systems, both a missile turret and a triple laser turret, each with LIDAR and an MFD. It has a short range automated triple VRF PD Laser battery with LIDAR, flight computer and MFD for missile defense and anti personnel duty and a sandcaster turret for laser defense. ECM includes black paint, stealth, drive masking, and a passive jammer. The hull is much more heavily armored than most ships of its size.

It has fuel scoops and a fuel purifier for frontier refueling.

There are eight ship's troops on board to act as a boarding party. The ship's boat can be used to carry the boarding party to the vessel to be boarded.

The crew has a gym and lounge for recreation adjacent to the galley. It carries a standard lifeboat and a ship's boat to be used in case of a disaster (or large corsair) causing the ship to be abandoned.
