Weakhto Escort

BARD PAPER: SARA5059

Weakhto Escort

The Weakhto is a two hundred year old Aslan design that first entered service just before the Third Frontier War. Originally designed as a destroyer, the ship served with distinction with allied clans for about a century, before obsolescence and attrition began to reduce their impact. The practice of using these ships to escort Ihatei began around 1080. Hundreds of these vessels were impressed for service in support of Ihatei incursions BTC and into Reaver's Deep. Most of the ships used to attack across the Rift are still in service with many clan frontline units, the result of a dearth of shipbuilding facilities, and a shortage of line units due to the Collapse and Virus. The Weakhto isn't much of a warship anymore, its weak armor and poor acceleration make it a liability against the more advanced navies of other Spinward States. But it serves admirably as a security and response ship for internal needs. Aided by ample firepower, a large troop contingent and a large hangar for small craft carriage, the vessel is perfect against pirates, smugglers and in crisis response roles. Name means "battle", and individual ships were named after famous battles from the Hierates past.
