Bird of Prey Escort
design by Yves Simon
The Bird of Prey is a recent addition. Designed specifically to be transported by a
Flammsteed Tanker and guard it during
refuel operation. It is a fast (5G) ship armed to the teeth and moderately armored (8cm BSD). The primary armement is a
100dTons 4.5 Gj PAW Bay located in the enlarged prow of the ship. It is seconded by two 720 Mj Laser Lances
located on the ship's wings. Secondary armement consist in two 400Mj Laser Barbettes. defense is performed by two
PDS laser arrays, 4 Sandcaster Turrets and 2 Nuclear Damper Turrets. Crew accommodations are good for such a ship
(two crewmembers per SSR, one officer per SSR) and some recreationnal areas are allocaed although the crew often
share the areas of the Flammsteed they are associated.
Bird of Preys are small ship, therefore they need to fight with Hit & Run tactics until larger ship can arrive to reinforce
them and drive away any large threats.
