New Solomani Patrol Frigate

[Sageryne]

Hi all,

I have been working with mapper Robert Pearce of Yet Another Traveller Blog and artist Ian Stead on another project. This is a 1500-dTon, Jump-3, Manoeuvre-4 patrol frigate. It is designed for dealing with pirates and smugglers rather than fleet actions.

There are two versions of the ship. Robert has posted one on his blog with his own illustration and a slightly different Deck One.

Here is the eleventh in the series of starships, small craft, and vehicles designed by members of the Traveller community using the Advent...

Below is attached a version with art by the always amazing Ian Stead. This version is more rounded.

The ship is influenced by the USS Sulaco. It can carry marines and has two 50-dTon cutters that have the option of carrying a wheeled APC.

The ship also has cells for captured pirates or smugglers.

Please enjoy

Sounds like a good ship to pirate other ships with. A bit slow to catch pirates, but it would make a good pirate.

Depends on their budget.

The problem with the Conestoga class light assault starships, are that they seem to be highly automated, so minimally crewed.

That can come back to bite them.

The Lafayettes' mission, long border patrols, is dull and boring. As a result, they struggle to get enough crew members. This could make them vulnerable to a determined counter-boarding...
