Olympian-Class Escort Ship
Length: 65 Meters
Type: Armored Cargo Transport, Convoy Escort, Short Range Scout.
Crew: 8 Officers, 4 Chiefs, 48 Crewmen.
Description: The Original Olympian-Class Corvette was only ever in its prototype phase. Corellian Engineering Corporation never put the ship into full production. However, after the Corellian Refugees fled to Ilium and began living in space, what was left or CEC started to relook at all their previous designs.
Given the status of the migrant Corellian Fleet, they decided to overhaul the Olympian design into an Escort vessel which would act almost as an armored vehicle for transporting important cargo, as well as acting to protect convoys from marauders and pirates.
The general idea of the ship is that it's small enough to look like a fast transport or freighter. Disguised as such it can hide amongst a convoy of freighters. When any ship in the convoy detects an attacking pirate vessel, the Olympian can spring into action and fight off the attackers.
Because of it's purpose, the small ship was built with idea that it would most likely need to take on much larger ships all by itself so it was built to take a lot of damage as well as dish it out when it needs to.
Hull: Double Hull design with inch thick durasteel primary hull surrounded by 2 inch thick Laminanium. Between the hulls are honeycomb structures made from Titanium that measure 4 feet in width.
Shields: Her shield generator is second only in size to her impressive weapons. Her shield generator is close to the same design of those used by the CR90 Corvette. It's a powerful shield generator for her small frame and provides exceptional shield protection. There are a full 6 arcs, fore, aft, port, starboard, ventral and dorsal.
Engines: The ships engines are some of the most complex ever built. They take up nearly a third of the ships interior space and provide the small ship with a lot of thrust. Her main engine is similar to that used on the YT-Series freighters only scaled up and significantly upgraded. Flanking her main engine are two secondary vectoring Ion thrusters for her maneuvering.
Cargo: The ship is a short range vessel, it doesn't carry supplies for more then a few weeks since it is almost always with a larger ship or a convoy of ships from which it can resupply. It can carry 300 metric tons of extra cargo with the idea that the main valuables of a convoy would be carried by the escorts to increase it's protection for the cargo as well as the convoy, since pirates would go after the most valuable cargo first.
The ship has enough cargo space to supply itself for up to 3 weeks depending on how many passengers it's carrying.
Passengers: The Ship can carry up to 8 VIP passengers with amenities and protection. There is no space for troops or commandos and the crew spaces are small at best. Only the Commanding Officer and his Second in Command have their own rooms.
Weapons: 4 heavy laser cannons, 2 quad laser turrets and 3 concussion missile launchers.
The laser cannons are located on either side of the forward cockpit. Two cannons on either side which can fire in sequence or linked.
There is a Quad laser turret on both the dorsal and ventral hull, dead center of the ship.
2 concussion missile launchers are right under the cockpit of the craft facing forward. The third is mounted ventrally, under the engine block facing aft.
