Operational profile

Recognition and use

The Condottiere is a five-hundred-and-fifty-ton system-defense frigate with heavy armor, advanced electronics, and a meson-gun bay. Six beam lasers, three missile racks, three sandcasters, and five point-defense lasers protect the ship while its main weapon threatens much larger intruders.

A protected launch, armory, medical support, repair drones, fuel processing, and a 182.875-ton hold support the twenty-six-person crew on prolonged local patrols. The frigate has no jump drive and must be based or transported within the system it defends.
