Description
One of the first generation of post-Succession Wars era WarShip designs produced, the Impavido-class destroyer is a joint collaboration between the Free Worlds League, Word of Blake and Capellan Confederation.
While much of the driving focus behind the WarShip build up of the Federated Commonwealth and Draconis Combine was the threat of the Clan fleets, for the League and Confederation it was the Federated Commonwealth and thus they designed the Impavido to primarily combat the Fox corvette.
Unable to yet produce WarShip on their own, the Free Worlds League constructed the vessels while the all important interplanetary drives were produced by the Capellan Confederation, both goals made possible with the technical expertise offered by the Word of Blake. However only six Impavidos were constructed prior to the collapse of detente between both nations, three for each state, where with further Blakist assistance the League and the Confederation turned to producing their own unique WarShip designs.
Armament
The Impavidos nose bay anti-fighter weaponry features twin Gauss Rifles, Artemis IV FCS equipped LRM-20s and Anti-Missile Systems along with a ER Large Laser paired with a standard Large Laser, while the capital grade firepower consists of twin NAC/20s, a NAC/10, NL45 and Light NPPC. The forward and aft angles each duplicate the nose bay, save for excluding Gauss Rifles, AMS and naval PPC. The Impavidos broadside bays are weak link of the vessel, limited to a ER and standard Large Laser, two LRM-20s, a Large Pulse Laser, two NL45s and light naval PPC on each side. Even directly aft is better armed, removing the Gauss Rifles and naval PPCs but mirroring the impressive nose bays.
Cargo
Even after including a Lithium-Fusion Battery, the Impavido carries a sizable 27,392 tons of cargo, supporting the vessel during long range patrol and raiding operations. The craft also includes provisions for 18 aerospace fighters along with its ability to carry two DropShips.
Named Vessels
- Free Worlds League
- FWLS Janos Marik[8] - Primarily stationed at New Olympia to serve as training ship for Lloyd Marik-Stanley Aerospace Academy.
- FWLS Phrygia[8] - Constructed at Brigadier Corporation's MacKenzie yards, shakedown revealed problems with the drive fittings which required the re-installation of the drive mounts.
- Word of Blake
- FWLS Impavido[8] - The lead ship of the class, the Impavido was stationed in public view as an example of the technological advances made by the League. The Impavido was suborned by the Word of Blake during the Jihad and operated as a part of their fleet; it was subsequently destroyed by a Principality of Regulus task force in the Gibson system in 3078 alongside the Eagle-class Bedevere.[9]
