Description[edit]
Designed during the Age of War era, the Intrepid Assault Craft was a Primitive Small Craft which was used as a multifunction vessel, being able to undertake the roles of both interceptor and assault craft.
The Intrepid was conceived prior to the Federated Suns fully adopting the aerospace fighter into its military. At the time, the FedSuns was among the last to adopt the aerospace fighter, and its leadership desired a ship that could be used in additional roles for their fleet.
The craft was used to replace early "Assault Shuttles" and small escort craft. The intent was to create a general purpose vessel, so the craft took on roles for which many other nations were using a variety of different types of ships. In addition to serving as a fighter craft, it was used also to transports marines to vessels for boarding actions. The ship was designed with enough firepower to put it on par with the contemporary spacecraft of its day. The ship's performance motivated others to adopt similar vessels.
It was phased out by more economical aerospace fighters by 2455.[1]
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
The Intrepid's weapons array had the following: Two Large Lasers, one per wing section, which provides the craft its long range firepower. The ship's remaining firepower comes to bear when it closes within the effective range of its six medium lasers. Three medium lasers are concentrated in the nose, with a single laser mounted in each of the two wings. An additional medium laser is mounted aft to give the ship some measure of defensive ability if it is tailed.[1]
The ship's primitive fusion engine provides maximum thrust of 8. The ship's hull is protected by 18.5 tons of primitive grade of armor. The vessel also carried a crew complement of a single officer, 2 enlisted crew and two gunners.[1]
Cargo[edit]
The Intrepid has a Cargo Bay for 1 Foot Platoon, with two cargo doors.
Design Quirks[edit]
The Intrepid Assault Craft has the following Design Quirks:
Related Designs[edit]
- Aquarius Surface-to-Orbit Escort craft
- Lyonesse Surface-to-Orbit Escort craft
- Tigress Close Patrol Craft
Notes[edit]
The image of the Intrepid was originally used for the Tigress Gunboat of the Taurian Concordat.
