Description
The Silverfin Coastal Cutter was developed at the dawn of the 24th Century. The cutter was designed for policing coastal waters and acting as a escort vessel for large naval vessels. However its ideal role is patrol missions & smuggler interception, not traditional combat, due to its weak armor.[1]
The designed was employed by all major Great Houses' with water-rich worlds.
Armaments & Capabilities
The Silverfin's main weapon is the its navalized Magnum-Sperry Machine Gun[2] mounted in front of the ship. It also has two Short-Range two-tube Torpedo launchers for anti-submarine warfare placed in its bow turret. Both weapon systems are tied into the ship's Advanced Fire Control system. The ammunition bay located in the ship's hull carries a half ton of machine gun ammo and one ton of SRT-2 ammunition.[1]
The ship is lightly protected with Windancer Lightwave armor.[3] However, the ship's powerful hydrofoil-enhanced propulsion engine allows it to achieve speeds of 120 km/h when engaged in "Hydrofoil mode", increasing the Silverfin's survivability. Other features include two searchlights, mounted on the turret and bow of the ship, along with a lifeboat.
Cargo
The ship has a one-ton cargo capacity, normally used to hold crew supplies.[1]
Variants
- Silverback Coastal Cutter - Lyran Alliance-upgraded Silverfin.
