Description

The EIV Orca (IF-16) is a Cazador Class patrol frigate of the Escean Interstellar Navy first deployed in the early-2100s in response to the attack on the INFS Unity station. This relatively small naval vessel has a crew of eighteen split between bridge, fire control, engine room and accommodation departments. The primary purpose of the Cazador class is to patrol colony space and stations owned or part owned by the Escean government or companies and deter potential attackers with its powerful weapons suite.

Built by Magellan Space, the Cazador class is capable of planetside operation and thanks to its port-facing weapons can be used in a gunship fire support role if necessary, flying in a tight pylon turn much like the HA-30 'Slamfist' used by the Escean Air Force. This spacecraft is armed with two 20mm rotary tri-barrel rail cannons, the rounds of which can exceed 3km/s. Such firepower is easily capable of bleeding energy from the kinetic shielding produced by a ship's dimensional drive in a handful of shots and can tear through some of the thickest armour. Close-In Point Defence Laser cannons provide defensive armament along with a powerful electronic warfare suite.

This vessel is capable of near-FTL flight in the Home dimension in addition to FTL + flight in the Underworld. Ionic propulsion is used for both space and atmospheric flight.
