Aramis Class Light Fleet Escort

Aramis Class Light Fleet Escort (Military Starship)

The Aramis is designed to meet the Imperial Navy standard requirements of Jump-4 and 4-G acceleration. Named for worlds in the Spinward Marches, there was a certain amount of public outcry from the planetary populations so recognized when the class was unveiled, as many didn't think that having such a small vessel named after their planet was much of an honor. The Imperial Navy still engages in limited production of Aramis class escorts at shipyards on TL13 planets. When active defenses such as meson screens and dampers (not usually installed on vessels in this size class anyway) are not considered, there is not much difference in performance between TL13 and TL15 vessels. The model 7 computer set up on these vessels is sufficient to be superior to that carried by most small raider and corsair vessels. Thus, Aramis (and similar) class vessels can be used to perform rear and low threat area escort duties enabling more capable ships to be maintained in the front lines.
