Starflare class Close Escort

Starflare class Close Escort (Military Starship)

The Starflare was designed and produced by the Mora branch of TrinTechnics. The first test model was completed in early 1114. The Starflare exhibits a number of typical TrinTechnics design features: the asymmetrical computer installation, short endurance, and multi-task design in particular. TrinTechnics designers attempted to wedge as many useful features as possible into the Starflare, with the nuclear damper installation perhaps being the most unusual in a vessel of this size. This was prompted by a perceived need to defend against small Vargr vessels with easy access to nuclear weapons. A small troop contingent, a slight surplus capacity in accommodations, and provision of cold sleep chambers for prisoners allows a Starflare to engage in boarding and capture operations. As of 1120, no navy in the Domain of Deneb had ordered more than a few test examples of the Starflare, usually citing the low endurance as the cause of rejection. However, 23 of the vessels have been produced for private purchasers.
