Design
The vessel had a streamlined oval shaped hull with a pair of stabilizer fins that jutted out from the lower aft of the ship. Another smaller stabilizer fin was also located on the dorsal surface near the middle of the vessel. It was powered by four huge ion engines set in a diamond formation at the aft. Each frigate typically had the house crest or other affiliated symbols on the hull of the ship. Most ships were named after planets or cities.
History
The Tapani-class Assault Frigate was manufactured by the Tapani Starship Cooperative of the Tallaan shipyards, although it was only the main hull of the ship that was of an original design. The other systems including the engines, weapons, and electronic matrix were sourced from other manufacturers. Although this inevitably meant the overall cost of the ship was large and spare parts were more difficult to obtain, it was probably the only way such a small company could produce such a sophisticated vessel.
