The Naares-class is the next generation line of corvette/gunship. It sees limited use in the core fleets as a patrol and picket ship.
Design
The Naares-class Gunship is the perfect addition to the Imperial Navy at a time when larger warships, powerful in their own right, are ill-suited for the majority of missions. Boasting the speed necessary to pursue typically smaller Rebel vessels, it also has sufficient weaponry to deter, if not defeat, any small capital ships the Naares-class encounters. The Naares has an angular bow section housing command and tractor functions then flows aft into a central hull spar. Aft is the drive section as well as primary living quarters and auxiliary control. Drive engines are mounted aft, two atop two. There is a wing fixed perpendicular the ship’s axis and descends evenly ventral from the hull itself. The wing serves to aide stability in atmosphere and also houses maneuvering jets for deep-space agility. In keeping with other ships of the same specification and, in part because of a lack of shuttle-capacity, the Naares has the ability to both land and take off from atmospheric conditions. Unique to the Naares among other class-vessels, such as the Corellian-model gunships, is a tractor beam and boarding capability. The Naares retains two squads of Fleet-Assault Corps troops to make good any inspection or detainment.
History
Desiged by Grand Admiral Desaria as a patrol and inspection vessel for the Imperial Navy Proper. These powerful vessels were built in limited numbers and are seldom seen outside the core.
