H-type

The Aesthetica Fleetworks H-type Utility Vessel is a modular small capital ship, designed and produced by the small Aesthetica Fleetworks corporation. Ships of the class can fill almost any role in a fleet.

Description
The H-type is a highly modular small ship that provides a relatively cheap option for planetary defence forces or minor powers to expand their fleets. Being capable of both combat and logistical roles makes the ship particularly appealing to cash-strapped PDFs and minor powers who wish to standardise on one ship type for various roles.

Exterior
All H-type vessels are highly industrial in appearance, with pipes and conduits snaking all over the hull and systems.

The H-type has a distinctive vertical hammerhead frontal section, with the bridge located on the top half of the hammerhead while any spinal weapon outputs are on the lower half. A thin neck connects this to the main hull, which widens out for four massive thrusters.

Interior
The interior layout differs between variants of the H-type.

Systems
All H-type vessels share the same four-engine layout.

Combat variants of the H-type have four forward fixed plasma cannons on the lower half of the hammer head, along with two rapid-fire plasma turrets either side of the head, a small plasma turret on the bottom of the head, and many more turrets on the main hull.
