Type-31 (Ship)

The Type-31, better known as the Khopesh-class, is a highly advanced small gunship constructed by Sirius Shipyards for Trident Foundries' Expeditionary Force.

Description
Attaching to the rear of the Type-30 Spectre-class and also capable of full independent operation, the Type-31 gives crews of the Spectre-class vessels valuable protection and reconaissance capabilities without putting the main ship at risk.

Exterior
The entire outer hull is composed of two shallow sloped armour sections forming the ships' "wings" and protecting key areas.

Behind the docking clamps, a small cockpit pokes out of the center of the ship, and behind that, two vents for the engines.

Interior
A small two-man cockpit interior and a bunk below make up the only inhabitable space inside a Khopesh.

Systems
Five comparatively large PlazWorks-derived thrust units give the Khopesh-class incredible acceleration, while advanced RCS and redirection units give it superior manueverability to most of the PlazWorks-designed corvettes in service with the Trident navy.

Armed with twin-linked rapidfire plasma cannons and several fusion missile launchers, a Khopesh is capable of dishing out a lot of damage for it's size.
