Cobra-class

The Cobra-class is a class of small, agile light corvettes manufactured by Sirius Shipyards for the Trident Foundries military.

Description
One of the products offered by the revitalized Sirius Shipyards from GY 2432, the Cobra-class offers a vastly different take on the corvette role than an equivalent PlazWorks ship.

With a long, narrow and mostly-uninterrupted rectangular design influenced by past Infinite FleetWorks ships, the Cobra-class stands out amongst the primarily PlazWorks-dominated Trident fleet.

The Cobra-class was designed to fit into a large hangar onboard Exodus-class vessels, but it is also a capable vessel on its own.

Exterior
The majority of a Cobra-class is covered in Sirius Shipyards' own bright white armour system, informally dubbed S-Plate Armour, that makes the vessels stand out from darker and more common PlazWorks ships.

The forward end houses two plasma beam emitters, and a fusion missile launcher is placed below these, in a small recess, for longer-ranged combat.

Interior
The Cobra-class has only a small accessible interior section.

From the two side airlocks, there is a central corridor with a computer core access panel, followed by a ladder to the bridge and living section. This section has two bunk beds for the two-man crew, a small table with a built-in replicator, and the two control consoles at the forward end of the room.

Systems
Cobra-class vessels are modestly armed, with twin forward plasma beam emitters and a single fusion missile launcher.

These vessels feature powerful sublight thrusters and an extensive array of RCS thrusters that give the ship exceptional speed and manueverability.

History
In late GY 2431, the design teams at the restored Sirius Shipyards began designing a number of new vessels, including the Cobra-class and the substantially larger Exodus-class. The Cobra prototype was tested on December 2431, and was commissioned into the fleet in February 2432, while many further vessels of the class have followed since.
