High Nenomause Commonwealth Space Defense Fleet.	ALLIANCE-Class Corvette.		High Nenomause Commonwealth Space Defense Fleet.
The ALLIANCE-Class Corvette was the smallest ship-of-the-line of the High Nenomause Commonwealth Space Defense Fleet when they were forcibly annexed by the United An ALLIANCE-Class Corvette. Note The Presence Of Tricylce Landing Gear. Galaxies Council. As such, they were also the most COMMON class; Only slightly larger than a space fighter, the ALLIANCE-Class Corvette was designed SPEFICIFICALLY for the ANDROMEDA-Class Medium Cruiser. After the annex, a few thousand of these sturdy, steady little craft remained in the former HNC systems, until the FBX 21555320 debacle; The REF then reviewed the possibility of using them as "Fast Reaction Vessels" or possibly Forward Staging Ships; Unfortunately, they proved to be inadequate to either, but the engineering was sound, and the layout was used to develop the AZONIA LAPLAMIS-Class Fast Reaction Vessel. When the ANDROMEDA-Class was re-activated as the primary defensive platform for the AZONIA-Class, the ALLIANCE-Class was also re-activated. These three vsls will likely remain in service for a long time yet to come. Operationally the ALLIANCE-Class is more like an space bomber (such as the B-104) than a 'ship' per se; They land on a planet or other ship at the end of a patrol of usually 08 to 24 hours after completing a specific mission (usually standing fast in an area to deter and alert to intrusion in that area). They can operate up to 06 months independently of another platform, but at severely diminished crew capacity- They'll be so burned out that if they don't crack they'll need months of rest (even some hospitalization). Name: RDF ALLIANCE-Class. Model Type: Fleet Corvette. Crew: 20; 5 officers and 15 enlisted. The CO is typically a Lt(jg). Passengers: None; There's only room for about 6 non-crew onboard. MDC By Location:
Main Hull- Bridge- External Hatches (02)- Internal Hatches (about 50)-	5,000 1,000 500 each 100 each	Radar/Communications Antenna Array- Thrusters (2)-	200 200 each
Speed and Statistical Data:
Spacefold: Not equipped. FTL: Factor 15. Cruising Speed: About Factor 5 to 10. In Atmosphere: 100 mph; Was specifically designed to return to orbit on their own. On Water: None. Can not even float (sinks in about 20 minutes). Clearance: 35 feet. Beam: 70 feet. Length: 250 feet. Weight: 10,000 tons. Cargo: Crew supplies only. Flight Systems: Grav pods (over 2,000 of them, with independent backup batteries).		Power Systems: Primary: JrJ-71 Heat Pile Reactors; Output: 20,000 KwH; Lifespan: 10 years under normal use. Secondary: Bleed off from the RKT 82 Hydrocell Thrusters; Output: 8,000 KwH; Lifespan: 200,000 hours. Tertiary: Solar Sails; Output: 900 KwH; Lifespan: Unlimited, but the ship will be unable to maneuver other than by solar winds and weapons systems will be deactivated; The ship is essentially a lifeboat now, and the crew will be fighting for their lives. Cost and Availability: 20,000credit each; Can be built in as little as a month. Black Market: Between 10,000 and 45,000credit each; Often available. As always, price and availability varies depending on buyer, seller, and circumstances.

Rate of Fire: Per gunners attacks per melee plus bonuses (generally 4 or 5 per melee). Range: 500 feet. Payload: Unlimited.		3. Ships, Fighters, Power Armor, and Robots: Unique amongst UGC vessels, the ALIANCE-Class Corvette almost qualifies as an aero-space bomber itself; They can re-fuel fighters, etc, in-flight. Destroids- Up to 05 RDF-Era Destroids other than the MAC-II/HASS-I can be carried. Cyclones and other power armor- Up to 50 are normally carried.
Features:
ESM: Radar Detector. Passively detects other radars being operated. Radar: Combat grade radar. Range 100 miles, can track up to 50 individual targets. 95% reliability (24% against unfriendly stealthed vehicles). Blue Force Tracker: Identifies friend from foe. Overlays the information on both the radar and HUD, ensuring that friendly forces are not accidentally targeted. GPS: Standard tracking device. Ties into the Blue Force Tracker. Anti-Jamming System: Reduces Electronics Countermeasure by 25% (decrease skill level appropriately). HUD: Displays maps, radar, targeting information, and any OTHER information the wearer wants directly in front of the user. One is located at each weapons control station, and another makes up the majority of the bridge. FLIR/SLIR: Forward and Side Looking Infrared. Allows pilot to get visuals on targets at night.		Virtual Map: Displays a continuously-updating map of local terrain for the bridge. Takes data from and gives data to other friendly units in the area. Effective navigation of 85% as updates come.
