Description

This class of Corvette gets its name sake from the horseman of the Apocalypse mass slaughter, War, the Red Horse corvette is able to carry 19 Yama antimatter planetary bombardment missiles(ICBMs). One Red Horse destroyed the colony of Vieira. This strike was as the Serkins finished conquering the planet and finished all forms of human resistance, by firing 3 Yama missiles at the planet. Red Horse ships carry 4 sets of twin 30 mm Gatling cannons across the rear of the ship for defense in atmospheric flight. However its main defense is the stealth system masking the ship from both visual and sensor detection. The outer hull is coated with stealth ablative coating, which hides the ship's radar signature(active radar) and doubles as active camouflage when working in concert with the ship's texture buffer. To protect itself from passive detection the use of a particle disruption device to make all passive radar systems think the ship is just one of many trace particles that are ignored by all passive radars. The ship has the smallest 2 in 1 warp drive/antimatter reactor humanity has ever used in military applications. IMSF forces rely on Red Horse ships for extraction from behind enemy lines. Recon and mine laying operations are the primary role of all Red Horse Corvettes, officially the antimatter weapons are for mine laying operations only and not exterminating all life on a planet. The ECF however is more than willing to use them in laying waste to Serkin worlds.

The small size and multi-purpose mission gives the ship only three livable levels. A forth level exists but is cramped and is mostly a storage crawl space. The bridge CIC and Navigation deck are all in a single shared space. The ships FTL comlink is in a small secured room.

a small ship, with enough firepower to scorch a small continent... that should keep the neighbors quiet.
