• Nobles of Null is a forum based roleplay site where sci-fi and magic collide. Here, Earth remains fractured and divided despite humanity reaching out to the stars. Worse still, the trans-human slaves of one major power have escaped, only to establish their own Empire, seething with resentment at abuses of the past. Even the discovery of aliens, though medieval in development, has failed to rally these squabbling children of Earth together with its far darker implications. Worse still, is the discovery of the impossible - magic. Practiced by the alien locals, nearly depleted and therefore rare, its reality warping abilities remains abstract and distant to the general populace. All the while, unseen in the darkness of space, forces from without threaten to press in. For those with eyes opened by insight, it is clear that an era is about to end, and that a new age will dawn.

Daqin Frigate WIP

Page
The Xùnjié Fēng (迅捷風), or "Swift Wind" class space ship is employed by the Diguo Junshi of the Empire of Daqin in 2309 CE, making it a relatively new ship design despite already being a mainstay of the navy. Small, fast, nimble and very multi-role capable due to its wide selection of armaments and equipment, the Swift Wind can be found acting independently, working with others of its kind in a wolf pack, or escorting much larger vessels.

OOC Notes

  • Need to figure out a proper name for this thing. Most of the gear has been very typical in the naming scheme, so maybe something a bit more special for the ships. Probably proper, more elegant sounding classes and so forth since the Daqin are actually acutely aware that it's the ships that matter the most.
  • Though small, fast, nimble, multirole, it's still an important ship meant to operate in wolf-packs or to screen and protect larger vessels
  • Probably about 100-120m in length
  • Wide selection of weapons, flexible
  • 60-80 crew similar to contemporaries from Earth, but unlike them, the crew is mostly marines due to lower crew requirement to keep the ship running
  • Lasers for point defense
  • Gauss and laser guns for ship to ship combat in order to maintain flex
  • Several missile batteries for anti-fighter work despite other nations not having them beyond prototypes yet
  • Two torpedo tubes for anti-ship work
  • Drone bay to deploy support units
  • Two fighters for recon/special ops or two shuttles
  • Main gun is a spinally mounted particle accelerator, large for its size
