Republic Acheilus Frigate

The Acheilus is the cumulative result of years of research and development for a well-rounded destroyer class ship. Working upon the flaws of the older Lancer class, the Acheilus is a deadly agile ship with low sensor profile giving the ship some level of stealth protection. Unlike other ships of her size, the vessel is armed with a single Cruiser sized main battery, giving the ship significant firepower. The ship’s unique hammerhead contains the latest in sensory as well as ECM systems, along with 2 rapid fire railguns kept at each end of the hammerhead. Powering the Acheilus is a single Bertling Stellar Drives Quantum reactor, and 3 BSS SB-14 Sublight drives. This makes the Acheilus one of the fastest ships of the Republic Fleet. A slight disadvantage of the design would be the lighter armor plates use to protect the ship. The standard medium armor plates were sacrificed in order to give the ship an advantage in speed and agility over other destroyer and Frigate classes. To make up for the lack of armor, ship designers added several point defense turrets at critical areas of the ship to shoot down attacking fighters and missiles. The Acheilus classes first saw combat when 3 destroyers were assigned to Task Force 5 under the flag of the RSV Evangelos that led the main defensive action over the homeworld of Zarini.
