User:Swb/Project Emerald Yrillian Export

Designed by Hyperelite Technology, a division of Colhane Industrial Incorporated, and funded by the Laudon Orbital Consortium, Project Emerald is intended as a modern competitor to the esteemed Patroller-A, providing best-in-size patrol solutions for the small-to-mid-sized polity. In early 2324, a collection of Yrillian work gangs headed by the Yrillian Defense Fleet reached out through the MWCD looking for a new cheap patrol frigate. Hyperelite adapted the design to Yrillian requirements and Federation export restrictions, in particular a reluctance to export burst torpedo launchers to insufficiently vetted groups. Phasers and torpedoes of Yrillian design were used instead. In addition, customization options for the export Project Emerald include adequate power and mounting ports for any 50kt module, both the popular sensor array, the classic torpedo rollbar, or even a licensed OSA presence module should the operating work gang prefer it.

The Project Emerald team is headed by Chief Engineer Jada Zhranet and Team Director Ulanud, and includes Rigellians from the original Oda-Gach team, the vice-chief of Patroller-A refit team, and expertise from Starfleet, the Orion Union Navy, and a number of Yrillian ship design teams.

Can be equipped with any 50kt module at added 5br 5sr cost with no change to crew. Can also be equipped with a T3 Recreation Facility at no change to cost, but uses up all the spare power allocated for the module.
