| Notes | This design utilizes Solarian League
impeller technology to incorporate impellers equal in total power to those
of the Tiger-class BC. This allows the Mars class
to tow a total of six PN 2nd Gen missile pods (16 DN/SD-grade missiles per
pod) or to tractor up to four inside the impeller wedge. Similar EW/ECM
technology upgrades are also incorporated, giving the class an EW capability
similar to that of PN battlecruisers. These improvements and the increased
number of broadside missile weapons reduces the magazine space for the missile
launchers to slightly less than that of the Sword class CA on a per-tube
basis and reduces the drone telemetry capacity by a third from that of the
Sword class. This class was introduced in In Enemy Hands, with further information given in Echoes of Honor. |
