LAM Griffin Heavy Frigate MK3fM

The LAM (Lupus Arms Manufacturings) Griffin Class Heavy Frigate had original design concepts detailed as an explorer/miner but with constant threats still within LAM borders, that explorer has now been militarily converted into a fast, durable and well armed vessel, having multiple blueprint layouts at first, the LAM’s engineering and scientific divisions finally agreed to this current model, hosting 2 light armored experimental Locust class modular turrets, multiple 20mm PDC’s, 30mm Auto Cannons and multiple Salvo missile turrets, as well as larger, forward firing Salvo pods, the Griffin is able to punch well above her weight class and even more so as all three variants of these powerful ships are deployed at any time, having 2 MK3fM and MK3fR Griffins for every 1-2 “Gorgons” MK3FG deployed making each group able to deal with almost any threat, wether it’s policing LAM territory, warding off any potential threats from pirates or rival companies Griffin class frigates are not to be underestimated, now undergoing a total refitting process, the Griffin MK3f variant features the impressive Deuterium reactor and all of its components due to clever alliances and various trade deals LAM has made have allowed them to fully replace the old Pulse Drives with newer more powerful Fusion Engines and more advanced Torch Drives, these vastly upgraded ships are now well within their final stages of development and already the closest LAM patrol fleets are having their current Griffins sent home for refit, however due to the experimental nature and underwhelming performance of the Locust turrets, especially during live combat situations, all LAM Griffin vessels are having their Locust turrets removed and reassigned to the LAST (Light Anti-Ship Turret) defense perimeter grids that surround LAM orbital stations and lunar/ planet side bases, with each Griffin is now being assigned the more reliable 400mm siege cannon turret array as the Frigates new main armament, now within its final stage the Griffin MK3f has been fitted with more thrusters, more external sensors, new PDC and secondary armaments and in addition to all of this, every other MK3f now returning from refit is now known as the MK3fM or has now been fitted with 4 high velocity armor piercing Gatling Guns, having replaced some of the Salvo missile pods mounted in their bows to demolish same size or larger ships at close to medium range, while it’s bridge has been fitted with self sealing heavy blast doors, to help better protect the crew while in heavy combat situations, this variant of the original Griffin MK3F is more focused on mid to short range brawling and similar Wolf Pack tactics as it’s sister ship by surrounding and slugging it out with opponents until they surrender, are completely destroyed or try and escape, now all Griffin variants are in their final stages, having these new platforms installed to spread out turret placement and with the addition of the MK3FM Griffin variant to all Griffin groups, LAM now has a solid standing fleet within its borders and can look towards expanding/updating its defensive and ground based arsenals, during each Griffin refit, R&D and LAM engineers were able to combine LAM Locust class turrets with Warfare weapons, allowing for several completely new and devastating weaponry almost completely by accident, these new weapons have now been made the new standard for every Griffin variant, with the top mounted 400mm on MK3fM and MK3F models being replaced by several brand new platforms while keeping the bottom mounted 400mm as their true main weapon, now with more than enough feedback from her crews and combat groups combined, all MK3fM and MK3f Griffins are being refit for the last time with new Warfare class turrets in place of their former 400mm siege cannons
