LAM Griffin Heavy Frigate MK3fS

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 has 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 Burst Salvo missile turrets, as well as larger Burst firing missile salvo pods, the Griffin is able to punch well above her weight class and even more so as 3-5 of these powerful ships are deployed at a time, wether it’s policing LAM territory, warding off any potential threats from pirates or rival companies the Griffin is 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 specifically being reassigned as a MK3fS having the more reliable 400mm double barrel siege cannon mounted in twin casings on either side of the bridge as the Frigates new main armament, with both Griffin variants in their final stages, all new Griffin MK3f’s and MK3fS “commanders” have been fitted with more thrusters, more external sensors, more PDC’s, 300mm Flak turrets and all bridges have self sealing heavy blast doors installed, to help better protect the crew while in combat as new weapons and technology becomes available, the remodeled Griffin MK3fS version has now been officially commissioned for all current and future Griffin patrol fleets as dedicated command and control units for all LAM Griffin Frigate groups within its borders
