T.N.F. Drone Carrier Class 'Vengeance' Mk.I

The Vengeance-class is a relatively small and lightly armored drone carrier. It assumes a supporting role in Fleet engagements, sending in its drones from a distance. While other Fleet carriers, like the Wraith, Tyrant and Tigershark carry manned spacecraft, the Vengeance-class carry four Impaler Light Assault Drones. These are remotely controlled from stations inside the carrier.

The carrier’s Impaler drones are attached to its sides, and is armed with gatling guns, rocket launchers and a gatling turret. They are the main drone type carried by the Vengeance-class, though the docking platforms are designed to allow several other drone types of the same size to be used. The drones can be used for scouting out signals, to escort friendly ships, or in direct assaults against enemy ships or fighters, if they are within signal range of their carrier.

The Vengeance is a space-only vessel and cannot maneuver if caught in a planet’s gravity well. However, it does carry a Talaria transport shuttle, located in the hangar in the aft section of the engineering deck. This hydrogen powered shuttle can safely land on a planet’s surface for away-missions, and then launch back into space. The Vengeance also carries a Ceres Mk.IV Mining Drone, along with all the necessary equipment to process ore and assemble building components.
