The Sturgeon Class Assault Vessel

Pyrettanian Shipbuilders, in a joint venture with the Quinntopians, have announced the joint Rokkenjiman-Quinntopian project now known as the Sturgeon Class Assault Vessel. Sturgeon is intended to supplement current Imperial Naval capabilities against a variety of targets including air, land and both surface and submerged vessels. Sturgeon was also designed with the rising threat of ballistic missiles in mind, boasting anti-ballistic capabilities through the Aster Block 2 BMD system.

The Sturgeon also utilizes the Integrated Communications/Operations Network (ICON), seeing the first iteration of the Imperial Navy's 'Star Bridge' concept (OOC: Think similar to Star Trek, but modified appropriately for our purposes) which may see implementation across the Fleet.

The first Sturgeon to be deployed by the Imperial Navy is to be named Beatrice in honour of the Empress. Final details concerning the vessel are yet to emerge, but the following is known thus far:

A Communiqué from the Communist Quinntopia War Commissariat





The People's Revolutionary Navy shall also be making one Sturgeon Class Assault Vessel operational in the near future. Her purpose is mainly to provide further support to the ranks of the People's Revolutionary Navy, which are dispersed in three different locations in the Independent Order at this moment in time, though she shall also be used for defensive purposes in the event of ballistic missiles being launched, making use of the Aster Block 2 BMD system.

This vessel shall be named PS Leviathan. The addition of the Leviathan to the People's Revolutionary Navy will increase the size of the armed fleet (excluding patrol boats and troop transports) to 36. Should international events take another turn for the worse, then the Leviathan shall be deployed to the area creating tension, should other nations become involved as well.

In Solidarity,

Ivan Toralo
