Vehicle:U-Class

The U-class stealth corvettes are the primary vessels deployed by the seclusive and dangerous.

History
At an unspecified date the Topsabuto deployed the U-class stealth corvette to explore beyond their asteroids within the Ghost Nebula in the south west of Quadrant 82. Their reputation soon turned (in)famouse as their silent running mode was almost impossible to detect by the various trade frigates.

Upon the outbreak of the and the fall of  the U-class stealth corvettes are rumored to have appeared within the  as far as.

Design
The U-class stealth corvettes are 85 meter long vessels designed and constructed by the Topsabuto. The ships are often called old buckets and seem to be patched together. In truth this is a fact as the Topsabuto constructed their vessels from raided or abandoned ships within the Ghost Nebula.

The design of the ship is arrow-headed, with two engines in the aft-section. The forward section contains the launch area of its torpedoes and a fin to stabilise the ship when it runs underwater. Both aft "fins" have a similair function. The mid-section contains the bridge and the egress port for its raiders.

Within the ship it is freezing cold, as the Topsabuto can survive long periods of cold and do not require heat. One of the main reason why they are so difficult to detect for sensors besides their reflective hull plates. Its mid-section also contain two atenna for short and long range communications.

Upon firing torpedoes the stealth mode shuts down for 10 seconds before being recharged. Though sometimes visible by the naked eye, ships often have to rely on manual firing sequences to actually hit the quite manouverable ship when stealth mode is active.
