**************FLASH TRAFFIC FOLLOWS***************
FROM: Supreme Allied Command (SAC) Terran Space Agency (TSA)
TO: All Terran Space Commands
Priority: Urgent
Classification: UTSLCSS
Subject: Information Obtained on Pyrdean Space Vessels Part 1
Text:
The following information is forwarded via hyperlink comsat for dissemination on a need to know for all commanding officers and their respective staff who have obtained UTSLCSS security ratings.
We have "obtained" the following information on the Prydean space vessels:
Light Fighter: Codename "Drak-Hri"
Primary Weapons: (2) first generation light amplified stimulated emission radiators (LASER).
Secondary Weapons: None noted. Pods exist for what could be a possible rail gun system or missile rack.
Crew: (1) Pilot
Notes: An enhanced detection system appears to be present for what appears to be either navigation avoidance or search related functions. Although this appears to be a fragile craft with a limited defensive value there appears to be an advanced atmospheric monitoring system combined with a water based oxygen replenishment cell. The cell draws from a source between the inner (people tank) and outer hull.
Heavy Fighter: Codename "Hh-Riss"
Primary Weapons: (1) Advanced first generation dual firing rail gun system.
Secondary Weapons: None noted. As before external pods or pylons exist that look to be compatible with a start of art missile or rocket rack.
Crew: (2) 1 Pilot, 1 Navigation Officer
Notes: A detection system and general life support system exists aboard the Hh-Riss that is similar to its smaller relative, the Drak-Hri, therefore we feel the range and navigation systems are probably very similar given us a theoretical way of jamming or canceling out any advantage technologically speaking the Kat Lords may have in comparison to all TSA fighter craft. Defensive armament appears to have been thickened on the outer hull although there has been little to no sacrifice to manueverabilty.
Medium Escort: Codename "Kam-Ekh"
Primary Weapons: (2) Advanced first generation dual firing rail gun systems.
Secondary Systems: (1) Advanced generation LASER system.
Crew: (5) 1 – Officer in Charge (OIC), 1 Pilot, 1 Navigation Officer, 2 Weapons Specialists
Notes: Enhanced life support and detection systems indicate that this vessel is more of a sacrificial lamb so to speak than a front line corvette. Kat Lords seem to use these vessels as cheap escorts for medium ranged transports. We have noted no worthwhile defenses aboard this craft to this date.
Medium Escort: Codename "Kam-Rani"
Primary Weapons: (1) Enhanced generation dual firing rail gun system.
Secondary Weapons: None noted. As before external pods or pylons exist that look to be compatible with an enhanced vehicle delivery system or missile rack.
Crew: (6) 1 – OIC, 3 Pilots, 1 Navigation Officer, 1 Weapons Specialist
Notes: Enhanced life support and detection systems indicate that this vessel is similar to the "Kam-Ekh" however, we have noted that the pylons external to the vessel are definitely not racks for missile racks or any other known weapons system. There exists a strong possibility that this craft is a small escort carrier that maybe equipped with light fighters to help extend their range. The enhanced rail gun appears to have a better kinetic round than current rail guns in the TSA and although smaller than previous generations of rail guns and appears to have a higher cyclic rate of fire.
All vessels are to maintain appropriate distances to the Kat Lords vessels and report immediately any suspicious activity. Be warned that although the Kats appear to be relatively friendly and "touchy-feely" we believe that there have been instances where TSA crews that have stayed behind on Prydelan have not did so for the love of the Pryde.
