FLEET DATA: The Thalan Class Swift Frigate is the answer to the Federation's defiant class and the Hideki class Cardassian 'fighter'. She's swift, well armed for her size and well armoured. Her primary mission is incursion and close range defence of Romulan bases. They, using their advanced cloaking capiblities to slip past enemy sensor grids are also used by main fleets as a vangaurd to main attack force, though this job is currently purely theoretical and has yet to be applied in the field, but the performance of the Vithrel in simular attacks has proven this to be a very feasible plan. Another important feature of the Thalan is that her manuevering systems allow for faster movement, infact durring testing the small ships have proven adept at 'hull hugging' something untill this point only the Federation Defiant class could do with much success, the idea being forcing the enemies arcs of fire limited by flying close to the hull of the enemy ship while striking against the hull at close range. Also this new manuevering system has proven it's self in longer range attacks as well, earning the nickname of 'Kestra' a swallow like buid native to Romulus, known for it's swooping manuvers and the speed at which it does it (in game terms the manuevering system effectively lowers the size value when targeting to -1 size category)
SHIPS OF NOTE/SERVICE RECORD/ENCOUNTERS: Prototype IRV - Thallan, encountered and defeated a Nausicaan mercenary group operating in Romulan space. IRV- Kestra, succesfull run into Klingon space and returned with data on their border defences.
