SVS Indomitable-Class Assault Frigate

Description:
With the recent acquisition of Eriadu Shipyards, Sluis Van Shipyards have begun expanding their range. Using old schematics and designs utilized by the Galactic Alliance Remnant during the Siege of Manaan, Sluis Van Shipyards have begun manufacturing these vessels once more under the SVS brand. Due to their iconic history, these ships are often purchased by rogue or rebel groups, and are of particular appeal to the more organized rebel movements, as well as independent clusters such as the Manaan Alliance.

Though the Indomitable-class Assault Frigate saw limited action while serving in the Galactic Alliance navy, it was honored as a powerful vessel in its own right and a vital addition to larger fleets. Serving as a glorified, heavily armored troop transport, the Indomitable-class was also hardy enough to patrol remote systems solo and protect massive numbers of troops from being shot down in alternative, lighter dropship vessels, effectively reducing overall casualties.

Capable of atmospheric flight, the Indomitable-class could safely transport up to 4,000 soldiers into the heart of battle. Due to the sheer size of the vessel, it was well armed to defend against anti-air turrets, many of which are not designed to take down such massive capital ships. On descent, the vessel could also provide withering fire to the battlezone, and was able of capably clearing a landing zone for itself.

When it was not utilized as a transport, the Indomitable-class fielded sufficient shielding and weaponry to undertake alternative duties, serving as a base of operations for military operations in star systems, escorting the larger destroyers, or forming a battle group of it's own. While it was not the first preference in large-scale ship-to-ship combat, the Indomitable was a significant enough presence to deter rogue or rebel strike forces, and has sufficient capability to take out gunships, corvettes, and even smaller frigates with little difficulty.

The Indomitable-class also boasted sufficient room for a squadron of starfighters of its own - often long range, multirole vessels, such as the R-25 Rogue were deployed. The vessel also utilized Mon Calamari shield technology, allowing for a double-redundant system that made the vessel exceptionally difficult to overwhelm. Addditionally, four massive sublight engines provided a considerable amount of thrust that allowed the vessel to keep pace with even lighter corvette craft.
