PH106 Arkaz Torpedo Frigate

Phystyulons

The Arkaz is one of the few dedicated torpedo vessels in the Physyulon Star Navy. As Phystyulon torpedoe are short ranged and compartivively low tech, they are supplementary weapons most often used for some limited anti-cluster effect, rather than the more typical long-range anti-ship operations that most powers that have torpedoes use.

The Arkaz is as such, a light, agile vessel with surprisingly good shielding and armour for its size, to best close to the optimum weapons range. It mounts four double-fire torpedo tubes – two forward and four rear, though power consumption typically prevents it from using both forward and rear and once.

The Arkax has two score of light lazer cannon turrets for close defence, which also means that it can be quite dangerous to engage at close range.
