Ansha Starship Cooperative

Erlir Class
Erlir In Action!
600dton Patrol Cruiser

The Erlir Class Patrol Cruiser is built by the Ansha Starship Cooperative on Ansha. Ansha has long been in a state of cold war with the nearby world of Gadirur.

When the Imperial expansion came Ansha quickly become a member of the Imperium. Ansha benefited from its membership in the Imperium by gaining allied against Gadirur while the Imperium gained a means of keeping Gadirur, which had been hostile to Imperium advances, in check.

The Erlir Class Patrol Cruiser is the first ship to be built by the Ansha Starship Cooperative that is fully compatible with Imperial Naval Service standards.

Despite full comparability with INS standards, the Erlir class is distinctly different from typical Imperial vessels in appearance. Like all ship built on Ansha the Erlir has a very organic shape.

Even more striking than the shape are the wild colour schemes that are exhibited on Ansha ships. The abstract color schemes are painted on the ships by artist priests, who while having to follow certain guidelines still maintainmuch freedom to determine the ship's final apperance.

Notes: The ship has 24 bunks, 5 large staterooms and an additional 20 tons of facilities to accommodate the ship's crew and two additional passengers. While at full acceleration, 4Gs, the ship's crew can operate a full efficiency as long as they are strapped into their work stations. However, in order for damage control operations to take place the ship can only use a maximum of 3Gs of acceleration. The ship's 4 laser batteries with five lasers each can easily be configured to operate as 2 batteries with 10 lasers each and would have a rating of (+4) 1/9-9-5-3. There is only enough fuel for the power plant to run at full power for 3 months
