▄███████████████████▄ ▀██▄ Encryption: None
In light of both recent losses and mission parameter alterations, Vulain Corporate State is announcing a new class of rapid response multi-role cruiser. The flagship of this new class and its namesake, the VCS Intariss, has almost been completed. Apart from final systems checks and point defense installation, the VCS Intariss stands ready to lead the Vulain Corporate State Security Forces (VCSSF) into a new era against those who would threaten the safety and sovereignty of the Syndicate States and their allies.
Recently reappointed CEO Tydorius Vulain provided a personal tour of the vessel, as much as secrecy would allow. We were not permitted to know the location of the refit yard, and the ship itself was even moved out of drydock for the inspection lest we recognize the facility.
(Please note that exterior support, detailing, and point defense has not been implemented at this time.)
The Intariss-Class is equipped with massive maneuvering thrusters to allow it to engage multiple targets at range with its main cannons. Raised armor plating protects critical components while cutting repair costs on armor replacement. The ship is even designed to retreat in reverse in order to continue engaging targets while maintaining range.
Being a multi-role ship, the VCS Intariss is shown with a ship to ship siege cutter. This particular weapon can engage at several kilometers and can cut through the strongest of armors. Additional weapons are being designed with the same mount in mind so that a single ship can be fitted for a new roll in a matter of hours instead of weeks.
Multiple point defense positions are being built into the hull at this moment. Once that is complete, the vessel will be fully crewed and deployed on several test and training missions - Including those missions issued by the Syndicate States in the reclamation of nearby sectors as our enemies withdraw and fortify.
The Intariss-Class has housing for a full crew, passengers, and multiple platoons worth of soldiers. The ship is designed with counter-boarding in mind.
All Intariss-Class vessels will have a state of the art medical facility. CEO Tydorius informed us that a full medical and disaster relief version of the Intariss-Class would soon follow its military predecessor to fight plagues, famine, and provide recovery and rescue operations.
The core of the Intariss-Class is fully modernized with enough power to run for decades without refit.
Our crew thought they should get a few shots of the pristine corridors before they saw the wear and tear of boots.
Instead of maintaining a full mess, the Intariss-Class saves crew requirements by utilizing molecular food 3D printing technology as well as small mess areas attached to each barracks. The meals are almost as good as those they get at home - Though balanced for perfect deep space nutritional needs.
We weren't allowed to ask any questions about the core, just provided a quick glance inside. It appears that no corners have been cut in the construction of the VCS Intariss.
Lastly, we were given a tour of the bridge. Unlike ships in the past, there is no auxiliary or observation bridge on the Intariss-Class. In fact, there are no windows whatsoever. The bridge uses sophisticated sensor equipment to reconstruct the entirety of its surroundings on large holographic screens. Our enemies have been vicious, and windows were an easy target. When your enemy has no desire to participate in civilized warfare, adjustments must be made to account for their lack of humanity.
This is all we have been permitted to show of the VCS Intariss, but our enemies and allies can rest assured that Vulain Corporate State is rejoining the fight with a vengeance.
