Hull Structure
The patrol ship is characterized by its cylindrical hull shape. It is said that German design and the metric system were used. The artillery includes a small Wave-Motion Gun in the bow, a positron turret (known as the MK.12 twin 127mm guns), and two triple torpedo tubes (MK. 32, 324mm) on each side of the front of the hull. In addition, behind the lower twin turret is the departure and landing port of carrier-based aircraft (presumed to be a Cosmo Seagull).
Bridge
The radar system on the upper bridge and lower hull is thought to be designed for patrolling and searching for enemies during independent missions. The radar on the bridge is equipped with blue rotating lights and holographic signal flags to communicate with other vessels during fleet operations. The signal flags can be displayed in four rows on each side of the bridge. It is said that these flags evolved from the international signal flags and NATO signal flags of the previous centuries.
Escort Ship
A small Wave-Motion Gunship designed to expand the Wave-Motion Gun fleet
The escort ship was built after the war against Garmillas based on the Wave-Motion Gun fleet concept. It is equipped with the Wave-Motion Engine of the Earth Federation Defense Forces. The class D (Dreadnought) was to be the main force of the fleet, but as the battle against the Gatlantis expanded, it became essential to expand the fleet. The need for more productive vessels arose, so a smaller, more easily mass-produced frigate was developed. This became the escort ship. Less than half the size of the Dreadnought class, it combines the offensive power of the Wave-Motion Gun with high mobility, and has excellent cost performance.
The mass-produced escort ships were deployed to the front lines in preparation for the Gatlantis invasion of the solar system. Twenty of them were deployed to the Enceladus defense fleet in Saturn space. However, in their first engagement they were unable to fully demonstrate their mobility in the high-gravity environment, and were forced to struggle against the Gatlantis vanguard fleet led by Baruze.
