Information- The Avarice-class frigate packs a punch for its size. Stark Defense Conglomerate, recognizing the need for dedicated convoy escorts to prevent hijacking and pirate raids upon valuable cargo, partnered with Lorrd Engineering to design this ship. Intended to skirmish with and destroy pirate vessels up to frigate size, the Avarice-class is well-armed and shielded, as well as fast for its intent. While is is intended for the Avarice to serve as the primary escort vessel for Stark Defense Conglomerate the growing Stark Defense Conglomerate Security Corps, which plans to expand into a full-on security branch, this design is primarily created to serve as a contender for the Empire's growing need for fast and well armed patrol frigates, as well as a cost-effective alternative for planetary navies in direct competition with CEC designs.

Information- The Breaker-class modular cruiser was designed by Lorrd Engineering to serve a number of purposes. With a small amount of dedicated crew and a relatively light armament for a ship its size, the Breaker is, in essence, weapons system, engines and spartan crew quarters with an immense midsection that is dedicated to modular use. Within twenty-four standard hours, each module can be swapped out for a different module at a shipyard capable of handling the size craft.

The multitude of modules are intended to serve a variety of purposes. The Module I type is largely designed for ships produced for use by GalacticAid, allowing for rapid response to planets with disasters of nearly any type to provide the appropriate aid and succor. The Module II type is intended for mining and scouting operations for Lorrdian companies, allowing them to recon planets along the Outer Rim and beyond for untapped resources. Realizing the extended time away such a craft can have, it is equipped with a fighter compliment for defense. The Module III option is present for observation and, to a lesser known degree, long-range espionage. Equipped with delicate long range sensors, the Module III type is intended not as fighting, but as a searching vehicle.

Last and not least exists the Module IV variant, intended originally for use by the SDCSC. Sporting heavy carrying capacity for both dropships, APCs and armor, as well as adding additional armaments, the pacification module allows for the SDCSC to quickly respond with force to any strikes against any SDC areas or affiliates. However, with more widespread sale use, easy conversion can be made for Imperial-dedicated vehicles and armors, allowing for quick mobilization of Imperial troops when needed for planetary use and the availability of a Star Destroyer's compliment is not needed or not easily available.

The above pair of vessels are to be the first original products created by Lorrd Engineering. Ten of the Breaker-class with the Module I (hospital) equipped will be created for GalacticAid to more readily continue their work throughout the galactic community.

Totally missed this, obviously; give us two seconds.

this ship is not available for public sale at this time and limited to use by Lorrd Engineering, Vigilance Technologies and Stark Defense Conglomerate.

We just denied this, for this very reason. DENY again. I've been advised to not say anything else here.

Oh, balls. I forgot to actually modify the information. Let me change that really quick. That was my fault.

Okay, so. The Avarice-class―I'd prefer to see the 2 quad turbolasers reduced to something lighter, like 2 dual light turbolasers or some such, to bring the ship's firepower more in line with other ships of its size and class. I would have no problem approving of it under those circumstances.

The Breaker―I take issue with the size. If the scale is what you say it is, the octuple turbolasers are 75 to 80 meters long, the viewports on the sides are similarly-enormous, and the ventral comms dish is something like twice the size of the Millennium Falcon. This could just be a different point of view, but I don't think the ship in the image is meant to be as large as you say it is. It looks more like 800 meters to me, certainly not over 1,000. I should be fine with it as long as the scale is reduced and the crew, passengers, and complements reduced a bit accordingly. That, and it still says this, which has been denied:

You'll find the edits have been made. The picture does show four cannons, so I went with four light quad turbolaser cannons. The Breaker I went with being 900 meters to be fair and I downgraded the numbers on board accordingly. The reason for the cannon size, I'd be willing to put forth, would be an extended barrel allowing for longer-ranged shots. It's not a prow heavy turbolaser by any means, but it will outrange a standard turbolaser. The reason for this is to add a defensive weaponry with increased range to make up for the lack of major weaponry on the ship considering the numbers of passengers it carries.

Well I APPROVE of it, the edits having been made. And without anyone else having objected over the last month I hope no one will mind me calling this APPROVED.
