==Overview:==
The twenty Epsilon-class Frigates were designed and developed in large part
upon the hull and KF drive systems of the old SLDF Congress-class vessels.
Intended to serve as escort command ships, the Epsilons are the only Clan
vessels that make extensive use of capital missiles--and the sheer number of
missiles that they can throw threatens even the heavy AMS clusters fitted to
the rest of the Clan Common WarShip program. Against aerospace fighters and
DropShips, the Epsilons are true terrors, and these powerful WarShips are no
slouches in ship-to-ship engagements either.
==Capabilities:==
Like their Congress ancestors, the Epsilons mass 760,000 tons and have a
maximum acceleration of 2.5-g's. The Epsilons are fitted with lithium-fusion
batteries, an HPG transmitter, and more than a thousand tons of lamellar
ferro-carbide armor plating, however.
Armament-wise, these ships follow the general 'ammo-only' plan of the
Congress-class in regard for capital weapons, with each arc mounting an
identical array of gun and missile systems: five AR-10 Maelstrom Capital
Missile Launchers (each launcher having 10 Killer Whale, 10 White Shark, and
10 Barracuda missiles), two NAC-25 Naval Autocannon, two ER Large Lasers, two
LRM-10 launchers with Artemis IV (30 shots each), three ER Medium Lasers, two
Streak SRM-4 launchers (25 shots each), and three AMS systems (600 shots per
cluster).
However, despite lacking any energy weapons, the Epsilons are not an easy
target--the Maelstroms allow these ships to generate a withering volume of
fire (while ammunition lasts), and then the concentrated batteries of NAC-25s
finish off the target once they come into range. The design team include
sufficient heat sinks, heat exchangers, and auxiliary power generators to
allow the constant fire of all weapons, plus excess capacity to allow the AMS
clusters to engage multiple missile flights.
Like the ancient Congress, the Epsilon is equipped with two docking collars
and carries just one element of aerospace fighters, although in this case it
is a Star and a not a Squadron. Small craft have been cut to two, however,
but space has been provided to embark a Star of Marine Elementals. Fuel
tankage was expanded to 14,228, while spare parts storage is capable of
holding up to 38,000 tons of equipment. The remaining 44,768 tons are
dedicated to cargo stowage. The Epsilon has a final cargo fraction in excess
of 12.9%.
