alrighty then..
Ioto Galactic Enterprises in conjunction with Federated Boeing Interstellar offer the Ysengrim Destroyer, a potent yet affordable defensive platform forged in the fires of generations of naval combat. Developed from the already proven design of the Fox class Corvette, the Ysengrim expands and improves on success. Twice the mass and at nearly twice the length of the standard Fox, it features greatly expanded firepower and a redesigned weapons layout optimized for efficiency, as well as more powerful engines and enhanced defenses. Embarked compliment has been tailored for the customer, with two stars of aerospace fighters and a full star of Small craft standard compliment, and capacity to carry three binaries or two trinaries of embarked battlemechs, as well as a full binary of Battlearmor Marines. For potential customers in the Free Worlds League and Federated Suns, we also offer a version configured for three squadrons of fighters, a battalion of battlemechs, and fitted with standard squad sized battlearmor facilities. All personnel for these embarked units have been provided with their own crew quarters to ensure optimal crew morale. Firepower is enhanced and standardized, with batteries of Class Ten Naval Autocannons and Class 45 Naval Lasers. Four Naval Autocannons each fore and aft, and a six in each broadside (all with 15 shots in ready magazines) give heavy firepower, while arrays of quad naval lasers on each flank allow you to reach out and hurt someone at extreme range. Each flank also mounts a pair of Barracuda Missile Launchers with a twenty shot magazine. Every arc mounts a heavy defensive array of eight large Pulse lasers and Eight Antimissile Systems, sufficent to deter both fighters and enemy missiles. Nine hundred and sixty tons of Improved ferro-aluminum ensures that it can take an extensive pounding even of the active defenses fail. Capable of a maximum thrust of three gravities, and equipped with a Lithium Fusion battery system, the Ysengrim is mobile in both tactical and strategic theaters, although as per the contract specifications the fuel endurance has been reduced by half over that of the Fox, to a total of one hundred and forty one days, or a little under five months. All this capability for only Thirteen point five billion C-bills, a savings of nearly three billion less over the smaller and less capable Fox.
Background:
the Ysengrim Destroyer was a design that began in the late 3060's, as the Word of Blake Jihad heated up and Naval fleets of both the Lyran Commonwealth and the Federated Suns begane to see severe attrition. In a joint-national project intended to help heal the gap between the two nations, Project Reynard was established bringing the existing producers of the Fox Class Corvette together to develop a new design. Envisioned as a Destroyer sized version of a Fox which would share a large amount of its systems, the design saw rapid evolution as the Jihad progressed and the flaws of the existing naval designs were revealed. Unfortunately as the design was finalized and funding for the prototype was being sought, The Jihad ended and Stone's Naval Treaties put a halt to most new warship production. The Design was shelved, and updated regularly. The design languished unused for decades, even in the face of recent naval expansions. The design did not fit the specifications and doctrine of the Federated Suns navy and thus did not even get submitted for consideration, while in Lyran space corporate and political issues prevented it from being submitted as well. It has been reworked for the Export market in light of recent events, initially for the Rasalhague Dominion, but sales to the Free Worlds League and Federated Suns are anticipated by both Ioto Galactic and Boeing-Interstellar in light of recent events.
the Ysengrim's optimized for Inner sphere unit organization have received the informal nickname "Reynard class" by the design team, after the original project name. the Ysengrim designation was chosen to make it more appealing for the Rasalhague market.
Visually the Ysengrim class resembles a Fox, but continues the conical shape until it is twice as long as a Fox. Much of the structural design is shared, in fact the entire forward half of the ship uses almost the same structural and hull elements as a Fox, aside from the revised weapons mountings.

IS technology was used because it will be built in states with limited clantech production. where applicable the systems could be refit later to use (C)LPL and (C)AMS by the buyer.
