 ==== Escort Vessels ==== ==== Escort Vessels ====
  
 +Escort vessels are generally delegated to support roles in the NSL fleets, and aren't expected to necessarily stand against similar ships of enemy navies. However, this does mean they are over-gunned for their size, with relatively weak hulls, so when supported by cruisers and fighter screens they can be deadly.

-This is the lightest of the NSL's warships, and +
-is really little more than a Jump-3 drive with +
-a beam battery attached. It is designed for +
-scouting systems in the borders of NSL space +
-(either alone or in groups). Standing orders are +
-normally to flee from anything that might start +
-shooting. +

-Based on the hull of the //Falke// scoutship, +
-the //Arnhem// has had its drives reduced in +
-size and the space given over to a larger beam +
-battery, doubling its effective range. It is not +
-designed to operate alone, but in concert with +
-heavier vessels. +

- +
-The //Stroschen// is a much heavier version of +
-the //Falke//, and performs a similar role. It +
-is little more than a platform for two medium +
-beam batteries. +

- +
-Designed for light escort duty and heavy assualt, +
-the //Erenhold// has anti-fighter defences +
-as well as two medium beam weapons capable of +

- +
- +
-Equipped with a wide range of beam batteries, +
-the //Waldburg//'s role is to provide a large +
-amount of beam fire from long range down to +

-NSL Destroyers have always been designed to +
-deliver a large amount of damage at close range, +
-and the twin pulse torpedo tubes are more than +
-capable of doing this. The limited arc of these +
-weapons can be a problem, but the single light +
-beam turret ensures that it can always hit +
-something even if out manouevered. +
