Regulus Class Frigate (ATwT)

==Overview==
The Regulus-Class Frigate a ship of the line created by Regulan Fief, for purpose of subjugation of nearby worlds and destruction of the Manei Domini. 
The ship was introduced as part of the Alternate Timeline with Thanks fan story universe by Dragon Cat, whom created the background for the ship, Ship designed by Corsair SG.
==Known Ship History==
The Regulan Fiefs was the only nation to field this warship, having launched the first two ships in 3085 from Clipperton shipyards of Irian Technologies.
Ships have been deployed by Regulan Fiefs to subjugated independent planets. Having bombarded worlds refusing the yield to them. 
As for the Regulans tactics against anything that smells of Blake they are going to attack with extreme prejudice. 
They are also not below outright threats against neighboring worlds if it gets them forward a strategy that is beginning to backfire on them with Bowangs unnoposed expansion when Regulus was occupied by the Manei Domini.
The ship's plans were destroyed after one the ships were used to bombard Clan Sea Fox's enclave on Kyeinnisan. The class number would grow to 5 by service by 3092, prior to the shipyard's sacking by the Sea Foxes.

===Notable Vessels===
*RFS Clipperton - Launched in 3085, it was actively deployed to subjugate independence worlds. In one mission, after government refused yield, the ship bombarded the planet's cities. The ship was destroyed in Clipperton system in 27th September 3093 by Clan Sea Fox after the ship bombarded Clan's Enclave
*RFS Gibson - Launch in 3085
*RFS Norfolk - Destroyed in defense of the Clipperton system in 27th September 3093 by Clan Sea Fox task force after the ship bombarded Clan's Enclave.
===Deployment===
The Regulus class appeared by surprise to the people of the Free Worlds League and the Inner Sphere, from Clipperton shipyards the vessels were launched in 3085 from a yard that had previously only built Agamemnon-class Heavy Cruisers. The first two vessels the Clipperton and the Gibson as soon as they were launched two more vessels began construction.

===Weapons and Capacities===
The Regulus has decent armor and engine acceleration capabilities which would allow it to keep up with most fleet vessels and survive some decent hits. Built around the rugged frame of a Congress-class Frigate the vessel has a decent structure as well as Lamellor Ferro-carbide armor for the very best
type of protection. The hull also carries a Lithium Fusion Battery for full tactical flexibility.
When arming the vessel, the Regulans armed the Regulus with only one real purpose - Orbital Bombardment - though the Regulans have said the vessel is built to claim territory the vessel’s forward armament and rumors of its weapons grid show they are built around destruction. Up front the Regulus carries a Light Mass Driver that stretches its mainline, under the Mass Driver is a single Killer Whale Capital Missile Launcher, both these weapons are supplied with plenty of ammunition, for the Killer Whale it is rumored each Regulus carries a nuclear tipped warhead for one of its missiles coupled with the Mass Driver makes the vessel a potent weapon of mass destruction.
In each forward flank the vessel’s armament is more conventional with six class-55 Naval Lasers which when configured as an Anti-Aircraft Battery make a potent weapons array against any target, alongside these weapons are two Barracuda-capital missile launchers with plenty ammunition.
For a broadside the vessel has four light Class-20 Naval Autocannons and four Medium sub-capital cannons spread in two central-line turrets. These weapons were originally designed to be able to fire into the forward arc however tests showed this plan was flawed, instead they sit in conventional mounts. 
The aft quarters and aft array has a similar set up to the forward arcs the arcs have class-45 Naval Lasers and paired Barracuda-class capital missiles while aft there is a Killer Whale Capital Missile Launcher along the ventral central line just rear of the Light Mass Driver’s assembly, like the forward launcher it is rumored to have a nuclear warhead in reserve.
