Resurgent-class

The Resurgent-class is a class of frigates built by Plaz and Jake Lancia, and operated by the Trident Foundries and various small factions.
== Description ==
A stark departure from earlier Trident Foundries' common Gen2 building aesthetic, the Resurgent-class is the prototype of a new design aesthetic aimed at more efficient use of various strategic resources. Heavily inspired by Trinova Technologies' armoured vessels as well as Trident's own Gen3 line of ships, the Resurgent-class cuts a sleek figure in the blackness of space.
Jake Lancia christened the class "Resurgent" as it was the first class of ships built by the resurgent Dominion of Trident, and would spearhead the resurgence of Trident military superiority.
Like the Gen3 line of ships, the Resurgent-class is darker and 'edgier' than older Trident ships. Extensive automation systems and a pilots' neural interface have negated the need for a large crew, allowing many more combat systems in spaces where there would otherwise need to be crew rooms and mess halls, allowing for a far more powerful yet smaller ship than ever before, beating even the far larger Warspite-class in firepower.
The current iteration of the Resurgent-class is armed with a twin phased beam bank located at the extreme front of the vessel, along with a large artillery plasma cannon port.
== History ==
=== 2318 ===
In early July, Jake Lancia and Plaz formed the Dominion of Trident, but they quickly realized they needed new starships due to the Schine Corporation's introduction of Weapons 3.0 and Power 2.1 components.
With the wars of 2316/17 having depleted most of the strategic resources of the former Trident Foundries, much work was put into minimizing the use of these valuable materials as much as possible without compromising performance. The prototype ship was quickly put together by Plaz' team and sent on a shakedown cruise in the LvD Galaxies in mid-July, along with the TRV Insurgent of the same class.
Also in mid-July, IKCA assaulted the Trident base in a fairly large vessel, and Jake and Plaz scrambled both of the Resurgent-class vessels in an attempt to stop him. TRV Insurgent was quickly lost to superior firepower, and only the quick reactions of Jake saved the TRV Resurgent from falling as well.
=== 2319 ===
In April, a ship of the class was extensively rebuilt to use the new Gen2.1 armouring method and vastly stronger systems, which resulted in the new Resurgent II-class frigates.
== Usage ==
The Resurgent-class has, in addition to its primary role as assault frigate, been used in the following roles:
* Escort
