Pike-class

The Pike-class is a modern class of heavy frigates designed by Mr Crazy and previously in service with Trinova Technologies and Trident Foundries. The class was decommissioned after the invention of the Auxiliary Reactor, and not used since.
== Description ==
Comprising a long, thick frontal section (with all four of the ship's plasma cannon barrels) and a relatively wide main body, the Pike-class was a relatively large ship compared to other Trident frigates. It was also heavily armoured to match.
== History ==
=== 2316 ===
In early 2316, Jake Lancia approached Mr Crazy about designing a new class of frigates based on the new aesthetic. Mr Crazy took five days to come out with a new hull design for the class.
Not long after the Trinova-Trident split, Azereiah set about fitting systems into the vessel, snaking specially-designed docked batteries through the ship to maximise power output. However the vessel was still underpowered for its size, so was only used in the defensive roles.
=== 2317 ===
In early February, Lancia began a purge of old ship classes that could no longer be updated with the changing times. Unfortunately, the Pike was one of the first to go.
== Usage ==
The Pike-class has, in addition to it's primary role as Frigate, been used in the following roles:
* Diplomatic ship
* Area denial
