Venerable-class Brig

The is an older pattern of escort, long since retired, and mothballed, or waiting usage in Tithe fleets. While modern at the time of the the War of Beginnings, it has long languished. While few in numbers, the refitted Venerable-class has been utilised as a second line and planetary defence ship by the Sword, who scramble for every operational ship they can manage. Easier and cheaper to rearm than to build a modern ship, they've become popular with smaller Keeps allied to the Sword, being able to more readily upgrade and deploy them. While individually they would not be able to withstand vessels of a similar tonnage, they can quickly swarm them.
