Sigmarius-class auxiliary support vessel

"Sigmarius":

* 1x 300mm Cannon
* 7x Vulcan Point Defense

The *Sigmarius-class* vessel is the workhorse of the new EFN fleet, designed to do a multitude of non-combat roles as well as provide light combat assistance and Recon/Special forces duties, these vessels have met and exceeded the expectations set for them and their light construction and modular design ensures they will be kept up to date for many decades to come.

## Design details

### Hull and propulsion

The hull of the *Sigmarius-class* is almost entirely made of light strength armour for ease of production of these workhorse vessels, this would usually make the ship undesirable or even incapable of combat however thanks to its rapid charging shields it can assist line vessels such as *Dawn-class* by skimming the edge of enemys combat range, though this is *uncommon*.

Its maneuverability in space is excellent with it outpacing nearly all military vessels of the time, the ship can also seamlessly blend atmospheric and space flight though its performance in a gravity well is moderately reduced.

### Crew and complement

The *Sigmarius-class* vessel even compared to cruiser sized vessels possesses large rooms with accommodation for up to 5 crew, 1 being the captains' quarters at the bow of the ship, with an equal amount of cryo pods. This makes being stationed on one of these vessels a contended position for some more peaceful minded sailors as they are *mostly* sent on resupply, mapping or ECM missions.

The Hangar complement is equally impressive with the ability to accommodate up to 3 transports with a 4th mounted to the quick reaction position if required. The ship can handle small fighter types currently in use across the EFN and fleet systems but its small access hatch and inaccessible landing positions make for a slow and dangerous launch process.

### Armaments

The armament of the Sigmarius class vessel is as expected very light, consisting of 4 Rapid-fire Bofors cannons and a large array of point defense turrets, earlier version mounted missiles to enhance its combat ability however the cost of fielding these fleet wide led to them being discontinued.

The most infamous of the class "Sigmarius" sported a number of additional weapons over its life time, being deployed as the older generation of ship it also carried a 300mm cannon which was carried over to its mid war refit, as the experienced, and lucky ship continued to be pressed into combat as one of only three 6th gen vessels in the system its crew fitted it with additional light cannons, compact missile launchers and towards the end of its voyage a second 300mm making it a formidable vessel compared to its peers.

## Operational history

Sigmarius/2211 AD:

The "Sigmarius" ASV-005 concludes her shake-down cruiser under supervision of Commander Gage, she then berths at Mars for resupply and to rendezvous with her commanding officer, newly promoted Captain Brock.

The ship is deployed to the 11th Fleet system (Wolf) to investigate rumors of an insurrectionist movement growing there, and proceeds to recon the periphery of the gate.

After getting separated from the Sigmarius while investigating an unknown facility, Captain Brock, Commander Gage and Jenkins are retrieved by the Heavy Cruiser "Sword of Dawn" under the command of Admiral Spectre. They are fully briefed on their objectives in the system, to identify and apprehend the leader of the Wolf system rebellion, though it is only viewed as minor at this time and to bring the rest of the 11th fleet into line with earths orders. The Sig crew are also informed of the disappearance of the 6th Gen cruiser, Into the Fray, which is currently in hiding from the insurrectionists.

Laying low and gathering resources on the outermost planet of the system, the crew of the Sigmarius encounter a ???
