Freelance Traveller
Overview
The Condor SDB is an advanced craft manufactured by a number of different builders. It is most famous for its luxurious crew accommodations, with a single small stateroom for each crewmember. But she is no excursion craft, as she carries a wallop: a primary armament consisting of a 900 MJ Spinal NPAW backed by a brace of 220 MJ double laser barbettes and a single missle barbette. Armor is mediocre, and her endurance suffers from the emphasis upon crew comfort. No small craft is carried, and the ship is mostly limited to exoatmospheric operations. Her primary assignments emphasize short range or static defensive operations, such as gas giant patrol or fast responder interception roles.
It is primarily found in regions Behind the Claw, and among the planetary navies of the Regency of Deneb and a half dozen other nationalities. Outside of the Spinward States, the class was also a common sight within the rimward border regions of the former Third Imperium, particularly with the Aslan Hierate, and less commonly with the Solomani. About one hundred of these ships operate with Regency world forces, and sixty more defend important RQS installations in the Frontier. During the Fifth Frontier War, Condors operating in the Efate system (SM 1705) challenged Zhodani Stedlas-class SDBs protecting the shipping supplying the Consulate siege forces, creating a romantic mystique unusual for so utilitarian of a craft.
Note: The Condor was originally designed for Adventure Ships 1 by J. Andrew Keith. Stats from that book were provided courtesy of Richard Perks.
