ARQUEBUS CLASS SYSTEM DEFENCE BOAT

ALSTON LEAGUE


Back to the Starships and Spacecraft contents

The Arquebus class was just entering service with the Alston navy when virus struck the system. Most were destroyed, either by virus itself or in battles against virus infected ships. Four vessels of this class have been returned to service with the Alston League navy. Though undeniably useful the short range of the vessels main armament has placed some restriction on the types deployment.
