TIGRESS CLASS DREADNOUGHT

FORMER THIRD IMPERIUM


Back to the Starships and Spacecraft contents

Though a Tigress class dreadnought has never been detected by vessels of the Alston League, it is possible, given the normal deployment of Tigress squadrons in units of eight, one per sector, that a surviving vessel could be found. Imperial literature from the pre-collapse period stated that the vessels were capable of Jump-4 and 6G maneuver. It is felt by Alston League authorities that the maneuver drive capacity is overstated and that a Tigress is capable of 3G.

Commanders are warned to pay attention to any small craft in the vicinity of a Tigress, it is known that each vessel could carry up to three hundred heavy fighters.
