Lance class (type II) heavy sloop
The Grand Duchy of Grenadine
Back to the Starships and Spacecraft contents

The Lance (type II) class heavy sloops are a variation on the slightly older type I version. Virtually identical, the principle change has been the replacement of the janus mounted N-PAWs with a more conventional spinal mounted weapon. The change allowed both a boost in the weapons power and a somewhat increased range for it.
