Troubadour class patrol ship
The United Worlds Commonwealth
Back to the Starships and Spacecraft contents

The Troubadour class patrol ship are small vessels designed primarily for customs inspections and routine patrol work. Like most small warships they are a tight design, but when used in their designed role are quite effective. Naval authorities classify Troubadour class vessels as sloops and use them as light escorts. In times of need Troubadours operated by customs and other authorities can be "navalised."
