From publisher blurb:
What's the best ship to repsond to a pirate attack or mount a search and rescue mission?
The one you have.
The 'real' Navy might be tens of light years away. Its dreadnought might be patrolling worlds deemed higher priority. Worlds on the frontier have to provide their own protection and a picket is often the best they can afford.
Enter the Kalevala Class Small Picket. Affordable, fast, and enough armament to make a pirate think twice. The ship also excels at search and rescue, transporting precious cargos and almost anything else! Best of all, it won't bereak your defense budget and is economical enough for less developed worlds and private security firms to afford. Buy several to patrol hot spots, serve and protect.
Piracy just got harder.
