From publisher blurb:
“Ziyad” is a multi-function military ship derived from the Seraphim-class escort frigate. She is the first of her kind and so the line as a whole is also known as the Ziyad-class. They were jointly designed and deployed after the end of the Nexan War, when old Earth and the TerraNovan Theocracy united against the Umbral Empire. As with many “new” designs dating from that tumultuous period, they adapt and reuse existing technology as much as possible to cut development time and get new ships into space as quickly as possible.
Ziyad was developed to serve as a patrol boat – operating independently or in pairs as an early warning system or law enforcement vessel. She carries a crew of 18 plus a platoon of 13 marines and a pair of boarding shuttles. The ship is well armed and armored. She has sufficient firepower to deter aggressors, enough speed for pursuit, and adequate manpower for boarding actions. Since their launch, ships of this line have proven to be a cost-effective and dependable addition to the navies of both the ConFederation and Nexan Colonies.
