−	The '''''Interdictor''''' was first built by the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]] after its military had suffered a number of defeats and lost a considerable amount of its [[WarShip]] assets. Utilizing new technologies that had become available, their engineers used the ''[[Achilles (DropShip class)|Achilles]]'' assault [[DropShip]] as the basis for the new design. The ship is designed to intercept and capture inbound/outbound vessels, using its superior speed and the threat of its superior firepower. The ship also hosts a marine complement, to seize and secure captured vessels.<ref name="JHS:3076p118+"/>	+	The '''''Interdictor''''' was first built by the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]] after its military had suffered a number of defeats and lost a considerable amount of its [[WarShip]] assets.

The ship also uses its marine complement to seize and secure captured vessels.<ref name="JHS:3076p118+"/> == Deployment == Since it premiered, the ship has been seen deployed in pairs to Blakist held worlds or assisting [[Shadow Divisions]] in their special operations. As of [[3076]], roughly 30 of the design have been seen in various star systems. The ships had been used to interdict smuggling as well attack runs. A highly notable use of the ''Interdictor'' was in the second battle of [[Odyssey]], where two of the ships were used in the brief recapture of the [[Ruins of Gabriel]] by the Blakists. These particular ships fought Coalition forces and managed to use nuclear weaponry to destroy a sizable chunk of Gabriel before leaving the area. One of the ''Interdictors'' was destroyed in the course of the battle with the [[Clan Ghost Bear|Ghost Bears]] in May, [[3075]].<ref name="JHS:3076p118+"/> == Weapons and Equipment == The ''Interdictor'' is heavily armed with capital and conventional weaponry. Principal anti-WarShip armaments include two [[AR-10]] launchers with six [[Killer Whale]] and fourteen [[Barracuda]] capital missiles. The ship is also equipped with two experimental Sub-Capital Cannons with forty rounds shared between the guns. The ''Interdictor'' also has an array of Nine-tube Multi-Missile Launchers, guided by Artemis IV Fire Control Systems, including one dedicated protecting ship's aft quarter. The ship is also equipped with [[Technology Rating|advanced tech]] weaponry, including twenty [[Variable-Speed Pulse Laser|Large Variable-Speed Pulse Lasers]], backed up by nine Heavy Particle Projection Cannons. The Heavy PPCs round out the ship's offensive armaments, while some of the above-mentioned weaponry is found in every section of the ship. As for defense, the ship has been equipped with nine Anti-Missile Systems in all its weapons arcs. The Blakist engineers equipped the ship's main engine to push the ship to a maximum thrust of 11, with 400 tons of fuel. The ship's hull is protected with 112.5 tons' worth of [[Heavy Ferro-Aluminum]] armor.<ref name="JHS:3076p118+"/> == Cargo == The ship has three transportation bays. Cargo Bay 1 is the home to the ship's hangar for two [[small craft]] with 2 launch bay doors. In Bay 2 is an Infantry Bay, where the ship's 36 battle armor enhanced marines are quartered. The bay has one access door. Bay 3 is the ship's cargo bay. It can store up to 566 tons worth of dry storage, and has two access doors.<ref name="JHS:3076p118+"/> ==Variants== *;''Interdictor'' Anti Ship : This second variant of the ''Interdictor'' is an anti-shipping vessel developed in [[Introduction Year::3075]]<ref name="MUL1"/>, instead of the interdiction/capture ship described earlier.
