Description[edit]
Based on the Federated Suns’ Robinson-class Transport, a pair of which were captured during the early Succession Wars,[5] the Kyushu-class frigate was the initial design of the Draconis Combine’s first generation of post–Clan Invasion WarShips and intended primarily for transport/defense of invasion task forces. Pieced together from parts sourced across the Combine, the Kyushu forms a large portion of the Combine's resurgent WarShip fleet.[2]
With initial construction beginning in 3053 and finishing in late 3057, the class was among the first modern Successor States WarShips completed. While not intended for anti-ship operations, the frigate’s weapons array, Lithium-Fusion Battery, Ferro-Aluminum armor, and Double Heat Sinks allow the Kyushu to defend itself and the units in its care admirably. Double-occupancy cabins for the crew are spread among six decks, each deck containing a mess hall and recreation facility with two grav decks available for use.[2]
Armament[edit]
Like many post–Helm Memory Core Inner Sphere designs, the Kyushu features primarily anti-fighter weaponry supported by a still sizable array of capital class weapons. The nose bays feature two NAC/40, two NAC/20s, two NL35s and a single Heavy NPPC supported by twin ER Large Lasers, two medium lasers, two Artemis enhanced LRM-20s, and five point defense Small Pulse Lasers. The fore angles each feature an NL35, two NAC/35s, two ER Large and two standard medium lasers, two LRM-20s, and five-point defense pulse small lasers, with each broadside bay featuring the same layout while adding a NAC/20 and Medium NPPC. The vessel's aft weaponry mirrors the fore, apart from upgrading the NAC/35s on the aft angles to NAC/40s.
Cargo[edit]
The vessel’s 61,245.5-ton cargo capacity is divided between a small cargo area, combined berthing for eighteen aerospace fighters and twelve Small Craft, and its huge BattleMech bay. The Kyushu's most notable feature, the bay features 108 'Mech cubicles, a complete 'Mech Regiment, which can be transported to a planet’s surface either by transferring to one of the four attached DropShips, two at a time via one of the Kyushu's twelve specially modified cargo shuttles or if the WarShip is in low orbit, directly from the cargo bay via Drop Pods.
- Bay 1: Aerospace Fighters (18) / Small Craft (12), 6 doors
- Bay 2: Cargo (61,245.5 tons), 2 doors
- Bay 3: BattleMechs (108), 2 doors
Related WarShips[edit]
- Robinson Transport - the Kyushu-class frigate was actually based in part on Davion Robinson-class transports captured by the Combine in the early Succession Wars.
