Description
The Silverback Coastal Cutter is an updated version of the ancient Silverfin Coastal Cutter employed by the Lyran Alliance's wet navy forces. The hydrofoil was geared to safe guard high-value "blue-water navy" ships such as the Jormungand Bluewater Cruiser. These ships are highly prized by Milita Navies in the Alliance for their Electronic Warfare capacity; because they are lightly armored, though, Silverbacks must rely on their speed and ECM for self-defense. Three of these ships were known to be permanently stationed on Blue Hole as part of the escort force for the BHS Brynhild.
Armaments & Capabilities
Three Machine Guns are mounted in the Silverback's forward turret with a half ton of ammunition, and are guided by an Advanced Fire Control system. However the ship's most prized piece of equipment is its Guardian ECM Suite, a necessity since the ship's hull is protected with only one ton of substandard armor. The Silverback also carries a searchlight and a lifeboat.[1][2]
Cargo
The ship has one ton of cargo space.
