This speed comes at a price, with a relatively light ninety tons of [[Lamellor Ferro-Carbide]] armor in comparison to its weapons array and exceedingly cramped crew quarters made even tighter with the inclusion of a [[Lithium-Fusion Battery|Lithium-Fusion Battery System]]. With one tiny and constantly in demand [[Grav Deck]] the only dedicated recreation facility aboard, each ''Zechetinu'' rarely spends more than a month away from port to avoid negative effects on the crew.<ref name=TRO:3067p196/><ref name=FM:FWL/> The first ship of the class exceeded all expectations during mock battle exercises and quickly led the [[Free Worlds League Military]] to authorize construction of a further ten. Analysis of these exercises also led to the bulk to be constructed as the newer '''''Zechetinu II''''' standard with a slightly modified weapons array. ==Armament== The Block I ''Zechetinu'' features a significant capital-grade weapons array supported by a large volume of anti-fighter systems. The fore and aft weapon bays both carry twin [[ER Large Laser]]s, four [[Small Laser]]s, an [[LB 10-X AC]] and [[Artemis IV FCS]] enhanced [[LRM-20]] and [[SRM-6]] launchers in support of a [[NAC/20]] and twin [[NL35]]s. The forward facing angle features twin ER Large Lasers, four Small Lasers, and an LB 10-X AC for anti-fighter duties while an NL35 and [[NL45]] provide capital grade firepower. Save for replacing both capital lasers with a single [[NL55]], each rear angle features the same mix as the fore angles, while apart from dropping the capital lasers entirely, each broadsides mounts the same weaponry as the fore and aft bays. One thousand and seventy-three [[double heat sink]]s give the class reasonable endurance.<ref name=TRO:3067p196/><ref name=FM:FWL/> ==Cargo== Beyond its ability to carry a single [[DropShip]] and six [[aerospace fighter]]s, the ''Zechetinu'' features thirteen thousand, eight hundred and seventy-six tons of cargo capacity divided between two separate bays.<ref name=TRO:3067p196/><ref name=FM:FWL/> ==Variants== *;Zechetinu II : Starting with the FWLS ''Scorpion'', all future ''Zechetinu''s are constructioned to the Block II standard and feature capital-grade missile systems in place of the naval-laser batteries of the Block I ships, with two [[White Shark]] tubes forward and aft, with a single [[Barracuda]] missile tube on each fore and aft angle.
