'''Description''': Made in small numbers by the Belt Alliance to deal with the rise in the Earth Alliance’s use of the London-class Light Combat Vessel, the Liberator is akin to a larger version of the Delta-V fighter. Fast and agile, but packing decent enough firepower to deal with other small capital ships, the Liberator saw a great deal of use in its day. Now many of them have found their way into raider or mercenary hands, with a significant number of them hidden away by the Sh’lassan Empire to be used later in their war against ‘Earther Oppression’.

The Liberator once solely used blast cannons as its weaponry, then replaced the insignificant light cannons with particle weaponry traded from the Centauri. Eventually they settled on the fast-firing pulse cannons of the current day model, but some of the older versions still exist. The main blast cannon on the prow of the vessel could not be retrofitted effectively, as too much of its recoil system and ammunition feeds are built in throughout the ship.
