Description

The Sho’Kos is a solid mix of short-ranged weapons and fast engines built on a streamlined frame made for darting in and out of dangerous situations. The small, agile vessel is capable of acting in both a cutter and interceptor role for many systems across the Regime. The Sho’Kos is used heavily in trade areas where it can be called upon to enforce Narn law against raider activity and protects the incoming and outgoing investments of their government in the form of the many merchant vessels that ply the space lanes. It is a rare event to find a Sho’Kos on extended patrol as the vessels are not designed for long-term missions. Some are sometimes pressed into service within large battle fleets when war comes near to their common patrol routes – but even then they tend to need supply ships on a regular basis.

The only attempt to give the Sho’Kos value to battlefront fleets, the Sho’Kov variant usually finds its way instead into more specialized patrol duties where its exceptional firepower can give raiders a very nasty surprise. It replaces both burst beams and the medium pulse cannon of its parent ship with a retrofitted ion torpedo launcher from salvage, meaning that the Sho’Kov can manage to cause capital ships some problems if given the opportunity to do so.
