Gepard Fast Corvette
design by Oliver Albrecht
TL 14 - Fast Rider Corvette / SDB GEPARD-Class This vessel was constructed in
the early 970's as part of a Imperial Navy contest for a fast and very offensive
little rider on TL-14 basis. Delta Rhombus Yards' contribution was the
GEPARD-Class rider. In the final jury decision it made the 8th place in the
ranking and Delta Rhombus settled into a financial crisis. Years later however
many smaller systems showed interest in the ship and in the following years the
GEPARD found its way into many system defense squadrons. Around 1000ti over 300
were (mostly under license) constructed throughout the imperium. Since then it
has gained a reputation as a formidable craft against more lightly armed
opponents, such as pirate vesseles typically are.
The IMPERIAL SPACETECHNOLOGY
OBSERVER has written the following about the GEPARD: "...a surprisingly agile
craft. And once the engineer kicks the throttle open, few things are more
impressive than the 8 Geeeees that really hurt with only 5 of them
compensated... Usual tactics is the ship lies silent in the void, waiting for
its prey. Once its formidable passive sensor array has detected the foe, just a
little burn, and the GEPARD closes in with tremendous speed... The particle
accelerator is a smashing hazard to all enemies within 2.3 light seconds. It
maintains its punch up to 4 lsecs and does enough damage to render small targets
completely inoperable with 2 or 3 hits... All in all nothing you would like to
be against!"
