The York is a clan refit of the old Riga design from the Star League. They added a lot in their overhaul and refitting of the ship. It now carries 50 fighters, 2 small craft, has an LF battery for two jumps, and has a lot of weapons, and armor. It’s good, quality design, and our repair of it will obviously replace damaged weapons and such with Inner Sphere ones, but it’s still a good, strong Destroyer with a carrier back-up role and 2 droprings
The Essex carries 10 fighters and 10 small craft. The Essex is known for doling out a ton of weapons, and having lighter armor though. It’s like the Vulture omnimech or Rifleman of WarShips design. The clans didn’t do that many changes to it post clan. The Essex must be escorted, because it only has naval class weapons. But it has a lot. It can destroy a DropShip in one salvo. Normally it would have an updated computer and tracking system, but that was destroyed in the battle, so we have to use an inner sphere one instead. 0 droprings too
We need a ton more fighters, and it’s getting harder and harder to get fighters on the market.
Did you know that?
Between 3054 and 3058, the Word of Blake helped the Free Worlds League, their ally, salvage more than 8 WarShips from before, and stripped down and found around 14 other WarShips, two of which were given to the Blake as a gift from the League.
Blake has been all over recovering WarShips, that ComStar knew about for centuries, and building a huge fleet.
