Description

The Pursuit-class combines a broad, shallow forward hull with an elevated aft engineering and command section. Its forward twin-barrel turrets engage fleeing ships while secondary defensive emplacements cover the flanks. The internal flight deck accommodates a configurable fighter detachment, with auxiliary berths supporting boarding and liaison operations. Patrol commanders employ the class for route security, interception, and escort duties rather than sustained line combat.
