Ziyad
Patrol Boat
"Ziyad" is a multi-function military ship derived from the Seraphim-class escort frigate. She is the first of her kind and so the line as a whole is also known as the Ziyad-class. They were jointly designed and deployed after the end of the Nexan War¸ when old Earth and the TerraNovan Theocracy united against the Umbral Empire. As with many "new" designs dating from that tumultuous period¸ they adapt and reuse existing technology as much as possible to cut development time and get new ships into space as quickly as possible.
Ziyad was developed to serve as a patrol boat - operating independently or in pairs as an early warning system or law enforcement vessel. She carries a crew of 18 plus a platoon of 13 marines and a pair of boarding shuttles. The ship is well armed and armored. She has sufficient firepower to deter aggressors¸ enough speed for pursuit¸ and adequate manpower for boarding actions. Since their launch¸ ships of this line have proven to be a cost-effective and dependable addition to the navies of both the ConFederation and Nexan Colonies.
