The "Bricriu" Corvette Class
The ships of the Bricriu class actually predate the formation of the NEO. The"Bricriu", first vessel to bear the name, was launched from Dock 3A at the Shangri-La Colony of "Zoa" the L5 colony cluster in U.C. 0074. It was the first patrol ship commissioned by the Orbital Colonies to defend the cylinders in case the endless wars "spilled out" of the Earth atmosphere. The ships proved to be exceptionally sturdy and rugged, and so the design was not retired in U.C.0080 as originally planned, but merely updated with modern equipment. The original scatter missile launchers were replaced by the now familiar kinetic kill cannon clusters when the Neo-Orbitals took over in 0084. This lowered the firepower in favor of greater range and accuracy. The Bricriu class is expected to be replaced by a new, more advanced design in the next decade.
