CPWS Aggregate General
The CPWS Aggregate General is a Type-F warpship designed for sustained ship-ship combat as well as extended warpspace travel. Often times Type-F warpships are seen on the fringes of Coalition space where they will conduct reconnaissance or smuggling missions far beyond Imperial borders.

Description:
Tarsin shipyards have long been famous for being the only suppliers of warpships to the Imperial armadas. Each ship is assembled with the utmost care in the zero-G shipyards of Tarsis' outlying moon. There, every warship undergoes a lengthy construction period, often spanning many years with more complex vessels being constructed with only estimates on launch dates.
The time and care taken when constructing a warpship are absolutely necessary to ensure the ship's drives and sensors are in perfect tune. Sometimes warpships are completed but stay in drydock for several months as their systems undergo the most extreme of tests. Thousands of warpjumps are then required for the ships to be considered combat ready, and often a captain will retire before he has seen the enemy.
Warpships, unlike other Coalition vessels, travel almost exclusively through Warpspace and will communicate with the material universe in short bursts relayed via automated Warpspace beacons. In combat warpships are unpredictable opponents and will emerge into the material for only a moment to loose a deadly volley of fire onto an unsuspecting enemy. Though captains rely heavily on this hit and run tactic, warships are capable aggressors in open combat and each deck bristles with hundreds of ship-ship cannons, missile bays and countermeasures.
I'm back in the game. This is the first Coalition ship to be officialy* released in just over three years. Enjoy!
