The Thetis-class Fast Attack Corvette is a rare classification of Corvette, mostly used by Navy Special Operations Command (NAVSOC). The Thetis began its life as a heavily modified Hermes-class Corvette, seeing numerous upgrades and design changes to accommodate its purpose. Its new role is that of a rapid assault ship, to ferry special forces too and from combat zones. To accommodate that it has larger internal space, more hangars, more weapon systems, heavier armour, active camouflage systems and electronic support systems. In fact, the end result bares little outward similarity to the Hermes-class it was based on.

abstract
  • The Thetis-class Fast Attack Corvette is a rare classification of Corvette, mostly used by Navy Special Operations Command (NAVSOC). The Thetis began its life as a heavily modified Hermes-class Corvette, seeing numerous upgrades and design changes to accommodate its purpose. Its new role is that of a rapid assault ship, to ferry special forces too and from combat zones. To accommodate that it has larger internal space, more hangars, more weapon systems, heavier armour, active camouflage systems and electronic support systems. In fact, the end result bares little outward similarity to the Hermes-class it was based on. The ship's weapon set up is similar to that of the Terminus gunboat, with five forward facing M37 Rampage Light Naval Guns, and one forward facing Lancer naval gun and a single rear facing Rampage LNG. It has all round air defence capabilities for protection against missiles and fighter constellations. It is fitted with ten Fury pods, consisting of 40 Fury missiles each. To facilitate its support role, it can also be fitted with an external launcher pod, carrying either seven RGM-145 Marksman cruise missiles, or a Kinetic Weapon Pod, carrying three 'heavy' and seven 'light' kinetic energy weapons, allowing it to preform pinpoint accuracy, close in defence for teams on the ground. These missiles can be used to engage defensive positions, enemy concentrations, identified targets or a variety of other targets. It can even provide nuclear weapons support with these cruise missiles. For deploying special forces personnel, the ship has five launch bays, each capable of holding a Pelican, or variant thereof. These bays are standard launch bays, with outward facing bulkhead doors, though the rear launch bay can carry two pelicans, which can, with certain manoeuvres, preform gravity drops right off the launch ramp. On-board, the ship has the ability to host 100 personnel and their equipment, with large cargo bays and cramped crew quarters capable of carry large crew complements. The ship also as on-board briefing area, tactical command centre and electronic warfare suite, allowing the ship to preform vital support missions and preform command and control missions. The can also preform orbital insertions, with the capability of landing and disembarking directly. It also has the facility to launch drop pods as well. The ship was fitted with a wide suite of stealth technology, such as enhanced hull shape, designed to deflect RADAR waves away from it, advanced materials designed to mask it's presence, a active camouflage field, obscuring it across the electromagnetic spectrum, enhanced sensors, enhanced and heavily encrypted communication systems and engine baffles, allowing it to operate freely without fear of detection. It also had heavily reinforced armour and large, powerful engines, capable of giving it excellent speed and high manoeuvrability, especially at close 'knife fight' ranges. The ship's TOC consisted of a sealed room, consisting of a faraday cage externally, protecting the room from simple and advanced forms of intrusion. Inside is a well fitted command room, with enhanced communication stations, a central holographic display and a wide beam holographic emitter, allowing the supporting A.I. to deploy anywhere in the room, with whatever digital image they needed to represent. The room allows the command crew to observe the ground team through their own camera systems, aerial reconnaissance or satellite reconnaissance. The briefing room was similarly equipped, to ensure secrecy and display holographic information, related to mission objectives. The electronic warfare suite consists of a sealed room, with systems for hacking electronic and cybernetic systems, with the crew fully equipped with defensive systems against counter attack. The Thetis-class FAC was most commonly used when small special operations teams, mostly for counter-insurgency missions, or small unit missions, far behind enemy lines.
