The Norus Class frigates were introduced near the end of 2019 by the Vindictus Ove as a mean to replace the outdated Unata Class destroyers.

The Norus was designed as a mean to take up multiple role, from territorial patrol and exploration, interceptor, and front line combat.

Development

The Norus Class ships are part of a new directive of the Vindictus Ove to integrate the bridge within the ship hull, providing a sleek concealed environment and increase crew survivability during combat.

The development and construction of the Norus, lead to a large number of Unata Class frigates were being dismantled for scrap, as the ship failed to continue adapting to Terran naval strategies.

The Norus’s bulky design and large rift thrusters allows the ship to quickly navigate through low planet atmospheres and provide high mobility, but sacrifices the defense capabilities of a Unata.
