Renaissance-class Frigate

The Renaissance-class Frigate is the most advanced Jade Worlds-designed vessel in existence.

Details
When the shipyard over Joy was begun, Governor Tugawa launched a new line of Jade Worlds-designed capital ships. The Renaissance-class was designed for anti-pirate operations, as a direct counter to the Black Nova ion dreadnought. Its heavy guns can overwhelm most ships of corvette size in minutes, allowing the Jade Worlds to capture valuable intelligence and materiel. Half of its anti-starfighter weapons are small ion cannons.

It saw battle only a few weeks before the Jade Worlds declared independence. Only two have been constructed: the Renaissance and the Mercy's Wake.
