Wolfpack-class Assault Frigate

The Wolfpack-class Assault Ship has a multi-purpose role in the MMA Navy. The ship can carry a number of Elemental infantry and Battlewalkers, making it useful as a heavily armed transport, or it can fight in space.

As the name shows, the Wolfpack is intended to fight in groups, typically at least three. Unlike its "sister" ships of the Warclub class, most of the weaponry is mounted on the curving side sections of the ship, although the wide firing arcs made possible by such shapes mean that a considerable amount of weaponry can be focused forward as well. Standard tactics for ships not carrying troops are for them to use their above-average maneuvering capabilites to circle a ship, firing at it from all directions. If a weakness appears, the ships can turn inward and make slashing attacks at the exposed flank.

Special Notes
As with all MMA-produced combat vessels, the ship features the innovative syntharmor repair system. A network of tubes run thoughout the outer hull; in the event of a hull breach, the system uses high pressure to squirt a fast-drying, tarlike substance across the breach, which temporarily will patch the hole long enough for personnel to escape to more safer compartments. In case of larger breaches, a network of tiny cables is first shot out to provide additional support and stability to the patch. Once dried, the syntharmor, in addition to sealing the hole, provides the equivalent protection of a panel of phototropically treated transparisteel. The duration the patch will hold for depends on the size of the breach.

As also standard, a set of backup shields rated at one-third the power of the ship's standard shields exists. Finally, the vessel also features the new PDS, a network of rapid-firing rotary blasters which provide excellent anti-missile and anti-starfighter defense, in addition to the ship's standard weaponry.
