What to know
The RSI Polaris is a fast capital corvette built for long-range patrol, militia command, search and rescue, and anti-capital strikes. Its 28 Size 10 torpedoes are backed by a fighter hangar, medical facilities, 576 SCU of cargo space, and the systems needed for an extended...
Polaris specifications
A first-response capital ship
The Polaris was designed as a smaller and faster alternative to a full frigate. It can lead a militia group, patrol dangerous systems, support rescue work, and threaten much larger ships without requiring the crew or logistics of an Idris.
Built around speed and flexibility
A fighter hangar, cargo bay, medical station, brig, living spaces, and repair support let the Polaris move between combat and support duties during the same patrol.
More than a torpedo corvette
The Polaris combines heavy strike power with the facilities needed to command, support, and protect a small fleet.
Four launch tubes and rotary feeders give the Polaris sustained anti-capital firepower instead of a single attack run.
The internal hangar can support a small craft such as the RSI Scorpius for scouting, interception, escort, and utility work.
Medical care, cargo storage, repair support, living spaces, and a brig keep the crew ready for long patrols and rescue missions.
Manned and remote turrets are joined by seven point-defense cannons that protect the corvette from fighters and incoming ordnance.
Capital targets within reach
The Polaris uses its speed to reach the fight and its Size 10 torpedoes to damage ships well above its own weight class. The crew must identify the right target, manage a limited magazine, and keep the launch system supplied.
Polaris strike package
Size 10 torpedoes are intended for large, valuable ships rather than the fighters handled by the defensive turrets.
The Polaris can close quickly, launch its torpedoes, and turn away before a larger warship can keep it under fire.
Rotary feeders and nearby storage let the crew prepare follow-up launches during a longer engagement.
Run a long-range Polaris patrol
The Polaris can move from routine patrol to rescue work or a capital-ship engagement without returning to port between every task.
-
Send the fighter ahead
Use the embarked craft to inspect a route, identify a threat, or reach an area that does not need the entire corvette.
-
Coordinate the patrol from the bridge
Share navigation, sensor, weapons, and flight information between the stations responsible for the ship and its fighter.
-
Match the response to the threat
Use the defensive turrets against fighters and save the Size 10 torpedoes for large ships that justify them.
-
Treat casualties and resupply
Bring the fighter home, use the medical station when needed, and prepare the cargo and weapons for the next task.
A corvette built for long patrols
The interior connects command, weapons, flight operations, medical care, cargo handling, engineering, and crew accommodation around one working patrol ship.
The bridge gives the crew the stations needed to navigate, coordinate a patrol, and manage a larger engagement.
The hangar extends the Polaris's reach with scouting, interception, and utility support.
An onboard medical station supports the crew and rescued personnel without an immediate return to port.
The cargo hold supports long patrols and provides space for mission supplies or torpedo reloads.
