Scarborough

Tier I - Attack

A curious attack submarine that calls back to a lost era.

As wrecks pile up on the ocean floor, the increasing need to salvage these hulks has become every day. Spend any time with submariners who have traveled the harrowing caves and they will recount to you stories of those desolate vessels that are outlandish, extraordinary, and sometimes true. Many have taken to the habit of dropping depth charges onto such wrecks, cracking them open and hopefully dealing with what may lurk inside.

Noticing the practice of “Knocking” as some submariners call it, Submarine designers set to making an attack vessel that specializes in delivering charges on a precision basis. Taking a page from distant historical war machines of far-off earth, the idea of a Bomber became increasingly interesting to manufacturers.

The “Scarborough” class of attack vessels are the accumulation of this research. Small, compact vessels not much bigger than a Dugong – capable of relatively cheap manufacture but featuring a robust durability. Seeing increased manufacture, these sturdy and small vessels serve as excellent attack vessels for their asking price, more readily available than far more powerful ships at higher tiers. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
