VME Hofund-class Destroyer Escort

The Hǫfuð-class Destroyer Escort is a warship by Valkyrja - Maintenance & Engineering, designed for escort-duties and pack-deployment.

Being rather small in size, the ship comes heavily armed with a quad-barrel railgun assembly and a set of 8 Artillery turrets, arranged in a centerline layout, capable of superfire. This gives the Hofund superior offensive capabilities compared to many other warships in her displacement category, enabling her to engage and overwhelm much larger targets.

A selection of secondary weapons, consisting of 25mm Gatling- and Autocannon-turrets provide the Hofund with a potent defense-screen against smaller attack-craft.

This ship was heavily inspired by "The Expanse" novels and tv-series. It comes with many design-elements from this fandom. This includes an interior that is aligned perpendicular to the main source of thrust and the Thruster-layout leans heavily towards a 'flip-and-burn'-style of piloting.
