LORE DROP // SHIP PROFILE: Vektari-Class Intercept Frigate

Introducing the Vektari-class Intercept Frigate—Galatea’s answer to a thousand tactical questions no Terran commander even knows they’re asking.

Designed for:

• Rapid interdiction

• Blockade disruption

• Covert exfiltration

• Courier ops across contested space

With a top speed of 0.075c, and a silent-mode cruise at 0.042c, the Vektari-class is among the fastest human-made vessels in operation by 2275.

It holds only a dozen crew. But in the hands of a Core-certified pilot, a Vektari can insert a team into a blockade blind spot, intercept a Terran vessel, or disappear mid-pursuit by unfolding its profile into a gravitational null signature.

THE TECHNOLOGY OF ELEGANCE

Every curve of the Vektari's hull serves a function:

• Dual-Core Pulsed Fusion Drive (PFP v7.3):
  Micro-fusion bursts channeled through vector-throttled nozzles, with adaptive thrust geometry for instant directional shifts.

• RGIM (Reciprocal Gravity Inducer Modules):
  Utilizing Kastner-Schlatter Relational-Transactional Gravity Theory, the Vektari generates internal gravitational equilibrium without spin or mechanical parts. It creates gravity as negotiation, not mass.

• Hull Materials:

  • Silicetron: for micro-puncture resilience

  • Magnetite Foam: for field dampening

  • Graphenium overlays: for emissivity masking and EM stealth

• Verse-Integrated Ghost Skin:
  Allows the ship to blur within Verse-mapped tactical spaces, spoofing sensors and appearing “absent” in networked awareness.

DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE

Despite its cutting-edge design, the Vektari’s layout is minimal and intuitive—built for 20 crew, most of whom rotate between tactical interface, gravity modulation, and communications.

Pilots describe the ship as "an extension of will", not a machine, thanks to the Verse integration.
