Jason Blockade Runner

undefined

The Jason is a class of blockade runner constructed by the Post-Human Republic. Unlike its sister class, the Odysseus, the Jason's mission profile is broader and better suited to first-strike operations. Using its oversized drives and spectrum-dampening technology to reduce its signature, the Jason can jet past enemy screens to reach its targets of choice, typical enemy strike carriers or key capital ships. Once the gap has been closed, it can deploy its twin heavy calibre mass drivers or its unique atmosphere-capable kingfisher drones to great effect.

The UCMF has noted that the Jason's design is at odds with the usual operation of the PHR - that being high durability and high firepower. Its extreme speed indicates that the PHR are not incapable of developing fast-moving ships, but that they simply choose not to in favor of other design considerations. The Jason's performance has been noteworthy enough that the UCMF has commissioned their own version of the ship in an attempt to level the playing field.
