==Description==<br />
Built for the [[Taurian Concordat]] as a defensive vessel, the '''Foxhound''' is a product of the nation's need for protecting its borders from unwanted incursions. Intended for short-endurance patrols, the ship carries limited fuel and a small crew for its missions.<ref name=TRO:Pp182/> <br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
Using a blend of [[Advance Technology]] that was acquired during the Concordat's brief technology exchange with the [[Word of Blake]]. The craft's long-range weaponry includes a pair of Extended Range Large Lasers mounted in the nose. On each of the craft's sides, exist its most potent weapons; Improved Heavy Gauss Rifles. Each of the Rifles are fed by four tons of ammunition which keep these weapons well fed throughout combat.<br />
<br />
The Foxhound's defensive capacities consist of two Laser Anti-Missile Systems split between the nose and its aft sections. To increase its survival in the rigors of heavy combat, the craft is protected by 16.5 tons of Heavy Ferro-Aluminum armor, while its engines propel the craft at a modest rate speed to be able to intercept potential targets.<ref>''Technical Readout: Prototypes'', pp. 182–183: Stats and capacities</ref><br />
<br />
==Design Notes==<br />
The craft is fitted with Steerage-Class style quarters for its crew.<br />
