These small combatants operate alone or in small groups doing "Coast Guard" duties (customs cutters, traffic enforcement, anti-piracy patrols, convoy escort) or as escorts to capital ships (where they mostly shoot up other escorts and auxiliaries and maybe fighters).

Serendip "Tree" Class Fleet Escort (former Neubayern "Flower" Class Escort)

Notes: This is the standard light escort. It is used as an anti-fighter
screening ship, and sometimes sees use as a convoy escort or courier.
This ship has a frozen watch. It has fuel scoops and a fuel purification
plant.
Cost is MCr5,771.1 individuall

(Note that these are captured Neubayern Flower class ships.  Neubayern
believes these to have been destroyed, so admission of possession would
probably lead to war.  Several have been refitted already, the rest are
scheduled for refit.  Refit plans are in among the mass of stuff sent by
the previous player.)

Serendip Mark I Death Egg: Bukephalos Class Escort

Bukephalos Class ships are named for warhorses and other famous horses.

Note that though the jump engine is large enough to support jump-3,  the
interior  fuel tankage is only enough to support jump-1.  Drop tanks and
exterior tanks will be able to increase this.

(Since the two parts are of equal size it seems reasonable to average
out the armour for the combination. Hope you agree.)

This would be the replacement for the Grant and Dolphin classes.
(Question: Is there a need for a ship in this weight class?)

Space and energy allocated for up to model 9/fib and up to

forward fire control duties.  The Alliance may want to
consider this ship as a replacement for the Berlins.  It is
undergunned for a 10K ton ship, but it can direct fire from
up to 52 missile batteries firing from extended range.  While
performing that function, it has considerably more firepower
than a standard 10K ton design.

Added 18 Gunners to ship.
