It essentially performs as a mobile ship repair yard that can dock other starships of up to 2,000,000 tons for repair, maintenance, or construction.<ref name=EC106>''Explorer Corps'', p. 106</ref> The ''Faslane'' class is arbitrarily considered a [[WarShip]] class because of making use of a [[Compact Kearny-Fuchida Drive]] and its respectable armament that includes naval-class capital weapons.

These were sent to the [[Terran]] system, where they joined [[The Republic of the Sphere]] Navy.<ref>''Interstellar Expeditions: Interstellar Players 3'', p. 114</ref> ==Armament== Nominally a non-combat vessel, the ''Faslane'' class nevertheless carries a sizable array of weapons. Capital weapons include eight [[medium NPPC|Medium NPPCs]] on all angles, two [[NAC/10]]s facing front and aft, and two broadside mounted [[NAC/20|NAC/20s]], with 40 tons of ammunition for each NAC class. Unlike many Star League era warships, the ''Faslane'' has notable anti-fighter defensive armaments, comprised of 32 [[ER Large Lasers]] and 16 [[LRM-20]] systems slaved to [[Artemis IV FCS]] units. It is armored with 100 tons of [[Ferro-Aluminum]] armor that is only really intended to protect against accidental collisions, not stand-up fighting. ==Cargo== The entire front of the ''Faslane'' is an unpressurized repair bay. Massing 50,000 tons, this portable drydock has the capacity to service vessels up to 2,000,000 tons. The ''Faslane'' is also equipped to carry supplies and matériel for its repair work. * Bay 1: [[Small Craft]] (2), 2 Doors * Bay 2: Cargo (137,405 tons), 2 Doors * Bay 3: Unpressurized Repair Bay (200,000 tons), 1 Door ==See Also== * [[:Category:Individual Faslane-class WarShips]] ==Notes== *While it previously was asserted by a ''BattleTech'' writer that all six of the ''Faslane''-class yardships were destroyed by the [[Word of Blake]],<ref>[http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,12222.0.html Catalyst Game Labs Ask The Writer Forum], Øystein, "All of ComStar's Faslane-class YardShips were destroyed by the Word of Blake."</ref> this was amended soon after by ''Interstellar Expeditions: Interstellar Players 3'', which stated that three yardships survived and were based at Terra. ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Explorer Corps (sourcebook)|Explorer Corps]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: ComStar]]'' * ''[[Interstellar Expeditions: Interstellar Players 3]]'' [[Category:ComStar WarShip classes]] [[Category:Small WarShips]] [[Category:WarShip classes]] [[Category:Yardship classes]]
