Utilizing new technologies that had become available, their engineers used the ''[[Achilles (DropShip class)|Achilles]]'' assault [[DropShip]] as the basis for the new design. The ship is designed to intercept and capture inbound/outbound vessels, using its superior speed and the threat of its superior firepower. The ship also hosts a marine complement, to seize and secure captured vessels.<ref name="JHS:3076p118+"/> == Deployment == Since it premiered, the ship has been seen deployed in pairs to Blakist held worlds or assisting [[Shadow Divisions]] in their special operations. As of [[3076]], roughly 30 of the design have been seen in various star systems. The ships had been used to interdict smuggling as well attack runs. A highly notable use of the ''Interdictor'' was in the second battle of [[Odyssey]], where two of the ships were used in the brief recapture of the [[Ruins of Gabriel]] by the Blakists. These particular ships fought Coalition forces and managed to use nuclear weaponry to destroy a sizable chunk of Gabriel before leaving the area. One of the ''Interdictors'' was destroyed in the course of the battle with the [[Clan Ghost Bear|Ghost Bears]] in May, [[3075]].<ref name="JHS:3076p118+"/> == Weapons and Equipment == The ''Interdictor'' is heavily armed with capital and conventional weaponry. Principal anti-WarShip armaments include two [[AR-10]] launchers with six [[Killer Whale]] and fourteen [[Barracuda]] capital missiles. The ship is also equipped with two experimental Sub-Capital Cannons with forty rounds shared between the guns. The ''Interdictor'' also has an array of Nine-tube Multi-Missile Launchers, guided by Artemis IV Fire Control Systems, including one dedicated protecting ship's aft quarter. The ship is also equipped with [[Technology Rating|advanced tech]] weaponry, including twenty [[Variable-Speed Pulse Laser|Large Variable-Speed Pulse Lasers]], backed up by nine Heavy Particle Projection Cannons. The Heavy PPCs round out the ship's offensive armaments, while some of the above-mentioned weaponry is found in every section of the ship. As for defense, the ship has been equipped with nine Anti-Missile Systems in all its weapons arcs. The Blakist engineers equipped the ship's main engine to push the ship to a maximum thrust of 11, with 400 tons of fuel. The ship's hull is protected with 112.5 tons' worth of [[Heavy Ferro-Aluminum]] armor.<ref name="JHS:3076p118+"/> == Cargo == The ship has three transportation bays. Cargo Bay 1 is the home to the ship's hangar for two [[small craft]] with 2 launch bay doors. In Bay 2 is an Infantry Bay, where the ship's 36 battle armor enhanced marines are quartered. The bay has one access door. Bay 3 is the ship's cargo bay. It can store up to 566 tons worth of dry storage, and has two access doors.<ref name="JHS:3076p118+"/> ==Variants== *;''Interdictor'' Anti Ship : This second variant of the ''Interdictor'' is an anti-shipping vessel developed in [[Introduction Year::3075]]<ref name="MUL1"/>, instead of the interdiction/capture ship described earlier. The design is externally identical to the original design. However, the ship has been given an array of anti-ship weaponry at the cost of its marines, cargo, and missile weaponry. The ship's capital and sub-capital weaponry includes a Killer Whale launcher (10 rounds), 1 [[Piranha (missile)|Piranha]] sub-capital missile launcher with (10 missiles), 4 [[sub-capital laser/1|sub-capital lasers/1]] in each wing, and a pair of [[medium sub-capital cannon]]s, with one in each wing section. The ship's conventional weaponry includes 10 HPPCs, 14 large VSP lasers, and 5 anti-missile systems. The ship's cargo capacity been reduced to 128 cargo tons (with 2 doors) and only retains enough room to carry a single small craft.<ref name="MUL1">''[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/4365/interdictor-pocket-warship-anti-ship/ MUL online entry for the Interdictor (Anti-Ship) variant]''</ref> *;''Interdictor'' SCC-Class : This version of the ''Interdictor'', introduced in [[Introduction Year::3078]]<ref>''[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/4366/interdictor-pocket-warship-scc/ MUL online entry for the Interdictor (SCC) variant]''</ref>, is used extensively by the [[Republic of the Sphere]]. After seeing how effective anti-missile systems were, the Republic's ''Interdictors'' remove the capital and sub-capital missile launchers and replace them with two nose-mounted [[medium sub-capital cannon]] and a sub-capital laser/1 in each wing. With the increased space available, engineers increased each MML bay to hold three launchers and more ammunition and added three more heavy PPCs to the nose. A total of twenty large VSP lasers now cover every arc, and seven anti-missile system protect the ship. The remaining space (as well as some room from the cargo bay) was devoted to upgrading the marine's crew quarters, permitting longer deployments.
