History:

This is a new ship designed by Ravenstar Shipyards to provide Colony and Freighter Defense, as well as to give the Orion Space Navy (OSN) the appearence of a legit, full Navy. They are produced at two different Shipyards at a rate of 4 per year, and are clearly designed with a Klingon/Romulan influence, as well as making use of stolen Photon Torpedoes and the heaviest Orion Disruptors, until the advent of the OD-6 Proximity Disruptor in 2290, with a "normal" (difficult to gauge, as Orions tend to bootleg and/or steal designs and systems from other races, with an "anything goes" attitude towards business and design contracts) ovular command pod, connected by a short boom to a Stardrive that, from the top, is shaped somewhat like a Crossbow, with the front of it curving in a crescentlike shape, and the back tapering into a wedge and ending into a boxy shuttlecraft/impulse engine area that also contains 1 Type L Drone Rack that, like the Drones on Klingon and Kzinti Ships, are often used for messages or target practice, but are sometimes fitted with Nuclear Warheads and used as weapons.

Noteworthy Vessels/Service Records/Encounters: O.P.C Crossbow; - Prototype, engaged Nausicaans at Tortuga (2281), O.S.N Casivendad; - named for Grand Palace of Ograthi the Boisterous, as well as major Tropical Port on Maracas, one of the few highly competant OSN Patrol Ships operating in the Orion Colonies.
