And these would be what sizes? Hopefully:
Sahaabah CL (mass 54)
Jibril CH (mass 74)
Hattin CH (mass 90)
My proposed specs are as follows:
Sahaabah (Companions) CL
mass 54, NPV 185
MD 6, no FTL
14 hull 4433
3 armor
3 PDS
2 FCS
4 B2
2 SMR
These are named for the companions of the Prophet (on whom be peace),
particularly those who were around him during the battle of Badr and
other important events. The class's lead ship is Miqdad ibn al Aswad.
Jibril CH
Mass 74 NPV 268
MD 4, FTL
18 hull 5544
4 armor
Screen 2
4 PDS + 1 ADFC
2 FCS
Sensor-E
7 B2 (2 x F/FS/AS, 2 x AP/FP/F, 3 FP/F/FS)
Other weapons combinations are possible, of course--eg drop 3 B2 and
add 4 PDS + 1 ADFC for a CH-E, or drop one B2 in favor of 2 B1
Named after angels
Hattin CH
Mass 90 NPV 310
MD 4, FTL
22 hull 6655
5 armor
Screen 1
4 PDS + 1 ADFC
3 FCS
2 B3 (FP/F/FS) (sometimes replaced by 2 SMR + 2 B2)
4 B2 (2 x F/FS/AS, 2 x AP/FP/F)
2 B1
