Zhodani Frigate G-FU21 Jadsva MCr318.2
The Shivva-class Patrol Frigate is an ubiquitous Zhodani Navy design; it is the most frequently encountered of the types deployed on and beyond the Consulate frontier districts. The class is often deployed well beyond Zhodani borders. Sample names (-va = light, thus Shivva = moonlight): Alekrva, Brnava, Doruva, Jadsva, Jirtodva, Loyhva, Mielrva, Shivva, Uturva.
The Jadsva is tasked with picket duty in and around District 268. It sports the Chiata M/4 jump drive, the Biafrchtev mF/2 maneuver drive, and the Tobrjde M4+i power plant, giving performance of Jump-4 and 2G acceleration. Fuel tankage of 224 tons supports 2 weeks of maneuver in addition to one jump-4. It has a fuel purifier, but no fuel scoops, relying on a 50 ton fuel shuttle to scoop fuel for it (requiring eight skimming runs at a gas giant). The ship carries 11 other craft: a 50 ton fuel shuttle, and ten small fighters.
The Jadsva requires 18 crew: an Astrogator, 11 pilots in 8 staterooms, 2 engineers, 3 gunners in 2 staterooms, and 1 medic. There are no passenger staterooms, and no low berths. The astrogator is also a Psionic Adept with Remote Mentation ability, who in addition to normal astrogation duties serves as a Commcaster between the ten fighter pilots.
