Zhodani Shivva Patrol Frigate

BARD PAPER: SARA50655

Shivva Patrol Frigate

The Shivva is a venerable design, almost three hundred years old. First constructed at Shivva/Shivva (Foreven 0403) in the 920s. Dozens of different versions exist or have existed during its long history, as the Zhodani merely recycled the basic hull form through many different evolutions, mostly of TL 13 and 14 construction. The version below is the current Post-Collapse variant (otherwise known as the Shivva Mk 27) and is used by the Zhodani Navy and its allies for border and quarantine patrol. This particular model also exists in considerable numbers with quarantine forces in the Avalar Consulate and the Thirz Empire.

The Shivva has seen service in the last three Frontier Wars, primarily in screening light attack squadrons. The ship is neither very robust or fast or long legged, but it is without peer as a small carrier and picket ship.

Designer Notes: Considerable variance exists between this design and the design listed in various CT and GT technical manuals. I have no apologies for this. The original Shivva had a shuttle, and two more 8 or 10 ton fighters. Alas, space limitations required that I delete them, and beef up the design with streamlining and 3-G. All in all, the designs capabilities are not dramatically different from the published Shivva.
