DISCLAIMER: Early staging of AIN. Common theme; almost all turrets are from Gmodism due to the fact they make very diverse and good-looking turrets. This includes alot of the hull mounted weapons. Later creations will have my own stuff. These ships are my first attempts at "larger" creations with the new power system so things might look wonky here and there.
////////////////
The pirates have been on the back foot with the creation and use of the Pyrrhic, resulting in a fading need to be on the defense. High Command has made this clear and wants to begin strikes on key pirate outposts in local space. Battlegroups of Pyrrhic were sent on expeditions but it was soon discovered that they do no possess the firepower to crack the thick shielding and armor of the pirate bases. Few casualties were sustained but it was made clear the Pyrrhic would never have a role beyond lightweight pirate chasing and defensive formations within a larger fleet.
ARD has been assigned to fix this. After redesigning the Pyrrhic hull (elongating and generally making it bigger) the corvette classification turned into a frigate classification. The Barboros was born.
Mounting with more guns than before, this includes 4 more double barreled cannons, 3 more anti missile arrays and a much higher velocity rail gun (cannon instead of missile), the Barboros has become the new pack leader of AIN punitive raids where the aging Bronco Cruiser once excelled.
