Review & Commentary On The Type E Pursuit Ship By Michael Johnson For The Clement Sector Rpg or 2d6 Cepheus Engine rpg

 "Hot pursuit!


"The Type E Pursuit Ship is designed to pursue enemy or pirate vessels within the Cascadia system, within potential Cascadian colony systems, or even through the Zimm Point to continue the pursuit.  The Cascadia Naval Service use them as patrol vessels and as an escorts for Cascadia Colonization Authority (CCA) scout ships."


'Always seen in their triple formation, the Type E is a formidable enemy for small naval vessels, pirates, and possibly your characters!"

The Type E Pursuit Ship is a warship and anti pirate ship with little in the way of tactics & variation. Or so it would seem, while this vessel has a role as an  pursue enemy or pirate star ships there's a lot more going on here. The Type E is a ship type with a valiant history and deep roles within the Cascadia system & colonies. These ships are a part of the Cascadian identity. 
Ian Stead and the artists here give a excellent series of pieces of artwork which show off the roles and profile that these ships have. This is highlighted by the excellent writing of Michael Johnson showcasing the role of colony escort and patrol ship. Crews of 22 man these incredible starships out in the blackness and void of space. And while not a main line ship the
 
Type E Pursuit Ship is a nasty customer to come up against. These ships can pursue a ship with powerful drive systems & dive right after the Zim point. 




The Type E Pursuit Ship is the perfect ship for anti piracy actions within the huge unexplored regions of  interstellar space. Because these space craft are crewed by whole cloth crews that can operate entirely on their own. The Type E are the cavalry for the colonies under their patrol. These are perfect  star ships to add to your Clement sector rpg campaign.
