OUDFS MODULAR FLEET AUXILIARYs Jaika
Jaika and Jerildree
As outfitted during the Siege of Sol
During the Siege of Sol the OUDFS Jaika Jaika and OUDFS
Jerilderee carried 8 Gunpack modules each. In the two remaining
slots the Jaika Jaika carried a Defence/Escort module and one of the old
Numbat P-torp modules, while the OUDFS Jerilderee had *two* P-torp modules
- not because they expected to use the P-torps much (single-arc P-torps
don't agree very well with thrust-2 engines!), but because they needed the
extra FCS capacity. Both ships survived the Siege; after the first
couple of encounters, the Kra'Vak generally preferred to stay well away
from them!
