The Anvil U4A-3 Terrapin is a deep-space armored scout ship utilized by the United Empire of Earth Navy (UEEN). Outfitted with sensitive long-range scanners, it is used for long duration reconnaissance and leg patrol missions where crewmembers might need to be separated from support facilities for weeks at a time. The spacecraft is encased with heavy armor and an oversized shield generator that allows it to survive skirmishes with lighter raiding craft and extreme environment.[1][2]

Features

Reconnaissance
The Terrapin is used by the UEEN for overwatch, long-endurance picketing, and to add reconnaissance capabilities to the fleet, as well as extending the Navy's ability to provide a patrol presence to border systems that couldn't be allocated capital ships or large fighter garrisons for defence.[2][3]
Explorer
It is a favored explorer ship among UEE military veterans who opt to continue flying after their service, many of them having already come to know its reliability, ease of repair and never-say-die attitude.[4] As secondary roles, it is said that the Terrapin can be used for both Search and Rescue and as Troop Transport.[5]
Cooling Mechanism
Due to the Terrapin's thick armor, the ship has insufficient capacity to vent its heat. To vent this excess heat, the armor panels can be retracted, a mechanic that has been described as 'coming up for air'.[6]

Lore

In 2796, the UEE ship assessment review team led by Vice Admiral Galen Whishaw was commanded by the High Command to assess if the Terrapin should be included in the UEE military.

Trivia

  • The ship is named after the species Terrapin which encompass a variety of small turtle species that inhabit freshwater or brackish environments. The term "terrapin" originates from the North American Algonquian word "torope," which specifically referred to the Diamondback terrapin species.[7]
