| The Jiangwei is
Manchuria’s answer to the problem of separatist colonies and rebellious
outposts. It is a fast vessel, with an adequate weapons suite,
and the capacity to deploy up to 50 heavily armed Drop Marines as shock
troops. The Jiangwei
may sacrifice its small cargo hold for the capacity to carry even more
troops, or to carry another small lander. Like other Manchurian
warships, the Jiangwei
depends on its JN-19 Silkworm antiship missiles for most of its
offensive punch, though its beam armament is sufficient against smaller
vessels. It has a high thrust main drive for a cruiser, though
this is in part due to the Manchurians’ lack of Long Jump stardrive and
AMPLAR torch drives – ships must be capable of traversing to Jump
Points quickly to cover vast distances in as short a time period as
possible. Unfortunately, the Jiangwei
lacks the propellent reserves to take much advantage of its high thrust
engine, and the design’s delta-vee is limited compared to other
warships. The Jiangwei
is also rumored to be under development with Manchurian factions on Jin
Xian, though how much of these rumors are the result of paranoia and
how much is truth has yet to be determined. |
