Amun-Ra Class: The Shadow Frigate "Hidden One"

This project was originally intended as a fully functional aircraft. However, due to numerous challenges encountered during development and my limited experience, I ultimately decided to discontinue it. Perhaps in the future, I may revisit and rework the project, but that is unlikely. If you possess expertise in converting props to functional aircrafts and are interested in making this model operational, please let me know.

// The Expanse - Amun-Ra Class Stealth Frigate - The Hidden One

// Commissioned by the Protogen Corporation and later honorably collaborated with Jules-Pierre Mao in collaboration with The Expanse Team ?✨

// The ship is currently slated for cannibalization to aid in the construction of additional fully functional vessels.
// Consequently, the ship's primary Fusion Drive has been removed, rendering it incapable of flight. It presently serves as a non-functional Testbed.

// Current classifications are restricted. I can only disclose limited information due to close scrutiny by Chrisjen Avasarala, who received a tip from a confidential informant.

// We kindly request your patience until the functional ships are completed. We are diligently working within budget constraints to create a Space Combat Vessel far ahead of its time, equipped with the most sophisticated cutting-edge combat and stealth technologies.

// Personally, I believe you deserve a glimpse of the planned features for future functional ships:

- Fully functional Black Ops Hypercooled Epstein Fusion Drive.
- Internally-Mounted S-24 Khopesh Light Railgun capable of penetrating any target. It will be mounted to her spine at a fixed angle and will only fire forward with limited guidance capability.
// If fired within the Hammer-Lock, the targeted craft will be near instantly disintegrated.
- 2x concealed Rapid-Reload Torpedo Bays.
- High-Speed & Extreme-Range Space Torpedoes equipped with advanced Guidance Systems and multiple Re-Attack Patterns.
/// If fired within the Hammer-Lock, the targeted craft will be unable to evade the torpedo.
/// If fired outside the Hammer-Lock, the engaged craft might be able to dodge it depending on Delta-V. Re-Attack Pattern execution will negate any evasion attempts.
- Over the Horizon Dradis IFF Radar and IR/EM Spectrum Ladar with long-range Target Acquisition capable of targeting any air and space craft at an impressive range.
- 4x Hypercooled Point Defense Cannons that excel in Close Quarters Battle (CQB) and can fire indefinitely without overheating.
- 9x Prototype Black Ops Breaching Pods, also usable as Escape Pods in emergencies.
// Features that will not be implemented and the reasons why:
- Self Destruct. ; I won't allow my favorite ship to be destroyed due to carelessness!!
- Khonsu Class Stealth Shuttle ; Unnecessary as a forward scout, since the mothership will already be equipped with Dradis Radar enhanced with a De-Cloaking Deep Scanner.
- High crew capacity. ; Will be designed and built for minimal crew operation.
- Unable to be locked on. ; That's not how Stealth Composite technology functions ...
- MedLab. ; This is a combat vessel, not a pleasure cruiser...
// The true origins of the technologies will remain undisclosed. (Would you even believe me if I said they were discovered from the Protomolecule?? )
// Planned features are subject to change.
