Re the Havoc Frigate/Praetor Frigate/Onager/Chaos Havoc Raider/Chaos Infidel Raider/Meritech Shrike Raider ships, I'm just trying to come up some coherent deep background as a basis for the fluff for this series of ships. It does not ALL have to fit into the fluff descriptions
We have two ships built pre-Heresy, one first built during the heresy and three supposedly first built after the Heresy, all based on the same hull.
Praetor Class Frigate: Pre-Heresy. How did the Praetor become a frigate? Havoc Class Frigate description in 2010 calls the Praetor a
destroyer while the Havoc is a frigate.
2010 Havoc Class Frigate: Pre-Heresy.
Onager: Heresy era ship. Would not Heresy era Onagers be built out of already existing Havoc frigates instead of building a "new escort"?
It seems likely that the plans for this pre-Heresy ship have been floating around the galaxy, not to mention ex-Heresy ships fleeing to the Eye of Terror and still existing as well as being replicated, all leading eventually to:
Chaos Havoc Class Raider: M36
Chaos Infidel Class Raider: M40
Meritech Raider: M41
Suggested hull development flowcharts:
Preator Class Destroyer > Chaos Havoc Class Raider > Infidel (All are torpedo equipped ships)
Design aspects incorporated into: Cobra
2010 Havoc Class Frigate > Meritech Raider (With additional non-Imperial technologies added.) (Weapons batteries only)
Design aspects incorporated into: Sword
Having two different ship classes named Havoc is a bit confusing. Not sure how Onager would fit in. Could be an offshoot of both designs.
Traitor Fleets
Heretic Light Cruiser
Predecessor to the Dauntless (which fought in the Heresy), but first noted appearance in M32?
Is this in BFG:R? It isn't in the ASC….
This is a comment on BFG:R Traitor Fleets, not ASC
