The '''''Catrás''''' class are corvettes of the [[Royal Antoran Armada]], carrying hull code C-G. They are intended to fill the doctrine roles of the retired [[Rége Julían class|''Rége Julían'' class]] frigates and ''Princesa Mariangel'' class corvettes: air defense of large nautical zones and strikes on air, land, and sea targets with guided missiles. Designed in Antora throughout the 2000's as a high-capability, low-cost surface combatant, the warships were created to be the inexpensive modern backbone of the Armada. The corvettes are built by the [[Varentine League|Varentine]] Gilda Varien Shipyards in cooperation with Arsenale Corric out of [[Porta Armada]]. |

Per Armada doctrine, the ''Catrás'' class vessels are dedicated to escort of larger combatants and supply ships, patrol local shipping lanes frequented by Antoran merchant vessels, serve as primary air defense in fleet actions, coordinate and command smaller combatants and patrol vessels in-theater, and interdict major threats to Antoran sovereign waters. While their size and armaments are similar to larger warships, the vessels are classified as corvettes by the Armada. This is due to their limited independant endurance and their role in doctrine to remain in or near to Antoran territory when operating alone. The ''Catrás'' class has thus been earmarked as Antora's primary defensive warships during conflict, as the larger ships would be folded into an [[Inter-Novaran Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance|INTRA]] task force per alliance regulations. |
|||
Six ships are planned; four have been completed and commissioned with the final two expected to be delivered at the end of 2023. Each of the vessels is named after an Antoran district. Designed with technologies derived from the [[Tavaris|Tavari]] [[Rége Arturo class|''Nežeren'' class]] coast guard cutters, the corvettes are intended to last at least 50 years in Armada service with periodic refurbishments and upgrades. |
|||
With the controversial retirement of the Armada's ''Rége Arturo'' class destroyers, the ''Catrás'' class has become the largest combatants in the fleet. Talks are ongoing with the Gilda Varien Shipyards to construct four more of the ships, though funding has been a major concern for Antoran legislators. |

The Catrás class are corvettes of the Royal Antoran Armada, carrying hull code C-G. They are intended to fill the doctrine roles of the retired Rége Julían class frigates and Princesa Mariangel class corvettes: air defense of large nautical zones and strikes on air, land, and sea targets with guided missiles. Designed in Antora throughout the 2000's as a high-capability, low-cost surface combatant, the warships were created to be the inexpensive modern backbone of the Armada. The corvettes are built by the Varentine Gilda Varien Shipyards in cooperation with Arsenale Corric out of Porta Armada.
Per Armada doctrine, the Catrás class vessels are dedicated to escort of larger combatants and supply ships, patrol local shipping lanes frequented by Antoran merchant vessels, serve as primary air defense in fleet actions, coordinate and command smaller combatants and patrol vessels in-theater, and interdict major threats to Antoran sovereign waters. While their size and armaments are similar to larger warships, the vessels are classified as corvettes by the Armada. This is due to their limited independant endurance and their role in doctrine to remain in or near to Antoran territory when operating alone. The Catrás class has thus been earmarked as Antora's primary defensive warships during conflict, as the larger ships would be folded into an INTRA task force per alliance regulations.
Six ships are planned; four have been completed and commissioned with the final two expected to be delivered at the end of 2023. Each of the vessels is named after an Antoran district. Designed with technologies derived from the Tavari Nežeren class coast guard cutters, the corvettes are intended to last at least 50 years in Armada service with periodic refurbishments and upgrades.
With the controversial retirement of the Armada's Rége Arturo class destroyers, the Catrás class has become the largest combatants in the fleet. Talks are ongoing with the Gilda Varien Shipyards to construct four more of the ships, though funding has been a major concern for Antoran legislators.
