Known Sphere Of Operation: Empire-wide use
Data Reliability: C for Type-1, D for Type-2
Major Data Source: Project Grey Ghost; Romulan Sector Intelligence
NOTES:
The P-81 was one of several designs put forward in an attempt to create a small, fast and dangerous patrol vessel that could be produced in significant numbers to deter agression from a number of sources. The P-81 was one of the more successful light combat platforms, and became a favorite among border security units along the Triangle and Klingon boundry.
The Type-1, launched in 2277, relied heavily on it’s twin forward torpedo launchers to supplement it’s main disruptors. It’s excelent manueverability and acceleration meant the P-81 could quickly close with an enemy en-mass and overwhelm thier defenses. After-action reports showed that groups of 5 or more P-81 easily engaged enemy cruisers, inflicting significant damage on their targets.
Some time in late 2281, a more powerful Type-2 was believed to have been fielded. This variant has the more powerful RP-2 torpedo, giving the P-81 even greater firepower. Reports also indicate that the main disruptors may have been upgraded as well.
The production facility for the P-81 is not known, although Gorwah and Kalabestasz are suspected. The vessel is named for a Reman night bird that uses infra-red vision to hunt for insects on the dark side of the planet. The avian has a 98% success rate while hunting.
