Blame Mojang for the delay on this one. I made the mistake of opening my build world in 1.13 after the world format update, which basically locked me out of using MCEdit until I could find a way to get it back to 1.12. Fortunately Amulet came along, and while it doesn't have mirroring yet (the only thing I really use MCEdit for), it can transfer worlds to different formats. I was almost done anyway, but it was nice to put the last finishing touches on the model. No major interior bits because I forgot how time consuming the process is, but enjoy what bits I did put in! This is much more heavily based on a specific BSG fanon design, which I've included in the credits below. The included .zip file has both the .schematic and a world file, since I know MCEdit has been iffy with transferring item frames and signs correctly. Please feel free to comment on the ship, the lore, anything!

The Concordia class frigate is a continuation of a long line of Aenean interstellar patrol craft, albeit beefed up from her predecessors. In keeping with the same wariness of extraterrestrial contact and the need for heavier intercolonial security, Concordia was designed from the ground-up as a FTL interstellar frigate, like a smaller version of the contemporary Genera class destroyer also in development. With a larger reactor, faster engines, and more powerful weaponry than earlier frigate designs, Concordia vastly outperformed her predecessors, with a price tag that even Aenean budget hawks could stomach. Concordia and Genera both served as technology testbeds for even heavier combatants under construction, while rapidly annihilating piracy on the major space lanes through sheer firepower. Like the Genera, Concordia's main strength lies in her missile armament. Too small to mount a plasrail of sufficient power, the ship compromises by employing laser ignited rounds in her primary railgun turret. Upon firing, the projectile is rapidly heated by a laser mounted immediately abaft the breech of the gun, heating the tungsten slug and giving it a slight improvement in destructive power. While the upcoming Service Life Extension Program for the initial batch of Concordias is looking into mounting newer, more efficient plasrails, the Navy is as yet undecided. The gunnery armament is relatively lackluster for a reason. Concordia is the smallest ship in the Aenean fleet packing the versatile and powerful SGM-590 Felkor antimatter antiship missile, and she carries six of them; nearly the same amount as a Genera. While she carries only a fraction of the smaller VLS-launched strike missiles, Concordia's small size and fast acceleration coupled with 6 ship-killer missiles means she is far more dangerous than she externally appears. Initially named after various values of alliance and harmony, as one of her missions was to "encourage" colonies to remain in the republic, later ships were named after famous Aenean and Roman naval heroes, acting as inspirations for the often hot-shot crews who man these small frigates.

Seeing service almost from day 1 of ADS Concordia completing space trials, the frigate class was put to work on freighter convoy escort and interstellar "show the flag" missions. Others operated in pairs with a Genera in hunter-killer groups, where the smaller, stealthier Concordias would scout out targets for the larger destroyer. One technology quickly adopted for the frigate was the SRQ-12 Charon, a stealthy sensor drone linked to its mothership via quantum-entanglement communications. The drone could fly far from its mothership and provide an instantaneous view of its surroundings, essentially enabling the frigate to see beyond its local instantaneous range. Light from a target 2 light seconds away but only a quarter of the distance to the drone would be received by the frigate's fire control systems 1.75 seconds before ownship's sensors even knew the target was there. The drones would later be implemented throughout the fleet, vastly expanding instantaneous range and enabling missiles to adjust course in-flight to a distant target that maneuvers. During the fleet reorganization pre-empted by the Heavy Combatant Modernization Program (HCMP), which introduced cruisers, battleships, and battlestars to the Aenean Navy, the hunter killer groups were merged into Destroyer Squadrons, although the HKG detachment was a common sub-group of those squadrons. Following the massive antipiracy push of Operation Vigilante, Concordia frigates performed clean-up. The ships patrolled systems outside of Aenean space, hunting any pirate groups that escaped the initial assaults. While capable and well-built, the early batches of frigates are starting to show their 30 year age, with rising mechanical and electronic problems consigning frigates to shipyard for early refits. There is a light though. ADS Concordia, the lead and oldest ship in the class, emerged from being the pilot vessel for the Concordia life extension refit stronger than ever, on par with the most recently built frigates. With the program breathing new life into the ships, the Concordia is expected to serve the Aenean Navy for the next several decades.

Just Google searched "space dust background" and scrolled a bit. Some of the others were Space Engine screenshots.

Thanks!
