Background Information:

The Riverplate-Class Gunboat was inititally designed by Amalgamated Shipworks Incorporated on United Earth, who were then given the contract to produce the vessel as a unit of the Earth Navy. The Riverplate-Class is designed to act as a locally defensive, multi-unit starship patrolling areas of low sensitivity where deploying heavier battle units would be unstrategic or uneconomical. The vessel design, along with the mothballed first 20 units of the class, were transferred to Federal Alliance control as part of the independence agreement, and later runs of production have been awarded to the New Terra-based corporation Alliance Unified Ironworks.
