Ship Weapons:
1. 2X Pulse Cannon Lasers.
2. 4X Antimatter Torpedo Launchers.
3. 5X Kinetic Halestorm Point Defense Cannons.
4. 2X Rear Mounted Antimatter Mine Layer.
Ship technologies:
1. Experimental Stealth Field Generator: This makes the Nightfall invisible to the naked eye as well as to radar, the downside it emits a very large heat signature which makes it visible to heat sensors, the shields are down to 20% when cloaked.
2. Sensor & Communications Scrambler: This can temporarily block quantum communications as well as sensor scans.
3. Decoy Probe: This is released from the rear mine layer as a small probe which can be used to trick missile and torpedo radars into tracking it instead of the Nightfall.
4. Experimental Hologram Emitter: Used by the Nightfall to mimic an enemy vessel's appearance for a short amount of time, but if it is fired upon the hologram will fail immediately. The Nightfall also must have full scans of a ship and can only take the appearance of another frigate of similar size and cannot take the appearance of any smaller spacecraft's.
5. Sensor Probes: Used by the Nightfall to send out scans of any star system that they are deployed to.
6. Shield Generators.
7. Dark Matter Engine.
8. Quantum Communications Array.
9.
AI Sif Sif is the Nightfall's AI which she controls many of the more complicated parts of the Nightfall, also provides tactical advice when needed.
Ship Appearance:
Notable missions: Operation: Trojan Horse. The Nightfall's first mission and test flight, using a captured rebel frigate the Nightfall was used as a spy on a known rebel base which provided various scans of the base and the amount of ships that the base had. Though the mission was successful it was quickly found, the Nightfall quickly fled into a near asteroid field and used its stealth generator and returned to Earth. After the mission GANS sent a force to the rebel base and destroyed it, then the Nightfall was then assigned to Sigma.
Other:
Primary use of the Nightfall: Covert operations, stealth, recon, sabotage, and support.
Experimental Stealth Generator Weakness: Will appear as a major heat signature on heat scans, and shields need to be lowered to 15%-20% to cover the whole ship.
Experimental Hologram Emitter Weakness: Needs complete scans of an enemy frigate, can only take on the appearance of an enemy frigate of similar size, cannot take an appearance of anything larger or smaller then the Nightfall itself when fired upon the hologram completely fails.
