| Introduction | 2796 CE |
The Anvil U4A-3 Terrapin deep-space armored scout ship utilized by the United Empire of Earth Navy (UEEN). Outfitted with sensitive long-range scanners, it is used for long duration reconnaissance and leg patrol missions where crewmembers might need to be separated from support facilities for weeks at a time. The spacecraft is encased with heavy armor and an oversized shield generator that allows it to survive skirmishes with lighter raiding craft and extreme environment.[1][2]

Features
- Cooling Mechanism: Due to the Terrapin's thick armor however, the ship has insufficient capacity to vent its heat. To vent this excess heat, the armor panels can be retracted, a mechanic that has been described as to 'come up for air'.[3]
Usage
- The Terrapin is used by the UEEN for overwatch, long-endurance picket, and to add reconnaissance capabilities to the fleet, as well as extend the Navy's ability to provide a patrol presence to border systems that couldn't be allocated capital ships or large fighter garrisons for defense.[2][4]
- It is a favored explorer ship among UEE military veterans who opt to continue flying after their service, many of them having already come to know its reliability, ease of repair and never-say-die attitude.[5] As secondary roles, it is said that the Terrapin can be used for both Search and Rescue and as Troop Transport.[6]
History
- Development: The Terrapin is developed in 2796 to serve as the first ship in the Empire's defensive restructuring of the Navy. It is also the first full production ship that Anvil Aerospace has fabricated under direct Naval contract. It is developed in an Anvil plant located in Nova Kiev, Terra under lead designer J.Harris Arnold and lead engineer Allegra Wilsing.[6]
- Naval Assessment: In 2796, the UEE ship assessment review team led by Vice Admiral Galen Whishaw is commanded by the High Command to assess if the Terrapin should be included in the UEE military.
