Falcon Class Heavy Cruiser
The Falcon class represents the Exploration and Defense Fleets flagship class.
Propulsion
The Falcon was the first EDF ship class to feature an Entangled Tachyon Pulse Spacetime Tunnel Propulsion System alongside a conventional c+ Drive. The conventional drive system is scaled down significantly compared to previous generations in favor of the added Tachyon Drive.
Besides the long range propulsion, the Falcon class also has a standard complement of maneuvering thrusters, scaled to give the ship relatively good maneuverability for its size.
Communication Tools & Systems
To be able to operate at the long ranges it is capable of traveling, the Falcon class is also equipped with a highly directional tachyon pulse based communication system. This system is linked with the primary tachyon source used for the propulsion system. This prevents the tachyon drive from being used while the long-range communication link is active, but this is a non-issue as the link would be interrupted by the jump anyway.
