Overview:
Only three ComStar WarShips survived the Word of Blake Jihad, leaving them completely unable to patrol any of the systems they had nominal control of. The new Dante and Mars WarShips gave them much-needed combat capability, but they still lacked capable patrol craft to support the far-flung ComStar outposts. The Venus was designed to fill this hole, to show the ComStar flag throughout the Human Sphere.
A spinal-mount Kinslaughter naval particle cannon, two Blankenburg naval lasers, and two White Shark missile launchers linked to a C3 system that shares data with other ships gives it impressive offensive capabilities against other WarShips. Arrays of anti-fighter weapons batteries ring their superstructure, and a hanger bay capable of supporting 2 level IIs of fighters makes them capable of threatening smaller ships as well. They can also carry two DropShips with them through a jump, though as ComStar doesn't build DropShips, that capability is sometimes seen as unneeded. Still, many Venus frigates have permanent DropShips attached to them, most popular being Vengeance fighter-carriers purchased from the Draconis Combine or Marik-Stewart Commonwealth. Easy-access cargo bays can carry over a thousand tons of cargo, enough for the standard patrols it follows, but an extended trip can see a Venus running low on supplies quickly.
Venus frigates can be seen in any system that houses a ComStar installation, and are always seen protecting their recharge stations. They also enforce ComStar neutrality in international affairs, and many people consider them to be the symbol of that neutrality. Venus frigates have often been the destination of many people looking for asylum, and ComStar has made it a policy to accept such requests. Many of those people later join the Order, and consider their first step on the deck of a Venus to be the beginning of a new life. They are the symbol of hope in much of the Human Sphere for those looking for a better life, and ComStar takes great pains to make certain that they continue to be seen as such.
