Overview:
In 2531 the SLDF began to phase out its Aegis Class frigates in favor of the larger Avatar. The 830,000-ton Avatar outweighed its predecessor by some 85,000 tons, largely because of its heavier armor and weaponry. Despite this weight increase, the Avatar also proved a faster vessel than the Aegis, able to maintain 1.5 Gs of acceleration for sustained periods and 2.5 Gs for short periods.
In the early 28th century, the aging Avatar was itself replaced by the Luxor Class WarShip. Many Avatars were placed in reserve fleets or reassigned as training vessels. When troops loyal to Stephan Amaris seized Terra in December of 2766, they gained control of three Avatar Class vessels undergoing refittings at the orbiting Ian Cameron yards. Six Avatars survived till the wars' end--five in service with the SLDF and one Rim Worlds vessel captured at Nusakan in 2773. Although the Avatars were almost obsolete by the standards of the era, General Kerensky chose to take these vessels with the Exodus fleet, where their superb cargo and DropShip capacities would be of considerable value.
The Avatars were mothballed when the fleet arrived at the Pentagon worlds. These vessels, among others, remained in storage until the early 31st century, when the Clans began upgrading ships from their cache fleets in preparation for their invasion of the Inner Sphere. Clan techs upgraded the Avatar's weapons and armor and made numerous minor changes to the design, which was renamed the Liberator.
The Liberator's new ferro-carbide armor provided nearly 50-percent more protection than the Avatar's conventional armor, without reducing the craft's massive cargo facility. The Liberator was fitted with advanced Clan weaponry, with great emphasis placed on anti-fighter rather than anti-ship systems, a stark contrast to the design philosophy of the Star League. Three Stars of OmniFighters complete the new vessel's armaments. The Liberator also contains quarters for two Stars of battle-armored Elementals, who protect the vessel against boarding actions and execute boarding actions against enemy craft. Additional cabins enable the Liberator to carry an additional Cluster of conventional troops, but these are rarely used.
