The Idiot's Array is a Republic Shield Nebulon-C Frigate currently assigned to the Greeop Defence Force on special assignment in the Minos Cluster.
Originally the Nebulon-B Frigate Corusca, primarily used by Wildcard Squadron during its Tour of Duty patroling RS space lanes. The Corusca was captured by pirates and imperials, however Wildcard managed to retrieve the Corusca. The Corusca was sent to the space yards at Sluis Van where it underwent repairs and heavy modifications. During this time. Wildcard Squadron Command decided to change the name of the vessel to the Idiot's Array. Due to the modifications done to the Idiot's Array the classification of this ship has changed. It is now referred as an SF01-C Nebulon-class strike frigate. It has upgraded engine and shield systems. Weapons have been rearranged and enhanced making more suitable for a strike mission. The hangar bay has also been modified heavily. It has been expanded such that there are now hangar entrances on both sides of the forward section of the frigate. This configuration allows for a much faster launch rate of craft and or fighters in a combat situation. The dual-entrance configuration however does raise concern should the ship come under heavy attack during the launch of craft as it presents a larger target to the inner areas of the ship. To compensate for this added liability, separate deflector shield generators have been added to the bow of the ship. With the added generators, only a small section of the forward shielding is required to be brought down during the launch of craft from it's hangars. The standard fighter complement that the Idiot's Array carries is one X-Wing squadron, but if the mission requires an additional squadron can be supported if a number of the support craft are removed from the hangar. Situated just fore of the primary hangar bay is a very small private hangar capable of supporting three Lambda-class or two Assault-class shuttles. On approach, a required voice print and access code is required for entrance to the private hangar. The only exception to this is if there is a direct order from the captain of the ship himself for craft to be admitted clearance.
