Description
The Sukanya-Class picket ship is among the most numerous vessels of the Greater India Cosmo Forces and a long-standing symbol for the great nations might on the cosmic shore. Retrofitted many times with some of the most advanced close-combat weaponry and utility systems, the vessel continues to serve on the forefront of India's military operations.

Technical Specifications
General
The Sukanya was conceived as a generalist design, versatile and adaptable to the many duties it would be called upon while protecting the spatial domain of Greater India. To this end, the craft is equipped not only with decent armaments but a wide range of sensors, communications devices, storage spaces, and modular nodes, allowing for quick modifications for specific mission profiles.

Armament
The Sukanya has weapons options for all ranges at its disposal, including double launch tubes capable of fitting long-range guided warheads, a mid-range turreted laser cannon and two sets of kinetic batteries for close ranges. Due to its size, the ammunitions depots for all weapons systems are very limited but can be augmented by utilizing generic storage space and external munitions storage accordingly.

Defensive
On its own, a singular Sunkanya Picket Ship is protected only by minimal armor and limited countermeasures. In proper group formations, however, the true potential of its superior communications and coordination capabilities is revealed. Groups of Sunkanya-class vessels and similar craft of the Greater India Cosmo Forces can engage in highly sophisticated evasive maneuvers, including targeted jamming strikes and false signature formations, confusing even sophisticated guided warheads. Like a shoal of fish evading a predator, quick pickets have been known to come out of encounters against massively superior capital vessels unscathed.

Tactics
Like most deployed by the Republic of Greater India, the Sukanya seeks its advantage in numbers not only by brute force but by utilizing large contingents of independent combat units to their full potential. This doctrine of coherent mass formations, often likened to that of natural pseudo-hive minds such as swarms of fish and ant-hives is made possible by intricate communications systems and rigorous training which is on display in these vessels as much as any other in the Greater India Cosmo Fleet.

History
The first incarnation of the Sukanya was introduced by India in the early 2170s, during the early inter-war period. Originally a test-bed design for improved semi-atmosphere capable propulsion systems, the sturdy frame was quickly adapted into a proper class of war-ship and continued to be refitted until the modern Sukanya Class was born.
Of the 40+ vessels of the first generation, thirty remain in active service, with no less than twenty additional units being under current construction, slightly modified as the Sukanya MKII.
