Description

The Svetlyak class, official designation Project 10410 Svetlyak, is a class of fast patrol boats designed and built in the USSR, and currently being used primarily by the Soviet Navy and Soviet Orbital Forces.
Design and Role
Patrol boats of the Svetlyak class are designed to carry out a variety of missions, such as patrol operations to prevent violations of near-planetary borders and to protect friendly vessels and facilities from criminal incursions and hostile actions. They are not intended to engage in conventional military operations, however, but rather as enforcers of soviet spatial dominance in secured planetary systems.

The effective range and duration of deployments for the Svetlyak class are limited, but above average for a vessel of its type. It also boasts considerable firepower in its forward-mounted kinetic cannons, though these typically sever more as a deterrent than being utilized in direct confrontation.
Variants
Project 10410 – the standard version operated by the Soviet Navy and the NKVD People's Commissariat
Project 10411 – an up-armed missile board version equipped with four additional NH-33 anti-ship missile launchers
Project 10412 – an export version sold to the People's Republic of Novyi Tatariya and the Vega Confederation.
History
Extra-orbital patrol boats were introduced to the Soviet Navy as part of the massive modernization program undertaken in the late 2160s and early 2170s. Steady technological improvements and experience in interstellar warfare proved the importance of their role in maintaining control over secured systems. The Svetlyak-class is a recent entry in the long line of soviet designs conceived to fill this role.
Introduced in the 2250s, the Svetlyak was developed and tested in light of the Vesta Wars and the shifts in interplanetary doctrine their skirmishes revealed. Putting a greater emphasis on high mobility and long-range guided missile systems, the class represented one of the more modern designs of the Soviet Navy at the time.
While the prototypes left a favorable impression on Soviet leadership during several test assignments, the more complex electronics involved in the new weapons systems proved ultimately less suitable to the kind of mass production the class needed to undergo. Because of this, Svetlyak Class Patrol Vessels remained relatively few until the 2280s when border conflicts in light of the growing German threat revealed the necessity of further modernization in much of the Soviet Interstellar Fleet.
