ARS Righteous Frenzy | Hunter of the Void, Reaver of Gal'Haidan, Bane of Darmire ( Tales of the Periphery)

ARS Rightous Frenzy is a concept first thought up before the end of the Liberation War as a method to ambush and raid Imperial shipping before fading away without needing a Gate or Leap Carrier.
It wasn't economical at the time, due to the lack of drives in rebel possession. But, in the years after the war when a bunch of low grade drives were available, the Aurumites started making a line of Cruiser-Raiding Torches to control their vast territories and attack those who stand against their King.

Each Raiding Torch of this type is uniquely designed to the specification of its commander, and the crews are hand picked by their superiors ( general spacers are picked by junior officers, senior officers pick junior officers, commander picks the senior officers) for their loyalty and ruthlessness.
These ships are not as combat effective compared to non-FTL craft of the same displacement, as they dedicate a lot of mass, power and heat removal to their FTL infastructure. This does give them some benefits, like a lot of power that can be shunted to sensors or even heavy-duty shielding like BattleScreens that its peers cannot do, but the mass dedicated and high cost isn't considered worth it in many cases.

Conditions are pretty nice onboard, and the pay is really high for them, since they get prize, plunder, and resale money. But it is infinitely more risky than being on a normal, supported torchship.

Righteous Frenzy is commanded by Fyodor Adina, a former Imperial spacer for whom atrocities seem to be his bread and butter. He plundered hundreds of ships throughout his career, bombed a dozen worlds back into compliance, and has the distinction for killing the only Union’s Pride-class Battleship ever destroyed in combat with torpedos while it was orbiting Gal'Haidan providing fire support to provisional government forces. He was ennobled for that, and his crew supposedly made enough money that they didn't leave Obeld Station's pleasure quarters for a week.

MCRN Heavy Frigate and UNN Destroyer

Both MOCs are ships are from The Expanse franchise, one being based on the MCRN Orion-Class Frigate (orange) and an the unknown-class Destroyer (blue).

The bulbous head of the Orion-Class frigates are high-density missile batteries capable of pumping out up to twelve torpedoes at once, allowing this little frigate to punch way above its weight and overwhelm other vessels of similar caliber. It's five Point Defense cannons give it a full sphere of protective coverage against incoming torpedoes and make it a reasonable danger for anything that decides to get too close without a railgun.

The Destroyer is a little less special. It carries four single-tube torpedo magazines and four point-defense cannons. Unfortunately, it's PDC arrangement leaves a large blindspot around the main engine. It is, however, disproportionately small compared to its main engine and is therefore much quicker and nimbler than one would expect for such a cheap production.

Animated in Blender because why not? :D
