Project Introduction
The Shimamori clan of Honshu has requested that Kishiro restore an old Date class vessel for them. After some initial delays in acquiring clearance of the noble government of Kusari, the project was accepted and three designs were drafted to be presented as viable options to bring the classic design up to par with its more modern counterparts.
These models were designated:

1. Dragons ClawThe Shimamori Clan, pleased by Kishiro's initiative of the drafted designs, opted for the Dragons Scale Subclass design.
Project description and desired end product
In order to provide the Shimamori Clan with a vessel that is capable of protecting their interests in the Honshu system
while also keeping up with modern ship designs, Kishiro has taken upon itself to redesign the old Date class vessel.
The Dragons Scale design focuses on significant defense as described above. For the project to be a success the old hull
provided by the Shimamori Clan will have to be restored and reinforced with thick hull plating.
Kusari vessels are typically noted for their maneuverability, slim designs and moderate powercores.
None of the powercores readily available in Kusari would be sufficient for this design, they would be either far too weak such as a conventional cruiser powercore,
or significantly too strong like that of a battleship or battlecruiser. The risk in the latter being the sheer output might even shred the structural integrity of the vessel asunder.
In essence this means a powerful powercore will need to be customized for the vessel.
Finally, the powercore will be able to deviat some of its output to energize the hull which, in turn, will disperse some of incoming fire.
Effectively enhancing the vessels sturdyness.
Project Justification
The project has been approved by the Kusari Government and is funded by the Shimamori Clan,
additionally, experimentation with the powercore might yield unique insights in powercore innovation.
Desired results of the project
The desired end result will revolutionize the way vessels can reinforce their hulls and provide an increased security presence in the Honshu system
which benefits all of Kusari, including of course Kishiro itself.
Budget Overview
Phase one: Restoring and upgrading the Date class hull.
Estimated Budget for phase 1: 200 million credits
- 100.000.000 credits as estimated costs for restoring the Date class hull provided by the Shimamori Clan.
- 45.000.000 credits in Reinforced Alloy, an unconventional alloy choice for ship construction due to its significant heavier weight but it provides significantly greater results. These supplies will be used to reinforce the hulls plating.
- 45.000.000 credits in Energy field equipment: Conventionally not used for vessel hulls, they will be used to ensure that the hull can be efficiently energized without causing structural damage or losing excessive amounts of energy.
- 10.000.000 credits in wages for employees involved.
Phase two: Construction and implementation of customized powercore.
Estimated Budget for phase 2: 100 million credits
- 65.000.000 credits in costs for production and modifications of a heavy cruiser powercore to allow it to interact with the vessels hull.
- 25.000.000 credits in costs of doing 100 test runs of hull energizing and analyzing their results.
- 10.000.000 credits in wages for employees involved.
Phase three: Flight ready preparations.
Estimated Budget for phase 3: 50 million credits
- 50.000.000 credits in various equipment such as shield generators, weapons, scanners.
