The Ratatosk is a light frigate that can be configured for a variety of tasks. It is popular in interdiction, patrol and customs roles, as well as armed escorts for merchant vessels. Armed with two PDCs and ten torpedoes, its distinctive three-engine configuration.
Ratatosk is named for the legendary squirrel that lived in the branches of the world tree, Yggdrasil. This squirrel carries messages between the dragon Nidhogg at the root and the eagles perched atop of the tree.
The ship is built at the Aesir Shipyard on Mercurius by the Aesir corporation. It’s a conglomerate of Scandinavian bloc megacorps sometimes called Kalmar II after the famed 14th century union of Denmark, Sweden and Norway. It’s history of spacecraft design is harkening back to the early days of fusion torch travel.
