BRAD'S COMMENTS: Another Jaynz vessel from Gary Perry (re-drawn by Neale Davidson, based on the original.) The Mackenzie looks like a straightforward TOS-era frigate, but the backstory is awfully odd, talking as it does about some kind of Federation splinter group living in the Triangle. In a sense, this backstory seems to be referring to a TOS-era version of the Maquis, though the Federation was hardly an ally of the seperatist Maquis in the same way that the Federation seems to be an ally of this Affiliation of Outer Free Worlds. No matter what, the backstory for this class is as apocryphal as they come, so discard it as a mental plaything, and treat this class like a standard Federation vessel during game play. As always, many thanks to Gary Perry for unearthing this vessel and sending it in.

Mackenzie Class IX Frigate
NOTES: The Mackenzie Class is one of the newest and largest group of
warships in the Mutual Defense Force of the Affiliation of Outer Free Worlds
located in the triangle. Constructed at the extensive Naval Yards located
in orbit around the planet of New Aberdeen, the class is largely crewed by
personnel of that world, giving these ships a definite Gaelic slant.
The Mackenzie Class was loosely based on the Baker
Class Destroyer of the Federation's Starfleet, but are more powerful than the
bakers. Most of their components were constructed on the planets of the
Affiliation of Outer Free Worlds under license from the UFP. Normally,
ships of this size and expense are of proven Starfleet classes, but the design
engineers of New Aberdeen wanted to prove that they could indeed design a class
totally by themselves. This they have done, and with great success.
The Mackenzie Class frigate is an efficient and
well-planned design. Her eight FH-12 phasers are placed on the various
quadrants of the ship's saucer, giving an all around field of fire. Two
FP-1 photon torpedo tubes offer a punch from both forward and aft. Her
superstructure has been reinforced and state of the art deflectors have been
installed. Although none of these ships has yet seen combat, their
Scottish names and offensive weaponry will surely give a new meaning to the
ancient phrase "Big Mac Attack".
