The Poplar frigate is adept at disruption. It also features outstanding firepower performance.
The prototype was created as the convoy ship of the Skoric IV colonial cruiser in 586 AG, during Svarus and the Oracle Empire's dispute over the ""Domain"".
The stability of the Skoric series was well-established, which was the reason that during the Svarn expansion(or restore of the ""Domain"") in 641 AG, the Poplar frigate, as a brand new development project, was decided to be based on the Skoric series.
Compared to the obviously bulky Svarn design, all of Skoric's frigates share an elegance uncharacteristic of Svarn. The slim hull was connected with multiple sets of masts. The regionalized installation of a dynamic armor emitter was enabled by dividing the hull according to functionality in order to make up for the deficiencies of the frigate's armor.
The Poplar frigate received a comprehensive upgrade in 835 AG, with the Poplar name carried over. The main weapons system were relocated to the front of the original bridge, with the original SA-N-3 Goblet and SA-N-4 Gecko long-range railguns replaced with 4 sets of SA-N-9 Flame trial antimatter projectors, in purpose of reducing the long cooldown and making it ready for vital battle tasks, while regional defense was handled by the latest Svarn ship-defending turrets system.
After ""The Coming"" AG 983, Svarus initiated a strategic ship upgrade project codenamed New Era. Meanwhile the Poplar was equipped with an Triggered Supercharge Accelerator. After successfully dodging enemy fire, its energy can be recycled and recharged into ship energy, then converted through modifying components to the main turrets cooldown system to reduce its cooldown. However, this capturing field cannot work consistently, due to a technological bottleneck. This is currently the most significant angle of the Poplar upgrade project, with very few results so far.
