Description

the Rory class frigates were designed primarily to replace old and outdated gunboats and other small vessels that were used as colonial units, the need for a new and capable colonial protection ship, became apparent in 1821 with the War of the second Coalition, in which several Saderan overseas territories were suddenly and without warning taken over by the Queraw Republic, this incident would be the ultimate reason why the Saderan Empire would enter the War of the second Coalition, after the end of the war 1823 and the recaptcha of all overseas territories that were taken as well as the addition of several new ones, this incident made it very apparent that many saderan overseas territories were lacking proper naval protection, so starting in 1825 the saderan naval construction Bureau began work on designing a brand new class of small gun ship, it would serve primarily as a colonial protection ship, however the class was intended to be easily convertible into any other roles that the navy would need, after a short design and with the Admiralty being satisfied with the design the proposal was put forth, originally only 15 vessels were authorised in the 1827 navel budget, however emperor Magnus Molt sol augustus requested that the navy be allocated a larger budget for more of these colonial protection ships, with his reasoning being that he didn't want another embarrassment such as what happened in the second coalition conflict, as a result the original order of 15 was increased to 35 ships with the first 6 vessels in lay down in early spring 1828.

ES Rony was officially commissioned on the 16th of December 1835, she along with her sister she would be assigned to the trucker islands, a large Island chain located in the Eastern sector of the Titania ocean, these islands were once known to have been part of the greater elven Kingdom in the ancient past, the islands themselves served as an important military base with the largest island in the chain serving as an important naval base for all Saderan Navy forces operating in the eastern Titania ocean, as a result protection for the whole Island chain was taken up by several members of the Rony class starting in 1836.

in 1837 with the official declaration of war on the Eastern allied powers, many of the Rony class would be pressed into service as convoy escort ships and due to their easily convertible nature they were found to be very good in this role, however this would come at a cost with 15 out of the original 35 ships being sunk throughout the course of the 8 year worldwide conflict.

Rony herself would be suck in 1840 by a Güzezdere submarine while on patrol in the North Sea, she would be hit by two torpedoes one fired at her and another that was meant for one of the cargo ships she was escorting, being hit by both torpedoes would blow her clean into to with both halves sinking in 5-minutes taking 95 out of her 150 Man crew with her
