-The Ke-S3-2 series //"Plumeria-class"// is a [[timeline:ye_29]] redesign of its similar, smaller predecessor, the //[[stararmy:starship_classes:sakura_gunship]]//. The //Plumeria// added increased cargo space, new weaponry, manufacturing, and defense systems. It is small, heavily armed, transports a large number of power armor for its size, and is quite fast like its predecessor. A major [[timeline:ye_40]] “2E” refit improved the vessel's maneuverability, maximum compliment, storage capacity, secondary armament, point defense, structural durability, weapon integration, and general versatility.+The Ke-S3-2 series //"Plumeria-class"// is a [[timeline:ye_29]] redesign of its similar, smaller predecessor, the //[[stararmy:starship_classes:sakura_gunship]]//.

-//Plumeria-class// ships feature top-tier FTL propulsion, a powerful main cannon, an array of retractable turrets, and powerful secondary weapons. Notable attributes include a Deck 5 dedicated to customization (which is used as a massive Cargo Bay expansion if not otherwise employed), an expanded Cargo Bay, a two-story Shuttle Bay with access through dual side doors, an independent Power Armor Bay, an expanded main body, dual Fabrication Areas, countermeasures including [[stararmy:weapons:electron_countermeasure]] systems and the [[stararmy:Type 31 Electronic Warfare Suite]], and powerful multi-mode thrust-vectoring STL propulsion built into the pylons and nacelles. The Plumeria-class Gunship also requires less maintenance and is more reliable than its predecessor, the Sakura-class Gunship(([[http://stararmy.com/roleplay/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=873|YSS Elfin Princess Mission 1]])) and is equipped with self-repairing and replaceable segmented hull plates as part of its [[:stararmy:integrated_cfs_array]] for easier damage control.+//Plumeria-class// ships feature top-tier FTL propulsion, a powerful main cannon, an array of retractable turrets, and powerful secondary weapons.

-//Plumeria// gunships have an elongated almond-shaped main body with two [[:stararmy:equipment:ke-d7-m3900_chiaki_pylon_module]]s on the sides which serve as structural supports for two wing-like pylons. These pylons each house a well-armored nacelle containing the primary STL propulsion system. The ship is covered in armored [[:stararmy:integrated_cfs_array]] panels and retractable turrets. From the front of the ship a massive dagger-shaped cannon array protrudes, accounting for nearly half of the ship's length and giving it a long, sharp figure. A smaller second spike is underneath the first, and to either side of that spike are pods – the one on the port side being a sensor array and the one on the starboard side being a swappable multi-purpose one. An expansion to the frame that gives more interior space gives the center underside of the ship a triangular shape. Some vessels have specialized hatches or structures on Deck 5 which are from of the assorted [[:stararmy:starship_classes:plumeria_gunship_2e#plumeria_deck_packages|Plumeria Deck Packages]] available to customize the craft.+//Plumeria// gunships have an elongated almond-shaped main body with two [[:stararmy:equipment:ke-d7-m3900_chiaki_pylon_module]]s on the sides which serve as structural supports for two wing-like pylons.

 The hull color is typically Periwinkle, although some early models had light gray hulls and there are some decorated ships of note that carry their own custom colors. Many of these custom-colored vessels use the older light gray with a secondary color on the fins, pylons, and engines; having earned distinction as early models. [[stararmy:saint]] also uses a black-hulled version.

-The S3 (//Sakura//) development project began under Acting Mistress [[stararmy:ranks:taisho]] [[character:kessaku_irim]] in late [[timeline:ye_27]] in the wake of the extremely costly [[system:xyainbor]] and [[system:mwigflukbajik]] offensives against the [[faction:mishhuvurthyar:sfrarabla_mishhuvurthyar_xhrafuklurp]].

-After the Sakura's destruction, Hanako sought an improved version of the ship that had served her so well. [[corp:ketsurui_fleet_yards]] constructed the first of the new class, [[stararmy:starships:yss_plumeria]] (NG-X1-390), in late [[timeline:ye_29]] and Hanako used it to execute a daring and risky attack on the [[faction:mishhuvurthyar:sfrarabla_mishhuvurthyar_xhrafuklurp]] headquarters. The design was so well-liked within the [[stararmy:start]], that production of the [[stararmy:starship_classes:sakura_gunship]] for the [[stararmy:fleets:first_expeditionary_fleet]] was halted in favor of the //Plumeria// series. By the end of [[timeline:ye_30]], most //Sakura// had been disassembled and rebuilt as //Plumeria//; at that time, the //Plumeria-class// also saw a surge in new production as the Star Army added several new fleets to the [[stararmy:start|roster]].+After the Sakura's destruction, Hanako sought an improved version of the ship that had served her so well.

It should be noted that in addition to launching Escape Pods, these areas also launch hundreds of inflatable 'dummy' pods which are designed to overwhelm an enemy with targets which fly out in all directions while also providing false sensor readings. These dummy pods appear both in Escape Pod and SS Pod variants. The ship's [[stararmy:systems:type_31_electronic_warfare_suite]] may be able to achieve the same effect, but the dummy pods persist if the vessel has been disabled or destroyed and can beyond the suite's range limits.
