Description: It became clear that the original Bremen-Class though powerful, was lacking the speed to keep up with the small jury-rigged transport ships utilized by pirates.

In order to counter that problem, the TNSCS came up with another design. Sacrificing some of its armor for more room, to fit in a second FU-1 Genesis. This provided the Bremen A with enough power to maintain a second pair of engines, though this would increase its overall mass it would still provide a ~ 87% increase in top speed. This allowed the Bremen A to chase down fleeing priate vessels and to intercept them long before they could hit their target.

It was also equipped with a Burndrive to boost its already high speed for a few seconds but costing a lot of fuel as well as the need to deactivate their FRS.

Though the Bremen A is capable of running patrols on its own, they are usually accompanied by other Bremen variants to increase their lethality.
