Info:
The Shinta Corporation, though specializing in material transport, does possess its own defense force. Used for anti-pirating operations and corporate security, these ships are particularly unique among Humanities many factions.

As is the most obvious design feature, the rings of the ships serve many purposes. Not only do they function as the ships backup power supply, but also as the ships primary deflector hubs, and this in addition to the ships warp field stabilizers.

And although their ships are considered technologically inferior to other factions, the reliability and ease of maintenance of these ships are known far and wide as being the best of the best.

This is because each section of the ship is self-contained with their own backup systems. Couple this with the backup power supply during the event of an emergency and you have a ship that you must completely destory in order to officially take it out of combat.

Additional Info:
Finally got around to making one of the combat ships of the Shinta Corporation. Shinta is a independent subsidiary of the C-1 and has close ties to the C-1. Ultimately, they are not military-oriented but can and do run combat operations for various reasons; mostly joint-ops against pirate organizations.

Gun-wise, the "angled" gun platforms are best served for the defense guns. This give them enough coverage (even with the rings) to at least have one gun at a time engage a inbound torpedo. The top-most turret mounts are where Shinta would stick their mainguns. Lower ones being dedicated to missile launchers. And the torpedo/missile bay are just that. They are one and the same lore-wise, but you can put missile launchers there if you wish.

Also, just to throw this out there, you can cut and splice sections of this one model to create various smaller designs of Shinta ships. Naturally, there are different modular section varieties out there (non that i've build yet), but basically the vast majority of Shinta Vessels are modular in design. <Consider how their transport functions, about the same.

P.S. Left hollow for easy customization.
