Description (Specifications)[edit]

It is a vessel with 2-G and J-1 performance with a streamlined flattened sphere, saucer hull. It carries a pair of model 4fib computers and a low watch to replace fallen crew or carry another battalion of troops. They are capable of 2G acceleration and have 1 agility rating. The TL–10 streamlined saucer structure hulls have jump 1 drives and carry enough internal fuel for five jumps. They are fitted with drop tanks for an extra two jumps and 28 more days of power plant fuel. They are fitted with fuel scoops and have fuel purification for ocean refueling.

It carries light armament and a defensive suite. They are armed with two repulsor bays, twenty heavy missile bays, two particle accelerator bays, seventy triple sand caster batteries, twenty dual plasma guns, and seventy triple pulse laser turrets. They are designed with several redundant systems, and carry Factor-2 armor which allows them to absorb considerable punishment.

They carry a regiment of 1,501 marines with drop capsules. The marines are supported by two squadrons of ten 30 dton Sath class Medium Fighters, two companies of Sath Alliance Grav APCs, and ten 20 dton retrieval boats.

It has a crew of 1,786.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Designed and built at the Ik'sath (world) shipyards, these transports are considered somewhat obsolete by the Sath Alliance Military Forces. As the factions have fought and bickered several of these ships were recommissioned from moth balls and have found their way into The Khas'ahi Faction, within the Sha’a Cluster, and the Shikh’aa Faction in the K’shek cluster. These ships operate within the Far Home Sector. During planetary operations, despite the streamlined hull, the feeble 1G maneuver drive makes entering and exiting gravity wells of larger and more massive worlds problematic.
