History & Background (Dossier)
The Type SMU-4C was first placed in service in 1035 and is still common throughout the Spinward Marches.
Several type variants exist to cater for specific or unusual requirements:
- The 4C is a typical Navy model.
- The 4D is a Scout Service model identical except for the computer and sensor packages.
- A number of similar types without the heavy armament can be found on observation missions or as information/marker buoys.
