Description (Specifications)
Another quality product of the Nist (world) shipyards. Upon mustering out many local nobles obtain these vessels as playthings in the furtherance of their careers. The habitation life ring works as a spin habitat and the cargo space has been largely converted into a small casino. The cylindrical spindle of the ship's hull hangs perpendicular to the surface of the world. Partially streamlined and capable of gas giant wilderness refueling. The fusion reactors, jump drive and triple maneuver gimbles are positioned forward in a tractor configuration with a 120 degree separation. These three reactionless thrusters pull the ship forward. When relative motion and acceleration is not being applied and a stable orbital insertion has been achieved the life ring deploys to full radius and spins as a thin torus. Aft of this is the bridge and computer core, and finally the boat deck with the ship's many vehicles and craft. All of the hull surfaces are rendered in a non-oxidizing matte black stealth coating, a hold over from their military ancestry.

This class of vessel was first built at TL–9, as a class of War Sloop. Largely decommissioned, some found their way into other planetary navies and some were overhauled and upgraded as luxury pleasure vessels, with the utilitarian naval milspec replaced with opulent decor and customer customization design features. This model retains an elaborate counter measures launcher for chaff/window, EMS jammers, IR flares, ECM decoys and sand canisters. The weapons deck has a missile tube silo as well with three ready rounds in the magazine rack. The assault rocket launcher's three ready loads are a remote sensor spy drone, a HE dog fight missile with IR seeker, and a thermo nuclear Mk 48 ship killer torpedo, with radio link command guidance and optical terminal homing and home on jammer options.
There are fourteen staterooms. Typically, single occupancy would be the rule. This owner has elected to cram 23 minions aboard in addition to the five essential crew. When his personal security platoon is not embarked dealers, entertainers, dancers and casino employees take there place.
