Description / Specifications
The Assault Shuttle is a solid, reliable vessel designed to transport troops and equipment into dangerous areas. Similar designs have been in use from the time the Distant Fringe was first settled.
- The vessel is a TL 11 design.
Hull
The Assault Shuttle is constructed using an 80 dTon hull built in a generally wedge-shaped configuration. The hull is fully streamlined, plated, and structurally reinforced, with an armor rating of 7.
- Individual sections of the ship are divided by bulkhead walls.
- The hull includes internal grav plates and inertial compensators.
Engineering
The vessel mounts a maneuver-5 drive and a power plant 8, giving performance of 5G acceleration. There is fuel tankage of 6.4 dTons, giving the power plant 4 weeks duration.
Main Section
The vessel is equipped with a computer model/2 and has two crew acceleration couches. There are an additional 30x passenger acceleration couches and 1x small stateroom, fitted out as an assembly area / medical bay. Cargo capacity amounts to 4 dTons.
- The vessel is fitted with communications equipment, a sensor suite, and an avionics bay.
Crew
The Assault Shuttle requires 1 crew: a pilot, but also routinely carries a navigator/gunner.
Weapons
The ship has a single mixed triple turret mounting two beam lasers and one missile rack.
Subcraft
None.
Cost
The basic cost of the vessel is MCr104.550. The craft is a standard design and qualifies for a 20% discount, which reduces the total price to MCr83.640.
History
An ubiquitous design used throughout the Distant Fringe, the Assault Shuttle is durable and reliable. The design is representative and a large number of variants exist, particularly with regard to the allotted weapons systems and onboard electronics.
