Hurloon

Y655400-5 (6) interdicted, life support, GRU Countess, Recolonized and upgraded 1.17.18

A descent sized moon with 0.8 surface gravity, due to its density, it retains an atmosphere and a hydrosphere. Most of the water is locked in a cryosphere, but subsurface liquid water does exist. The pressure, and resulting heat combined with the gravitational shearing forces keep some of the water liquid. Icy and cold the warmth from the system's three stars are fairly distant. The gas giant does have some radiant IR output. A group of Confederate scouts had all served together for several years. The ship was released to its captain at the urging of a newly crowned noble. The countess took one of the scouts as her knight and protector. A lost Vargr merchant provides certain business contacts for establishing a trade outpost. The colony is to be divided into three baronies. Each with at least 100 colonists. A GRU army officer is to raise a defensive force, hopefully up to a full battalion some day if population and budgets permit. The countess has been rewarded with these land holdings for her savagery in battle. She is a legend with a sword, among the local GRU naval squadron. The nucleus of the new "Hurloon Navy" is hoped to be the surplus 100ton scout cruiser. There are eight in the group, so the ship is a little crowded with four people forced to share rooms. Traditionally, the Countess and the ship's captain get single rooms. The scouts and navy personnel are used to this from the service.

Confederate Scout Launch

Capable of 1G acceleration, this small craft has no computer on its tiny bridge. The two crew have their hands full. They rely on guidance from the mother ship or pre-recorded flight plans. The passengers seats can be removed to make room for 3 tons of cargo with a few hours of work. They feature an air lock and fresher for the safety and comfort of the crew and passengers.
