The cargo hold is accessed by a large lateral doors that also serves to anchor docking clamps for service vehicles.
2.	Crew	x587 personnel. x11 command, x24 engineering, x26 gunnery, x15 flight, x20 services, and 491 holy marines. Accommodations There are 296.5 Staterooms. All Staterooms are given over to the crew. All crew quarters are double occupancy. There are 294 Low Berths for a complete low watch or for additional troops.

There are internal monitoring and security systems throughout the vessel. Individual sections of the hull can be sealed off. There are multiple emergency lockers.
3.	Performance	The vessel mounts a Jump-3 drive, a Maneuver-3 drive, and an upgraded fusion Power Plant-4, giving performance of Jump-3 and 3-G acceleration. The ship has an agility rating of 2 and an emergency agility of 2. The internal fuel tankage is sufficient for a single Jump-3 and gives the power plant 4 weeks duration. It is fitted with drop tanks, should extended range operations be required. The engineering section has a main control room. The jump drive utilizes a lanthanum hull grid. The jump drive is fitted with a jump governor.
4.	Electronics	Adjacent to the bridge are a pair of Model/6 fib computers: one is used as a backup computer in the event of battle damage. There are multiple workstations and control points throughout the vessel. The vessel is fitted with communications equipment, a basic sensor array, and has an avionics suite.

History & Background (Dossier)

The Militant Pilgrim class Combat Transport class is used by the Tenjada Moralitate's Tenjada Naval Forces (TNF). There ten of these converted transports in each of the three squadrons. The military versions are almost impossible to differentiate from the civilian ones. This puts civilian vessels at risk in combat zones and allows the military versions to serve as Q-ships. The basic and reliable vessel has sacrificed its spacious hold, for a larger power plant. Vast missile bays are fitted to the cargo holds. And marines are berthed in every available compartment from bulkhead to bulkhead. They deliver a reinforced marine battalion to the battlefield and are equipped with 50 capsule launchers, and store 419 assault capsules. The company of Grav APCs are used to establish secure beach heads, and landing zones.
