The Ocklosh class Salvage Ship is a TL–13 Salvage Ship.
Description[edit]
The Ocklosh-class ships are used to bring home smaller ships, or parts of them, too damaged to do it themselves. Their standard turret contains a mining laser to cut through damaged bulkheads. The ship is not a rescue ship. It is usually brought in afterwards, to clean up the mess.
The usual crew of seven includes captain/pilot, navigator, sensors/commo operator, engineer, medic, and two small-craft crew, one of whom usually handles the gunner role, too.
History & Background[edit]
The Fang class Corsair can only go about its business because it's based upon a legitimate design; the 400-ton Ocklosh-class salvage ship, also based on the Type P class Corsair.
The Ocklosh was never common, but enough have found their way into the private sector in their original configuration or refitted as a bulk-transport freighters or mining ships, that possessing one does not automatically brand the owner as a pirate (not quite, anyway).
