Description (Specifications)

This TL–12 vessel has a fully streamlined conical structure hulls. They have a pair of model/6 fib ship computers mounted adjacent to the bridge and are capable of 2 G acceleration and have no agility rating. They carry enough fuel, internally for a single Jump-2, with a Jump-2 reserve for strategic withdrawal. They can carry drop tanks with 28 days of power plant fuel and an additional Jump-2 as needed. They are equipped with fuel scoops and on board fuel purification for wilderness ocean refueling.

The weapons include two dual fusion gun turrets for point defense, two triple beam laser turrets, and ten triple missile turrets for offense. The defenses include three triple sand caster turrets.

They are optimized to carry as many marines as will fit in a hull this size. They have staterooms for 260 marines and a 6 ton G-Carrier.

They operate with only a crew of 26. These ships are inexpensive for their size and are used to move troops where needed. They are not well suited for direct planetary assault, but are capable of entering planetary atmospheres and can land in extremis. Their cargo bay supports sustained operations and the ten low berths can be used for medical emergencies or for prisoners.
