Description (Specifications)[edit]
Capable of 5Gs acceleration and carrying a pair of model 2 fib computers, this SDB design is a native built system defense boat built in the Zydarian Codominium. It follows the SDB pattern of carrying the thickest armor available and features a fully streamlined needle/wedge hull. It can carry a squad of marines for boarding actions. It is armed with a heavy missile bay and carries no turrets as a result. It has some agility and six tons of cargo space.
