- It is a paramilitary ship and a System Defense Boat.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
Only capable of 2Gs with its engines, and limited to a model 2 fib, this craft has some difficulty contending with more modern designs. It does however, have the thickest armored, fully streamlined needle/wedge hull its technology level permits. It can carry a squad of marines for boarding actions and each crew member has their own stateroom for greater comfort on long patrols. There are no floor plates, so a spin habitat must be employed to combat the zero-G conditions. Armed with a twin pulse laser turret and a triple missile turret it has the best agility it can manage and a ten ton cargo hold for provisions.
