It mounts Jump drive-C, Maneuver drive-C, and Power plant-C, giving performance of Jump-3 and 3G acceleration. Fuel tankage for 90.0 tons supports the power plant and one Jump-3. Adjacent to the bridge is a model/2 bis computer. There are four staterooms and no low berths. The ship has two hardpoints and two tons allocated to fire control. Installed on the hardpoints are two single turrets: Each mounts one beam laser. There is one ship's vehicle: A ship's boat. Cargo capacity is 5.0 tons. The hull is streamlined.
The Vargr Courier requires a crew of four: pilot, navigator, engineer, and medic. Double occupancy permits the addition of up to four others, such as gunners, emissaries, or other passengers. The ship is not intended for commercial passenger carriage. The Vargr Courier costs MCr128.872 (...including architect's fees, but not standard discount; prices may vary), and takes 12 months to build.
