Monterian Planetary Navy
On the planet Montero (world), with the assistance of several corporate and noble investors, a small security squadron was built with local resources. The system navy deploys 5,950 tons of shipping, the Monterian Planetary Navy is primarily concerned with trade security and convoy escort duty. They operate directly from the starport and have no facilities of their own. In theory, the baron and knight are responsible for this force. Their mandate to protect the world in the name of the emperor, is part of their oath and vow.
(11) Patrol Cutters One squadron of these is permanently assigned to the starport. They conduct search and rescue operations and render emergency assistance to ships in distress within 100 diameters. They are fast (6Gs) but not agile. They carry a powerful model 5 computer on the bridge which is capable of accurate targeting and tracking tasks. There is a single fusion cannon mounted for point defense. Two specialists are carried for rescue missions and boarding actions. They wear combat armor and carry Gauss weapons.
