Description
Designed and built at Jaradin for the Unity of Sed. These ships operate within the Far Home Sector. The TL–12 partially streamlined close structure hulls are lightly armored. They carry enough fuel, internally for a single jump 2, with a jump 1 reserve for strategic withdrawal. They can carry drop tanks with 28 days of power plant fuel and an additional jump 2 as needed. There are in service with the Unity of Sed Navy. They are equipped with fuel scoops and on board fuel purification for wilderness gas giant ocean refueling. The weapons include two dual fusion gun turrets for point defense, two triple beam laser turrets, and a missile bay for offense. The defenses include the descent hull armor and two triple sand caster turrets. They have a pair of model 6 fib computers mounted adjacent to the bridge and are capable of 4 G acceleration and have a 4 agility rating. They have a small marine platoon equipped with drop capsules for orbital insertions and a 6 ton G Carrier and they can carry a 40 ton Cudin Class Attack Boat. These ships are used as escorts and serve well in that role.
