Union (of) Garth Space Navy Design Plan

This vessel is constructed from a standard design plan which uses a time-tested design features. Assembled from largely pre-fabricated kits, commercial shipyards can quickly build these ships. A naval architectural firm produces these plans in four weeks for 1% of the final ship cost. Because these hulls are so standardized and have been in use for so long, a 10% discount is available.

These hulls are familiar and easy to build. With a small down payment these vessels are made available with government backed financing.

Hull

This standard hull costs 48 MCr. and 6 MCr. to streamline it.

Engineering Section

Drives are installed in the 85 ton engineering section.

It mounts stock H class drives, which in this size hull that produces jump 2, 2G acceleration and 2 power rating. These cost 176 MCr. installed.

Main Compartment

The sloop has an 515 ton main compartment.

• Bridge: 20 ton standard controls and sensors for 3 MCr.

• Computer: model 5 12/25 which is 5 tons and costs 45 MCr.
