It has 2G's acceleration and a powerful factor 5 thorium fission reactor coupled with solar panels, a fuel cell and batteries which combine to produce 500MW which is just enough to power the laser pulsar in combat. It is modest with a spin habitat with one small craft stateroom in each end. The flight crew have one end and the two marines share the other. There is a three ton cargo bay.

Weapons: The rocket launcher has three ready missiles and storage for nine more in a magazine. The three ready loads are a probe, a HE dog fight missile with IR seeker, and a thermo nuclear Mk 48 ship killer torpedo, with radio link command guidance and optical terminal homing and home on jammer options.
