The ship is capable of Jump-2. It carries fifty triple sand caster turrets, in five batteries as defensive measures.

They can carry a pair of 1,000 dton Rysos class Battle Barges. This capacity can be dynamically reconverted to suit mission needs and parameters. Modular research labs, exploration vessels can be supported for university field research. Passenger modules can be fitted for large numbers of low berths or cabins as needed, as well.
