It is built on a 3,000-ton (SM +9) winged hull, with beam weapons optimized for ship-to-ship combat rather than planetary bombardment. It can lift off directly from planetary surfaces. Front Hull System * [1-2] Hardened Diamondoid Armor (total dDR 120). * [3] Habitat (1 luxury cabin,4 cabins,7 bunkrooms, four-bed automed sickbay, minifac fabricator,gym, shooting range). * [4!] Spinal Battery (fixed mount 3 GJ antiparticle beam). * [5] Tactical Array (comm/sensor 11). * [6] Hangar bay (100 ton capacity) * [core] Control Room (C9 computer, comm/sensor 9, six control stations).
