====== Wywern fighter/patrol ship ====== This new heavy fighter/mini patrol ship is being built in large numbers to allow having mobile fighting force that can be spread really thinly. This ship was originally designed as a heavily armored, long-range, interstellar fighter bomber built for raiding and deep-strike missions. It is fast and well-protected with a mix of armor and force screens, as well as a defensive turret. It uses a 19 meters long, 100-ton (SM +6) streamlined hull. Unlike most fighters, it has a habitat with a cabin to provide additional comfort and life support on long missions and a bunkroom for a bording party or similar. This has caused the actual deployments to be patrol/scout ship missions instead of fighter. Front Hull System * [1-2] Hardened Nanocomposite Armor (total dDR 40). * [3-4!] Major Batteries (fixed mount 30 MJ improved UV laser each). * [5] Control Room (C8 computer, comm/sensor 6, and two control stations). * [6] Medium Batteries (three fixed mount 20cm missile launchers). In most deployments one or two of the launchers are loaded with drones and/or probes. Central Hull System * [1] Hardened Nanocomposite Armor (dDR 20). * [2!] Major Battery (turret with 30 MJ improved UV laser). * [3] Tactical Array (comm/sensor 8). * [4] Habitat (one stateroom) * [5] Habitat (one bunkroom). * [6-core] Super Fusion Reactor (four Power Points each). Rear Hull System * [1] Hardened Nanocomposite Armor (dDR 20). * [2-3!] Super reactionless Engines (10G acceleration each). * [4-5!] Stardrive Engine (FTL-1.5). * [6] Defensive ECM. * [core!] Light Force Screen (dDR 30). It has gravitic compensators. The crew consists of a pilot and a gunner. The hull has radar stealth, multispectral chameleon. ^TL^ Spacecraft ^kHP ^Hnd/SR^ HT ^Move ^LWt.^ Load^ SM^ Occ^ dDR^Spd^ Cost^Prod/Inv^Notes^ |11| [[Wyvern]]|30(20) |+2/4| 12 |20G| 100| 0| +6 |6ASV |28/14/14 +30|3x |$23.36M|53.5k/267k| |
