STANDARD FEATURES

• (Provide all of your submission's standard features, including non-combat items, here in a list -or- alternatively simply state 'all standard features'. This includes all features that are common for vessels of this class. Please link to all Factory Submissions used. Links: Starship Weapons, Approved Technology, Shields, Engines)
• Crew: Captain, 3 pilots, Astronavigator, 30 engineers, 30 mechanics, 2 medics, 6 gunners, 1 administrator, 5 officers, and up to 50 soldiers (grunts/security)
• May carry up to 50 additional “passengers” (prisoners)
• Cold fusion reactor: Ship has an extensive energy supply and Reserve
• Atmospheric hull: Ship designed to fly through the atmosphere.

ADVANCED SYSTEMS

• LIDAR: A sensor that allows determining distances from a laser emitter to an object or surface. It is widely used to recognize other spacecraft, planets and the distances between them.
• Radar: The radar system, a planetary technology adapted for use in deep space, provides a basic detection and tracking capability for interstellar spacecraft.
• Inhibitors: It is a basic countermeasures system used to circumvent the radars, sonars or LIDAR of other ships.
• Distributed antenna: The hull of the ship has different integrated antennas that increase the range of the sensors.
• x4 Heavy Deck Turret (Heavy laser cannon): Focused energy weapon capable of melting targets, creating explosions or disintegrating objects. It is very ineffective against shields.

STRENGTHS

• Auxiliary Shuttle (Up to 50ton)
• Ultra-dense hull: Dense shielding to prevent damage from tachyon weapons attacks and the like.
• Gunmettle Alloy Deflector: Energy deflector shields can stop a limited amount of incoming enemy fire before overloading.
• Basic cloaking abilities; applies only to enemy detection systems (see inhibitors above)

WEAKNESSES

• Extremely low maneuverability; not meant for pursuit.
• Low offensive capabilities; meant to transport ground troops and heavy artillery vehicles, not playing a major role in combat.

DESCRIPTION
(Describe some of the history behind the submission. Please provide a detailed account or link of each special feature that is listed in this submission.
