Description: Little more than a modernized Lambda-class shuttle, the Niathal-class is a standard multirole shuttle or small transport. Standard Mon Calamari redundant shields echo the original Lambda's dual generators. Its weapons loadout is comparable to a Lambda, though trading some of the big laser cannons for light and specialty warhead launchers. Easily outperformed by true gunships and carrying far fewer personnel and vehicles than true dropships, the Niathal-class is flexible and, in some ways, unimpressive apart from the legendary Mon Calamari durability.

It excels as a patrol ship, exploration craft, capital ship service vehicle, diplomatic pinnace, commando team deployment vehicle, and long-range personal transport. It is not, however, a frontline combat vehicle. Its weapons loadout allows it to disable persistent enemies and leave, or deal with pirate vessels that may have captives aboard.

By default, it carries five small beacons with a transmission range of 5 AU, allowing it to assist in mapping and hyperlane creation.

By request from the Tion Hegemony, Silk Holdings has created two additional lines for the Niathal lines. which is the focus of the MC15T line. These two shuttles the Combat Rescue and Towing lines are created to assist bounty hunters under hire of the Tion Hegemony as well as members of Tion's TISS. While the majority of trim levels for the Niathal are open market, the towing and combat rescue are created especially for Tion and any and all business partners of Silk Holdings for use in the specific systems.

Development Thread: N/A
Intent: To provide a modification of a classic Chaos design and introduce two new trim levels for use by the Tion Hegemony.

My only request is you remove the tractor beams. The craft is just too small to power them and use them effectively. Other than that this seems fine.

Note: not trying to cause waves

The first submission of this ship (as its a modification and to bring the sub up to date) allowed for 1 tractor beam (http://starwarsrp.net/topic/20868-mc15-niathal-class-shuttle/)

Is there anyway to make the towing loadout have the two tractor beams? Maybe if I sacrifice the missile launchers?

Well since its a modification of something already approved as such then I don't have much room to have a say in it.

Sending to secondary.
