External Warhead Octet

The inclusion of an external warhead octet is easily fitted to the battle configuration of the Lorrell Gunship, but also imposes limitations. If mounted, the top triple Ion battery cannot be fired until the missiles are fired, or the Octect jetisoned. Also, some saucers are unable to properly engage the enemy if equiped with the Octet as it hinders upwards firelines. Once fired, or before, the Octet can be jetisoned fairly rapidly.

Supernova Anti Intrustion System

The most complex system on the spartan warship, each room of the ship is sealed with durasteel doors, while bulkheads seal off each section. If intrusion is detected, captain can order the section shut down, dead locking all doors and closing the sections bulkheads. The Supernova generators can then generate gravity to a massive degree in a designated sector, pinning anything to the floor, irregardless of size. Maximum gravity output: 11Gs.

Description

Designed to combat the desire by the Royal Family to focus spending on larger capital ships such as the Matriarch and the Conquerer, the Lorrell Gunship is the no frills alternative to frigate combat. Designed simply with the purpose of engaging the enemy, the craft lacks any cargo space, instead focusing the majority of its structure to weaponary.

The ship is cylindrical, much like a Corellian Gunship, with a triple ion battery on the bow as well as the four placed at 90 degree angles from each other on the hull. Troop completment is minimal, although a 5 man marine detail remains on the ship at all times.

Despite lacking even the simplest of pleasures, SOP calls for the craft to only ever be on operation for a month or two due to morale restrictions, although hardened crews are expected to be more able to handle longer terms of duty than green crews. Other SOP precedures onboard the craft include the dual particle ray sheilding system and standard hapan backup sheilds.
