MIRIYA PARINO-STERLING-Class Interdiction Ship

A MIRIYA PARINO-STERLING-Class Interdiction Ship

Normally, UGC Policy restricts the Spacy from using Patrol-related technology; the MIRIYA PARINO-STERLING-Class Interdiction Ship, however, is an exception from this rule. The MIRIYA-Class was originally built for the Patrol; BLOCKADER-Class vsls, while more than able to handle vsls attempting to run a blockade once close to a planet, were hard-pressed to handle a ship atempting to enter the system. Generally, a blockade-runner could ENTER an interdicted planet easily enough. Getting back into space was the trick. the MIRIYA-Class, however, have four large globes that house gravity well generators which litterally grab onto a vsl in-system, even when travelling on FTL Drives, preventing them from getting close to a planet. They will not, however, have any effect on vsls traveling in hyperspace (under spacefold). In conjuction with BLOCKADER-Class vsls, the MIRIYA-Class are used to blockade planets or moons, and by fleet commanders on the edge of a battle area to prevent enemy ships from escaping. Over 1ØØ of these vsls surround FBX 2155532Ø at all times (FBX 2155532Ø is the most-heavily interdicted planet in the entire UGC). The Galactic Intelligance Bureau also has about a dozen of these vsls, and the Patrol has 1,ØØØ. They are a CRITICAL asset to the UGC.
Despite the relatively simple nature of the MIRIYA-Class, they are VERY heavily armed, and more than able to take care of themselves if attacked; With 6Ø T’sentrædi Style Heavy Laser turrets, 2Ø Automated Missile Batteries, 2ØØ Space Fighters, 25Ø Guardians, and 5Ø Veritechs, as well as a STRONG assortment of Destroid and Hovertanks, these are NOT the ships te average blockade runner wants to run into- Even enemy warship commanders are wary of falling into one of these vsls.

Speed and Statistical Data:
Spacefold: Equpied.
FTL: Factor 1Ø
Cruising Speed: Factor 1 or less.
In Atmosphere: 5 MPH; Can only BARELY return to orbit IF at a proper aero-spaceport.
Clearance: 329 feet
Beam: 657 feet
Length: 1,969 feet
Weight: 2 million tons (weighs so much more because of the Gravity Well Generators).
Cargo: 6,Ø63 tons.
Power Systems:
Primary: FKr 41ØØ Fusion Pile Reactors (5); Output: 551,ØØØ KwH, more than enough to do EVERYTHING and them some.		Lifespan: 6 years at nornaml useage, 1 year if the ships been worked hard. Secondary: Solar Sail Array; Output: 413,ØØØ KwH; Lifespan: Unlimited, but can not achieve FTL; Used for station keeping in system. Can support ALL missions with sail array alone, however.
Tertiary: Reserve Batteries (5ØØ,ØØØ); Output: 25,ØØØ KwH; Lifespan: 3 weeks on emergancy power only; The ship is now a very large lifeboat.
Cost and Availability: Each of these vsls, despite their relatively SMALL size (especially when compared to other capital ships), cost 2ØØ MILLION credits and take 1Ø YEARS to build; This is due to the gravity well Generators, which are some much more complicated- And expesive- That any normal grav pods. There are currently 1ØØ,ØØØ of these vsls in each galaxy, and three times that number being laid down.
Black Market: About the same, but much more rare; This is HIGHLY restricted military hardware, and the components for them are hard to come by, making tracking of illegally constructed ones far easier. The gravity well generators, the only component that would make capture of these vsls worth while, are equipped with self-destruct mechanisms, to ensure they can not easily be captured. To date, only one, TANKRED, was captured, by a well-funded black-market supported team. Her whereabouts are not yet known.

Weapons Systems: Note: “Weapons Systems” refers to normal baseline weapons systems; Before the vessels even come off the skegs, they are usually re-designed with some extra weapons.
1. Gravity Well Generators: This is the primary “weapon” of the ship; Litterally
grabs any vsl it’s pointed at and holds onto it; Not “always” effective, and rarely effective entirely on it’s own, but will slow any vsl down for a short while, allowing a boarding vsl to come alongside.
Effect: Creates a gravitaition effect equal to that of a white dwarf star in a 16³ mile area.
Number of attacks per melee: Equal to user’s attacks per melee (treat it as a laser battery for game purposes).
Range: 2,ØØØ miles.
Payload: Unlimited.

2. T’sentrædi Style Heavy Laser (6Ø): Still a highly effective design, it is an REF standard weapon throughout the fleet.
MD: 1D4×1ØØ per blast.
Rate of Fire: Twice per melee.
Range: 2ØØ,ØØØ miles.
Payload: Unlimited.

3. Automated Missile Battery (2Ø): 2Ø of these batteries are on each vessel.
Missile Type: Any MRM or LRM
Purpose: Anti-Ship Defense.
MD and Range: Varies by type used.
Rate of Fire: Twice per melee.
Payload: Up to 1,ØØØ.

4. Defensive Laser Batteries (1ØØ): Each vessel has 1ØØ defensive laser batteries for anti-missile and meteorite defense.
MD: 5D6 per blast.
Rate of Fire: Per gunners attacks per melee plus bonuses (generally 4 or 5 per melee).
Range: 5ØØ feet.
Payload: Unlimited.

5. Ships, Fighters, Power Armor, and Robots:
Shuttles- 1ØØ
Space Fighters- 2ØØ
Guardian Fighters- 25Ø (various types)
Veritech Fighters- 5Ø (mostly Super and Strike VF-1J, S, AND Z‘s and Alpha or Super Alpha’s)

Destroids- About 1ØØ
Standard Hovertanks and other hover vehicles- As many as 5Ø
Veritech Hovertanks- 2Ø
