From Andy:All id did was correct the measurements, I think maybe I might have did a little on the discussion, uh, did clean up the html a little, that’s about it.
Oh, and I didn’t create this.;)

RIN NADOW LOJM-Class Monitor

RPG Stats and Background by: Rick R. MORTIS.

AN AVERAGE RIN NADOW LOJM-CLASS MONITOR

The RIN NADOW LOJM-Class, or T’sentraedi Monitor as Terrans call it, was created to fufill a specific role in the T’sentrædi fleets. The Robotech Masters possessed a tremendously powerful wepon in the Reflex Cannon. Unfortunately, they had very few ships designed to carry such weaponry. While the NUPITENT VERIGNTIZ-Class flagship carried this weapon, the ship was way too expensive for mass-production.
The result of the program was the RIN NADOW LOJM-Class. At just over 12ØØm long, the ship was the second smallest in the fleet (only larger than the Scout). It carried relatively few Mecha and a relatively small armament, but it’s Reflex Cannon made it an invaluable asset. The Cannon itself was modeled along the same “bow split” design as the cannon on the larger flagship, giving the Monitor a long, somewhat stretched appearance resembling the bow portion of the QUEODEL MAGDOMILLA-Class command ship.
Initially, Monitors were only assigned to large fleets under the command of trusted senior officers. DOLZA and the Masters considered it too dangerous for potentially untrustworthy commanders (such as Khyron) to use this ship. Later, as the T’sentrædi fleet’s resources began to deplete, the ships were all re-assigned to a special fleet under the personal command of Lord DOLZA. These ships were used in the T’sentrædi assault on Earth, and accounted for the majority of Damage done to the planet. Most of them were destroyed in the counterattack by the SDF-1 and BREETAI’S fleet. A few survived and were either scrapped or used for components for the REF’s fleet.
The other infamous moment in this ships history was when Khyron used one in his final Attack on Macross City. The ship’s main gun was by this point nearly inoperable, although it did do enough damage to destroy the SDF-2 with a single hit. The ship was crippled by the SDF-1’s main gun, and destroyed when it rammed the SDF-ØØ1 minutes later.

7,5ØØ each
4ØØØ

Notes:
* Depleting the MDC of the forward section means that the forward third of the ship has been destroyed. This includes the main cannon and the command centre. Nothing on the ship, including life support, engines, and weapons will work, leaving the ship a floating wreck.
** Depleting the MDC of the main engines will force the ship to rely on its secondary engines. Depleting the MDC of the main engines AND secondary engines will leave the ship adrift in space. If in an atmosphere, the ship will crash (destruction of the main engines will render the antigravity system useless due to loss of power).

Speed and Statistical Data:
Speed (Sublight): Ø.ØØ1 speed of light.
Speed (Conventional Drives): Can maintain Ø.23g for 5 hours 6 minutes; Capable of 1.1g
for 38 minutes; and the emergency thrusters can propel a Zentraedi vessel at 2.1g for 1Ø.8 minutes.
Space Fold: Range Unlimited.
Planet bound: Can land if necessary but not designed to
maneuver in an atmosphere. Maximum speed limited to Mach 1.
Maximum Range: Unlimited (Protoculture generator has an estimated 3Ø year life span).
Length: 3,997 feet 4½ inches		Clearance: 1809 feet 6 inches.
Beam: 1250 feet 1½ inches.
Displacement: 25,3ØØ,ØØØ tons.
Fold System: Shik-Telnekulla fold system cluster.
Sublight Drive: Geteulmaqulla-Zollia gravity control system.
Gravity Control System: Geteulmaqulla-Zollia gravity control system.
Auxiliary Engine: Workl-Quatafilla macro nozzle cluster.
Cost And Availability About 1Ømillion€; Fairly rare, though. though it has become
more popular with the UGC due to it’s cost, it was never really popular with the malcontent crowd outside the T’sentrædi.

Weapons Systems:
1. Reflex Cannon: A smaller version of the incredibly destructive wepon found on the Zentraedi Flagship, and similar (but less powerful)
to the SDF-1’s main gun. To fire, the monitor needs 5 minutes (2Ø
rounds) to power up, then one minute (four rounds) before it can fire. When ready, the front of the ship opens up like a monsterous jaw, with
energy crackling between the two booms. The weapon destroys anything
in its path.
However, unlike NUCLEAR weapons, Reflex weaps are
NOT radioactive, and therefore life can return within hours, in theory,
if the heat had disipated.
MD: Absolutely destroys EVERYTHING in its path, regardless of
MDC and movement. ¡The only way to avoid obliteration is to avoid
being in the path of the beam! If used against a planet, the beam causes
3D6×1,ØØØ,ØØØ MD (¡!), leaving only a crater 1D6×1Ø miles across and
3D6×1ØØ feet deep. The resulting shockwave will also cause substantial
damage to surrounding terrain for an additional 1D6×5 miles from the
edge of the crater. (Note: A sufficiently strong force field can
deflect/absorb the beam if necessary. Examples of such fields include
multiple pinpoint barrier shields layered on top of each other. A force
field must have AT LEAST 2Ø,ØØØ MDC capacity before it can resist
a heavy particle beam of this magnitude.).
Range: 1ØØ,ØØØ miles at 1 mile wide (half that in an atmosphere).
Rate Of Fire: Once per 8 minutes (32 melees).
Payload: Effectively Unlimited, but limited to five times per hour.

2. Thirty Retractable Laser Turrets: Scattered across the ship. The
cannons are nomally concealed within the ship’s hull, but rise up when needed
to attack the enemy. Each turret can rotate 36Ø° with a 18Ø° arc of fire.
MD: 1D4×1ØØ MD each.
Range: 32Ø,ØØØkm (half in an atmosphere).
Rate Of Fire: Each turret can fire twice per melee.
Payload: Effectively unlimited.

3. Thirty Missile Turrets Scattered across the ship. The turrets are nomally concealed within the ship’s hull, but rise up when needed to attack the enemy. Each turret can rotate 36Ø° with a 18Ø° arc of fire.
Missile Types: Any type of Long Range Missile can be used. Reflex missiles are commonly used to avoid hitting friendly aircraft.
MD and Range: Varies.
Rate Of Fire: Each turret can fire one missile once per melee.
Payload: Effectively unlimited (hundreds of missiles).

4. Twenty Torpedo Tubes: Located along the sides of the ship. The tubes launch boosted long-Range missiles that fire straight ahead, but have a longer Range and faster flight speed.
Missile Types: Any type of Long Range Missile can be used. Reflex missiles are commonly used to avoid hitting friendly aircraft.
MD and Range: Varies, but 5Ø% longer and faster than listed.
Rate Of Fire: Each tube can fire one missile once per melee.
Payload: Effectively unlimited (hundreds of missiles).

5. Mecha: The main reason the RIN NADOW LOJM-Class has come into popularity with RDF’s is it’s fairly good Mecha capabilities, especially since the Mecha bays did not have to be converted.

1,5ØØ Veritechs.
2,ØØØ Guardians.
5ØØ Destoids.
3,ØØØ Space Fighters.
9 Officer’s Pods (Old Type).
Ø4 Shuttles.
2Ø T’sentrædi Hover platforms.
Exact types of each varies by ownership.

    Conversion Notes:
    The info on the Gunship is limited to its breif appearance in the footage and some very sketchy information. The Macross II version is purely hypothetical on my part (although I see no reason why not to use it).
