Note: Usual conditions apply.

Speed and Statistical Data:

Maximum Hover Speed: 6Ø knots Maximum Hover Ceiling: Transatmospheric; Can also push other Landships into orbit (HAYES-Class require two for safe lifting). Maximum Sailing Speed: 1Ø knots. Range In Hover: No limit; You could easily raise the anchors/grapples and continuously cruise forever. Height and Beam: 1ØØ feet around the main chamber. Length: 3ØØ feet with pusher intact. Weight: 1Ø,ØØØ tons. Displacement: Around 5,ØØØ tons. NOTE: Sailing in these vessels, while doable, is not recommended as a standard practice. Cargo: 1 ton of CRITICAL supplies can be carried is ABSOLUTELY necessary. Power System: These ships are usually equipped with THREE types of power; The captain holds full discretionary powers WHICH is to be considered primary, secondary, and tertiary. 1: Small Nuclear Reactor; Output: 2,5ØØ KWh at 1ØØ,ØØØ hsp; Lifespan: 1Ø to 15 years. 2: Large Hydro-Cell Rocket Engines; Output: 1,5ØØ KWh at 75,ØØØ hsp; Lifespan: Though exact ranges vary based on use, generally there is 1,ØØØ gallons per every 1Øس feet of hull below the weather deck. Every gallon equals ABOUT 2Ø running hours; at maximum speed, this would equate to 4ØØ nautical miles. Higher speeds reduce fuel efficiency upt to 15%.

3: Solar Sails; Also can be used for wind sailing. Output: 1,2ØØ KWh at 65,ØØØ hsp; Lifespan: Unlimited. 4: Reserve Batteries; Used for emergency power and at night if running low-power (basically hovering at anchor). Output: 7ØØ KWh at 5,ØØØ hsp; Lifespan: 4ØØ hours before serious drain shows; will usually last another 4Ø before grounding/stalling at sea. NOTE: This is by no means a primary power source; The batteries MUST be recharged as often as possible. Flight Systems: Grav Pods. Thrust Systems: Primary: KKS-451 Traction Drive; Output: 21,ØØØ hsp at 43,ØØØ pounds thrust; Range: Unlimited. Secondary: HCS-413 Hydro-Cell Scram Jets; Output: 2Ø,ØØØ hsp at 39,ØØØ pounds thrust; Range: Varies on use. Tertiary: Solar Sails; Solar sails are the preferred method of thrust for passenger liners. Output: Varies GREATLY by weather conditions; Range: Unlimited if favorable weather. Quadiary: 1 to 4 screw propellers; Only useful in the water Output: 1Ø,ØØØ hsp at 25,ØØØ pounds thrust; Range: Unlimited. Hull Life: 2Ø years before SLEP, 1Ø-15 after. Cost: 5ØØ,ØØØ€. Availability: Special order, generally taking 6 to 8 weeks for delivery. Black Market Cost and Availability: Stolen ships are occasionally available, but the market for these HIGHLY EXPENSIVE platforms just isn’t big enough to justify anything over a yacht. Still, they can be had for a “reasonable price” on and almost constant basis.

Weapons Systems:

1. Cutting Stick: Essentially nothing more than a blunt-tipped, heavily serrated knife on an approximately 3 foot pole. Ideal for cutting lines without getting too close. Purpose: Cutting line under tension. Damage: 1D4 SD; No PS bonuses apply. Range: 1 to 3 yards, depending on who made it and what mood he was in at the time. Attacks per melee: Per user. Payload: Unlimited (until some asshole breaks it). 2. T’sentrædi Light Laser Turrets (2): Still a favorite in the REF and RDF’s, this stalwart weapons system is mounted on the dorsal and ventral sides of the central chamber. Purpose: Mostly Defense. MD: 1D6×2Ø per turret; Both turrets can be trained on any target greater than 1ØØ feet away. Range: 15 miles (double in space); The range has been reduced to prevent these ships form being used as de facto assault boats. Rate of Fire: Once per melee per turret. Payload: Unlimited.

3. Ramming: A BAD idea, but these ships have a massive crumple area in the bow, allowing it to do so with little risk to the hull. Purpose: Anti-Ship Assault. MD: 1 MD per ever 4 knots. Range: Touch. Rate of Fire: One time only; After that, the crumple zone is ruined and further such attacks will destroy the hull. Payload: Once (twice if you’re suicidal).

Civilian Features:

Bow Crumple Zone: This IS a tug boat, after all; It needs to be able to push as much as pull other objects. The bow cushion allows it to do so without risking the hull. ESM: Radar Detector. Passively detects other radars being operated. Radar: Civilian grade radar. Range 5Ø miles, can track up to 25 individual targets. 95% reliability (ØØ% against unfriendly stealthed vehicles). Blue Force Tracker: Identifies friend from foe. Overlays the information on both the radar and HUD, ensuring that friendly forces are not accidentally targeted. GPS: Standard tracking device. Ties into the Blue Force Tracker. Anti-Jamming System: Reduces Electronics Countermeasure by ¾ (decrease skill level appropriately). HUD: Displays maps, radar, targeting information, and any OTHER information the wearer wants directly in front of the user. Virtual Map: Displays a continuously-updating map of local terrain for the pilot. Takes data from other friendly units in the area. Effective land navigation of 85% as updates come. Good to 5ØØ miles. Specific range can be adjusted in 1 mile increments. Video Camera: Records from the HUD and HDD. 5Ø hours of recording available.

Survival Pack: A pack of simpler emergency survival supplies: Sleeping bag Black light GPS First aid kit (bandages, gauze, bandage tape, pads, antiseptic/analgesic) Plasma torch (for small repairs and starting fires) Repair kit (with MDC Repair Spray) Sewing kit (a small spool of thread and 5 needles) 7 star flares (25Ø foot apogee) 7 white parachute flares (1,5ØØ foot apogee) 1ØØ feet of black or brown parachute cord (15Ø lbs tensile strength) 2-5 days rations 2 gallons water Water purification kit (good for about 1Ø gallons) Manual-inflating liferaft (for at-sea abandonment) Self-inflating lifevest (15# buoyancy). The liferaft can double as a Pup Tent if so desired (though most pilots prefer to use a parachute for that, if anything, due to the fact that it is easier to hide). Electromagnetic Grappling Cables (12 to 3Ø): These ships were strictly created to tow disabled vessels; Consequently they need cables to do so. Tensile Strength: 2Ø,ØØØ tons per cable. Winch Strength: 15,ØØØ tons per cable. Electromagnetic Head Grip Strength: 5Ø,ØØØ tons; That’s MORE hold than the cables can even safely take. Maximum Cable Length: 2,ØØØ feet. Automated Launching Mechanism: Automatically launches the head up to 2ØØ feet; Typically only used in space.

Military Features: Only available on Military MULES; These are IN ADDITION TO the above.

Radar: Combat grade radar. Range 1ØØ miles, can track up to 5Ø individual targets. 95% reliability (24% against unfriendly stealthed vehicles). The ships STILL have the civilian grade radar as well. FLIR/SLIR: Forward and Side Looking Infrared. Allows pilot to get visuals on targets at night. AMC/FD (2): Anti-Missile Chaff/Flare Dispensers. Actually launches a glob of burning magnesium/aluminum alloy to confuse both radar AND heat sensory systems. Fires off Ø4 chaff/flares each time it is activated. The system is KNOWN to work on all KNOWN radar and infrared systems, but concerns continue that somewhere out there their MIGHT be a system that will be totally unaffected by the system. Reduce effects by 2Ø% against smart missiles (add +2Ø% to rolls for smart missiles.) Effect: Ø1-5Ø Enemy missile or missile volley detonates in chaff cloud- Missiles are all destroyed. 51-75 Enemy missile or missile volley loses track of real target and veers away in wrong direction (may lock onto another target). 76-ØØ No effect, missile is still on target. Also note that the chaff cloud will also blind nearby heat sensors (and optically based sensors at night) for 1 melee. They will suffer the following penalties: Reduce melee attacks/actions, and combat bonuses by half. Duration: 1D4 melee rounds. Payload: 6Ø chaff/flares. Each time the system is engaged, the system fires off Ø4 chaff/flares.

AJP: Active Jamming Pod. Causes -25% to detection but when it is active, other vehicles/bases can detect that it is jamming, and some missiles will home in on jamming signals. Jamming also causes a -4 penalty to all radar guided weapons. The jamming pod is mounted on the mast. LDP (4): Launched Decoy Pods. Located on the fantail. The ships carry a special pod that carries four advanced launched decoy drones, specially designed lures that creates a radar image to mimic the ship. This system has been successfully deployed against SEVERAL alien radar-type sensors (including one that works off of sound), but have no effect on Invid Protoculture sensors. M.D.C.: 5 Effects: The decoy has a 98% chance of fooling ordinary non military radars and non smart guided missiles, and a 9Ø% chance of fooling military grade radars and advanced smart missiles. Range: Released to go wherever it wants. Can fly independently for about 3Ø minutes. Rate of Fire: Per pilots attacks per melee. Payload: 16 Decoys total. Optic Systems: Infrared: 2Ø miles, Magnification: 15×; Ultra Violet: 22 miles, Magnification: 25×; Night Vision: 24 miles, Magnification: 8×; Color Filters: 19 miles, Magnification: 2ØØ×
