Modular Taskforce Cruiser | |
|
The Star Hauler-class, aka Modular Taskforce Cruiser, was designed according to a new
concept in the Imperial Navy, modularity. Rather than constructing specialized ships for
each function, this vessel was designed to be reconfigured as needed. The cruiser has an
underlaying structure that allows it to be built fast. It is a single frame with engines,
skeleton crew quarters, life support system and command compartments, but in the middle of
the frame is a single replaceable module with mission specific equipment. In just a day at
an orbital dock, the cruiser can be changed from intelligence ship to hospital ship. The
armament is light for a ship of its size, but it is intended to be a support ship, not a
combat vessel. During dangerous missions, MTCs are normally escorted. Standard modules
includes a survey module, an observation module, a hospital module, a rescue module and an
interrogation module. Each mission module is an entire self-contained unit. The module need only be attached to the frame and connected to the power generators, life support and communications ports of the ship in order to work. It is believed that Tagge Industries is working on mini-modules so the Taskforce Cruiser can be outfitted for a variety of smaller-scale functions. Member Availability:
