Civilian/Private Fleet

Post by Arcalane »

ROYAL IMPERIAL FOUNDRY

Caliga

Multirole Cargo Transport
MASS: 2010/12100
ARM PRI.: 2x GUARDIAN Autocannon
SPD: 1
ACC: 0.05
TRN: 0.5

Both the Caliga and Focale boast abnormally high mass allowances to their oddly distributed center of mass, which resides near the engines. This makes them both incredibly unwieldy - especially with civilian engines for propulsion - but affords them much more mass allowance than one might expect... not that most choose to exploit that. Though both ships are merely different attachments on the same frame, they are referred to by different names and identifiers according to role for the sake of clarity and ease of communication.

As demonstrated above, the Caliga can come with many different cargo pods. To reduce confusion, all transports of this design hauling solid cargo, regardless of container format, are recognized as Caliga-class vessels. All transports of this design hauling liquid or gaseous cargo in large tanks are recognized as Focale-class vessels.

The Caliga's GUARDIAN Autocannons are identical to normal autocannons, save that they have 215° coverage, rather than 60°. I felt this was acceptable, given the Caliga's distinct lack of hull integrity.

Focale

Fuel/Liquids Tanker or HAZMAT Transport
MASS: ?????/12100
ARM PRI.: ?x ?
SPD: ?
ACC: ?
TRN: ?

Due to the high risk involved with sitting on several dozen tons of potentially volatile starship reactor fuel in a freighter with tissue paper for armour, the Focale is almost always operated by automated systems, which take input from designated allied vessels. It is adviseable to give these ships a wide berth in a combat zone, and even out of it, a single wayward Focale can freeze up an entire civilian shipping lane whilst it blunders around - no-one wants to risk a collision.
