Emperor Mongoose
Originally submitted by GSbAG as a new standard scout/courier, but it was declined because of cost. Despite using civilian grade hull and drives, the design committee could not resist including lots of equipment they thought would be useful in a frontier environment, driving up the cost. Designed to TL12 standard as a reasonable compromise between ease of maintenance and automation availability.
It is now available to the civilian market for discerning customers who require the famed GSbAG quality. The living quarters is fully customisable in the "Individual" program.
An 8 dT module with access to the living quarters and an exterior hatch allows mission specific equipment. The default module contains two standard staterooms, but e.g. libraries, workshops, medical bays, laboratories, and docking spaces can be included.
Significantly upgraded sensors, computers, and automation compared to the old Type S. Since it is expected that a very small crew is going to operate the ship the bridge is cramped, but a separate sensor operator compartment with two workstations allows an expert to get the most out of the sensors.
Robust drives with emergency power system and solar panels to conserve fuel while stationary. Fully streamlined with fuel scoops and purifiers (10 dT / 24 h)
100 dT, J-2, M-2, available in quantity with a base price of MCr 50.
Computer: m/15 and a m/10fib backup, with Virtual Crew, Intellect, Jump Control, Fire Control, Evade, and an extensive library of expert software to aid the crew with reconnoissance, contact and maintenance.
All crew positions can be automated, potentially with full voice control.
Military sensors with Extension Net and Improved signal processing (DM+2). Additional Life Scanner and Probe Drones to survey planets or game reserves. Mineral Detection Suite optional.
A single turret with quad pulse lasers as default, any standard turret can be used, but with a maximum power of 20.
4 staterooms ( plus possibly 2 more in module )
2 low berths for medical emergencies. A TL14 autodoc can be substituted at additional cost.
11 dT cargo space with foldable acceleration benches for 44 passengers and 11 dT collapsible fuel bladders.
With a flexible, heavy duty towing system it can carry up to 100 dT in drop tanks, external cargo, and/or towed craft while maintaining J-1, M-1 performance.
Can resupply other craft with up to 20 dT fuel and/or supplies per hour, so can act as a mobile base for small craft operations.
