Gremlin Cutter

design by Matti Laakso

The A-5 is designed specifically for the needs of Federated Suns Coast Guard and the Federal Customs Agency. It is used for orbital security, customs inspections, as well as short-range patrolling.

However, the A-5 does not have wilderness refueling capabilities - it is capable of emergency re-entry only. All A-5s are serviced and refueled on orbit (nearly all starports have some orbital components). Another interesting feature is that while the ship is capable of accelerating at 4G for over 10 hours, prolonged high-G maneuvers are not recommended: the TL 11 grav plates can only compensate up to 2G. Because of this, the A-5 shares many features with its pre-gravitic counterparts, including swiveling bunks with G-webbing, a pair of powered towing rails running from engineering compartment to the bridge, and a general feel of ruggedness rarely felt aboard gravitic vessels.
