Banyihmihlzeh-Class Armored Assault Shuttle TL-16

BARD PAPER: SARA0049

Banyihmihlzeh Class Armored Assault Shuttle

Built by Nyolenambih Inc. in it's shipyards on Darrian (0627 Spinward Marches), the Banyihmihlzeh is one of the most resistant and reliable ship built by this company, designed to survive laser turret hits before unloading its complement of 30 Battle-Dressed marines.

This ship is named after a small fish native from Zamine (0421 Spinward Marches). This small Piranha like fish, kill it prey by latching on it and injecting acidic juices.

Encased under 10cm of Bonded Super Dense plating, this ship is capable of surviving a direct hit from a 140 Mj laser hit without any damages. It is also fitted with an EMM Masker system and two 180,000 km EMS Jammers. Along with it's 6G of accelleration and more than 60 G-Turns of reaction-mass, this ensure that the ship will be able to close on it's opponent.

Once near its opponent (within 1km), the three Magnetic Grapples can be fired on the ennemy and the ship towed against it's opponent hull. Once withing 100 meters from the target, three 350 Mj Fusion Guns are used to punch a hole in the hull.

For it's defense, the ship rely on a 180 Mj Laser Turret and a SandCaster Turret. Most of ship's important systems have a backup: AEMS, PEMS, PEMS antenna, etc. It was clear that the best possible sensors would be used in this ship on the active side.

Unfortunatelly all those systems means that the crew accommodation can be considered as cramped. Ship's crew have double-occupancy smal staterooms, while the marines are accomodated in bunks. Although a sick bay and a medic are included to treat casualties during and after boarding actions, crew moral will certainly be low and should be rotated.

A downgraded TL:F version is also available to be built in other shipyards in the regency.
