Jump Pod
design by Derek Stanley
The Hecate small 250dt, fast 3g TL12 SDB capable of slugging it out with a
Shukugan or Patrol Cruiser. The concept was fairly simple. Squeezing a
capable ship into that small a frame was the difficult part, especially
at TL12 but I think I've managed quite admirably.
The second part of the concept was to make it an semi-dependent operator
capable of travelling to other star systems without the use of a battle
tender. This proved slighly more problematic, but again I think I've
carried it off rather well with the creation of a Jump-pod. The idea is
that this pod can simple attach itself to the exterior of the SDB, and
jump it to a new system. The pod has a cargo hold capable of carrying
30 missiles and can refuel and operate as an independent starship.
