Operational profile

Recognition and use

The Caduceus is a protected twenty-ton launch that carries ten seated passengers under a single pilot. Six-gravity acceleration and four points of crystaliron armor let it make exposed transfers more safely than an ordinary utility boat.

The launch remains unarmed and non-jump-capable, with one week of endurance and a 4.9-ton hold. It depends on a parent ship or nearby base for strategic movement and sustained support.
