Operational profile

Recognition and use

This twenty-ton armed launch carries ten seated passengers and a small cargo load at six gravities. Crystaliron armor, a beam laser, an airlock, and streamlining equip it to deliver boarding or prize crews, recover survivors, and move personnel between a cruiser, stations, and planetary surfaces.

The launch has no jump drive or sleeping accommodation and carries only two weeks of power-plant fuel. Its weapon and high acceleration make it more capable than a civilian transfer craft, but it remains dependent on a parent ship or base for interstellar movement, ammunition, and sustained support.
