Operational profile

Recognition and use

The Janus is a heavily armored two-hundred-ton patrol ship for customs, policing, and interception within a single system. Six-gravity acceleration, advanced electronics, two weapon turrets, three point-defense lasers, and a protected launch let its eight-person crew pursue traffic and conduct boardings.

A brig, emergency and low berths, fuel processing, and a 49.5-ton hold support detainees, rescue work, evidence, and stores. The ship has no jump drive and must rely on local bases or a carrier for interstellar movement.
