Operational profile

Recognition and use

The Castor is a thirty-ton armed personnel boat carrying fourteen seated passengers under a two-person crew. Six-gravity acceleration, light armor, fuel processing, and a beam laser let it move specialists or boarding parties through contested local space.

A 5.45-ton hold carries baggage, equipment, or mission stores. The craft has one week of endurance, cannot jump, and depends on a parent ship or local base for sustained support.
