Operational profile

Recognition and use

This twenty-ton fast launch moves ten seated passengers and four tons of cargo at six gravities. Crystaliron armor, an airlock, and a streamlined hull suit frequent transfers between a patrol ship, orbital facilities, and planetary surfaces.

The launch is unarmed and has neither jump drive nor sleeping accommodation. Its two-week endurance and compact cargo bay make it a capable local utility craft, but it remains dependent on a parent ship or base for interstellar travel and sustained support.
