DEFENSE SYSTEMS:

            LIGHT BENDING SHIELDS
         1x Ceres Research LBS-700K; Effective Range: hull; NUMBER: 1F; POWER REQ: 700,000-megawatts; Effect: Most sensors have a 30% chance of detecting the ship. Lasers and PHELACs do no damage to shield, provides complete protection. Makes the ship totally invisible in the visible light spectrum.

            DEFLECTOR SHIELD GENERATORS
           6x Europa Research ER-DF-2000A LVL-2 Gravitonic deflector field generators; Effect: has an output of 432 Terajoules and a regeneration rate of 43.2 Terajoules every ten seconds.

Description/Overview:
           The SU-88 series was simply a refit/upgrade of the SU-81 space sub. The main upgrades being the PHELAC turrets being replaced with MAULER meson cannons.
