WEAPONS:

             PRIMARY (OFFENSIVE):
             2x Norking RFL-404 rapid-fire 40-megawatt quad laser cannon turrets; Effective Range: 100miles; Payload: unlimited with FEFR-400 fusion reactor; ROF: up to 10 quad blasts per ten seconds with a cyclic rate of 60 quad blasts per minute.

             SECONDARY (OFFENSIVE):
             4x Bohing STL-01B space torpedo launcher; Missile Type: MHST-01 2000-pound SMART-guided space torpedo with 239-Kiloton yield nuclear warhead; Effective Range: 27 miles; Payload: 2 space torpedoes each; ROF: 1 or both torpedoes at once.

ELECTRONICS:
             1x Microwave Radio Communications array with a 4000-mile range.
             1x RADAR array with a range of 5000 miles.
             1x Gravitational Control/Antigravity unit Effect: provides artificial lift,g-force compensation and enhanced maneuverability.

DEFENSE SYSTEMS:
              6x Militia Military Industries ND-25 25-megawatt nuclear dampener generators; RANGE: 2.5 miles; Effect: Random due to numerous variables. In general, the nuclear dampeners provided moderate to considerable resistance to energy weapons and were able to cause missile warheads to either explode or go inert within its area of effect.
