Modular Taskforce Cruiser
Name/Type: Modular Taskforce Cruiser
Designer/Manufacturer: Tagge Industries Shipyards Limited
Combat Role: Multi-Task Medium Transport
Length: 1,150 Meters
Speed: 40 MGLT, 800 KPH
Hyperdrive: x3
Shield Rating: 1920 SBD
Hull Rating: 994 RU
Weapons: 15 Medium Turbolasers.
The Modular Taskforce Cruiser was designed according to a new concept in the Imperial Navy, modularity. Rather than constructing specialized ships for each function, this vessel was designed to be reconfigured as needed. The cruiser has an underlaying structure that allows it to be built fast. It is a single frame with engines, skeleton crew quarters, life support system and command compartments, but in the middle of the frame is a single replaceable module with mission specific equipment. In just a day at an orbital dock, the cruiser can be changed from intelligence ship to hospital ship. The armament is light for a ship of its size, but it is intended to be a support ship, not a combat vessel. During dangerous missions, MTCs are normally escorted. Standard modules includes a survey module, an observation module, a hospital module, a rescue module and an interrogation module. Each mission module is an entire self-contained unit. The module need only be attached to the frame and connected to the power generators, life support and communications ports of the ship in order to work. It is believed that Tagge Industries is working on mini-modules so the Taskforce Cruiser can be outfitted for a variety of smaller-scale functions.
