Combat
Support Ships
Low Observable Scout (LOS)
� Major TomClass
The Major Tom class Low Observable Scout is a small,
lightly manned surveillance and electronic attack platform
designed to mount C2W and INT operations inside a hostile
sphere of control. Scouts often fly along with fighter craft
on strike missions in order to provide additional "eyes
and ears" for the squadron, as well as a high-powered jamming
capability. These assets are equipped with a specially enhanced
ES/A-9R package, a hyper-spectral scanner, a single PDL
turret and a crew of three. In addition, the LOS is largely
self-sufficient, capable of independent operations for weeks
at a time without resupply or maintenance.
Supply and Maintenance Ship (SAM)
� Fingers
of Dawn Class
The
Fingers of Dawn class Supply and Maintenance Ship
is the primary logistics and mobility support ship for the
HCBG and the PRG. These assets never operate outside of
a battlegroup, and rarely transit between theaters without
an armed escort. Possessed of little in the way of self-defense
systems beyond a few PDL turrets, the SAM is nonetheless
one of the most important strategic components of the Argosy.
Interplanetary Mine Hunter (IMH)
� Seven
Pillars Class
The Seven Pillars class Mine Hunter is designed to
seek out and destroy pre-positioned threats to both HCBG
and PRG assets. Deployed as needed based on the operational
scenario, IMHs run in packs of four. The packs work as if
they are a single asset, performing detailed searches of
any perceived threat area with highly sensitive hyper-spectral
imaging and synthetic aperture sensors. They are equipped
with modified versions of the DM-5 defensive kinetic kill
missile which can safely detonate mines from a distance.
Low Observable Special Warfare Ship (LSW)
� Asceticism
of Action Class
The
Asceticism of Action class Special Warfare Ship is
a small, fast troop insertion and reconnaissance vessel
designed to infiltrate behind the forward edge of the battle
area (FEBA) or deep inside hostile territory. Information
on the sensor and weapons load-outs for these assets are
currently unavailable for public release.
Light Patrol Craft (LPC)
Non-Slipstream
capable planetary defense craft that supplement and augment
Home Guard defensive capabilities. LPCs are usually equipped
with a single ELS tube, several DM-5 defensive kinetic kill
missiles and a crew of 10 or fewer. Several sub-classes
of LPC are in use throughout the Commonwealth, depending
on the particulars of the operational environment. LPCs
are very fast, highly maneuverable and operate most often
in squadrons of eight.
Heavy Patrol Craft (HPC)
Similar
to the light craft, but equipped with 2 ELS tubes and an
AP Gun turret. HPCs carry a crew complement between 20 and
30 sentients and usually serve as the command ship for a
squadron of LPCs. Like the LPC, several sub-classes of the
HPC are in use throughout the Commonwealth, and each can
be used as an additional medium-range sensor platform by
an HCBG or PRG during combat operations.
Systems Courier Ship (SCU)
� Alactritous
Missive Class
The
Alactritous Missive class Courier Ship is the foundation
upon which timely inter-system military communications are
built and maintained. The couriers are fast, low observable
assets equipped with a single PDL turret and a crew of two.
Unarmed civilian variants service the Commonwealth as a
whole. These vessels can be temporarily commissioned into
service during an emergency by a Group Operational Commander
or the commander of an Argosy asset conducting independent
operations.
