Modified troop transport: Bermuda Triangle
« on: January 12, 2008, 02:03:22 pm »
A troop transport stolen from the well equipped militias of the Thanatos company.  The theft personally overseen by Nraig kel Mansa, The Doc Man himself.  Sporting a crew of 50, the Bermuda Triangle, so aptly named for it's ability to make ships "disappear", carried upon her around 40 guns.  10 ion cannons along port and starboard sides, as well as 10 custom made pulse cannons that fire at a rate of 100 rounds  second along the top and bottom.  The 10 along the bottom are controlled computers, specially programmed by Nraig himself.  30 crew man the weapons while the remaining 20 navigate and pilot the ship, a sleek bullet shape her men call her the "Organ" as it resembles something a lot of them know well.  However, anyone heard calling the ship this name within earshot of Nraig will be stripped, beaten then shot, as he does not want to travel space with a ship named after a sexual organ.  Despite his best efforts to quell the name, the only thing captains say when they catch sight of her is, "The Organ is coming."

Shields are medium upon ship, run by 3 generators with two backup in the event that these 3 fail.  The shield generators were also stolen from Thanatos, along with many of the ion and pulse cannons.  And one of their employees who now mans the fourth gun on the port side.  :D  

The bridge, or the helm, the pilots room and whatnot is actually sectioned in the center of the ship, surrounded by armor and an extra shield, should the need to break away and abandon ship should arise.  However, Nraig had the system enabling this to happen destroyed, so any attempt to run away is simply impossible.  They will use the escape pods in the rear of the ship like everyone else.  5 control the ship, pilot, navigator, radio-man/woman/alien/thing, electronic's specialist, and a mechanic.  

Near the rear is the engine room, manned by another 5, spacecraft proffesionals all.  The remaining 10 act as "powder monkeys" as that time is long past they are the gun mechanics, ammo suppliers, whatnot, assisted by a contingent of droids known as "Wrench manglers" as sometimes they squeeze their tools a little too much leaving them in crushed balls.  But, that is the price to pay as a pirate, in the end you do get riches.
