Centrally featured are the pair of ECHO Sterinull Suites, which have the capacity to keep even the most critically injured patients alive long enough to make it to the nearest hospital or medical frigate. Four accompanying surgical beds are also installed to accommodate more of the inflicted.
The ship is heavily shielded to protect it from potential crossfire, and a rapid-fire quad laser cannon turret is installed at the tail of the craft--just in case. The guns are rather ineffective against anything except fighter craft, and it is not recommended to use them unless you really, absolutely have to. Otherwise, you probably will lose your medical immunity status in the battlezone. Baseline ECHO Copycat technology was integrated into the EMV-16, making sure to identify the craft as friendly to anyone in the area. While this is likely not an issue to begin with, it never hurts to have a failsafe.
While the hyperdrive is very fast, it is not allotted enough power for a trip across the galaxy, since the goal is to simply move a patient to a nearby care center as fast as possible. Thus, hyperspace travel is typically limited within local clusters of systems.
A hangar in the aft of the vessel can hold a decent-sized speeder, such as the recommended critical care compliment ECHO EMS-7 speeder.
A typical crew is composed of 2 pilots and 3 medics, although a total crew of 7 may be considered the optimum. The ambulance starcraft can support a total of 14 people for about two weeks.
