ADVANCED SYSTEMS

• This vessel/ship/object has no advanced or special systems, it's just standard starship and hyperspace transport ring parts put together in a novel and unique way.

STRENGTHS

• More time away from home: Thanks to the large cargo capacity and the living quarters, a starfighter pilot/starfighter pilots equipped with this addition to their ship can go much longer without returning to base, going on several-month-long patrols. It's basically a trailer and a hyperdrive transport ring all in one!
• Detachable: Along with the added supply storage and potential mission length, if you have to engage in combat, you can simply undock from the cumbersome hyperspace transport ring, becoming a swift and nimble starfighter again.

WEAKNESSES

• Dead weight in a fight: If you have to get into ship-to-ship combat, you can undock from this to become more maneuverable and engage your enemy... but it has no strong defenses, and once you're separated, it's just sitting there waiting to be blown up... leaving you stranded without a hyperdrive.
• Stranded in space: Additionally, it has no helm position. In a rare inverse situation, having your starfighter destroyed while you are aboard the living accommodation will also leave you completely stranded, drifting in space.
• Compatablity issues: Only compatible with starfighters that feature both a ventral and dorsal docking port.

DESCRIPTION
The MK I Scabbard is designed and manufactured by Adumar Advanced Starcraft Design and Repair, with a single "What if" idea in mind: "What if you could give a quick and maneuverable starfighter the long term supply and long term travel capabilities of a corvette?" Born of that idea was the bastardization of a hyperspace transport ring you see described before you. Combining elements of the composition, shape, parts, and schematics of the Gozanti Class Assault Carrier and the Syliure-45 hyperdrive module, the MK 1 Scabbard provides cozy living quarters and spacious cargo storage for an attached two-person starfighter crew. Enough consumable storage to allow for a three-person crew even, if they sleep in shifts.

This specialized hyperspace transport ring allows non-hyperdrive capable, small craft like starfighters and bombers to be used in the role of long term, deep space, territorial patrol craft, in place of something more expensive like a corvette or frigate. This conversion obviously isn't as potent as a corvette, but it's a good choice for a warlord on a budget with a limited fleet, or an excellent anti-piracy measure during peacetime.
