OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
  • Intent: To create an updated version of the Munto-class Escort Transport for use by the Lujian Forces

PRODUCTION INFORMATION
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
STANDARD FEATURES
ADVANCED SYSTEMS
STRENGTHS
  • Well-Defended: The Munto LF-class Escort Transport is exceptionally well-defended, boosting thick quadanium-steel armor and above average shield power. This allows the Munto to survive harsh attacks, whether it is screening a large warship or delivering troops onto the battlefield.
  • Adaptable: The Munto LF sports the latest Lucerne Labs systems, many of which have secondary modes that allow a degree of flexibility in adapting to different situations.
WEAKNESSES
  • Exposed Bridge:The Munto LF has fairly exposed bridge at the front, which makes it a tempting target, especially when the corvette is stationary.
  • Pillow-Fisted:The Munto LF focuses primarily on light weapons to fend off starfighters and to provide fire support its ground forces, leaving it highly ineffective against fighting other capital ships.
DESCRIPTION
The Munto LF-class Escort Transport is an updated version of the original Munto-class Transport, this time designed and contracted for use by the Lujian Forces. It largely is the same ship, except that it includes a number of improved subsystems, including upgraded laser cannons and missile batteries to make it more deadly to enemy starfighters, an improved life support system, and the inclusion of two separate series of Aspis-class Shield Systems, making it even more resilient on the battlefield. It remains largely a dedicated escort ship which is very capable of decimating enemy starfighters and other small threats. It can also function as a small planetary assault ship, where its small size and extensive weaponry make it very good for hot insertions for the platoon of soldiers it can carry.

Technical Explanations​

Crew: The Munto's bridge is more of a cockpit, with an arrangement of eight stations set at the ship's bow, giving the crew a panoramic view of the space in front of them, which allows the ship's pilot to make the most use of the vessel's speed and agility. The Munto uses a large amount of automation compared to its predecessor, which allows a single person to pilot it if necessary, or about a dozen people to man it. Most of the small weapons are linked to droid brains using a Target Identification Network and the ship's standard sensor array to automatically target enemies.

Engine Systems: The Munto has the same oversized bank of Nimble-5 Ion Engines as the Liberté. However, because the Munto carries thicker and denser armor plating and a stronger shielding system, it is not as efficient in propelling the craft. This gives the Munto about average sublight engine performance all around. The ship otherwise carries a typical x1 hyperdrive.

Shielding Systems: The Munto carries a pair of identical, Aspis-class Shield System. While each shield system provids slightly lower strength for a ship of its size on their own, when layered together, it really makes the Munto very durable for its size. With twin layers of shielding, it is possible to take one system offline temporarily for repairs, which can allow a skillful captain to remain in a fight for far longer than typically expected. Combined with the multiple settings of the Aspis, this makes the Munto exceptionally resilient on the battlefield against a variety of threats.

Hull: To ease production of the ship, the Munto's internal compartments are prefabricated as entire and complete units in the automated fabrication bays. Each durasteel-cased compartment is then joined together via mol-welding and then laminated as whole unit with thin layers of Trimantium to better resist tensile stresses on the hull during flight. This hull is then covered in thick Quadanium Steel armor plating. The cockpit or bridge of the vessel and the viewports are layered in thick ceraglass. This provides the Munto's hull with above average durability, allowing it to safely transport its soldiers onto the battlefield or endure intense weapons fire as it screens larger ships.

Weapons: While it only carries a pair of light quad turbolasers for use against capital and subcapital ships, the Munto carries a mix of potent point-defense weapons that are highly capable of shredding through most ground forces or small craft. The Munto's weapons are designed for a layered fields of fire approach, with flak cannons used to break up clouds of enemy fighters and fighter-grade Plumbata missile launcher batteries to hit individual ships at long ranges. At mid-range, the quad Vaapad Laser Cannons and Trudo Point Defense turrets can usually stop most threats, ranging from starfighters to armored missiles, while automated Sentinel-class Point Defense emplacements can usually eliminate most short-range threats through a high rate of fire and excellent tracking. These weapons are all linked into the Target Identification Network for ground operations, allowing the Munto to provide precise fire support to deployed First Response Force units.

Carrying Capacity: The Munto-class can carry about a platoon's worth of conventional infantry or other equivalent payloads - typically several medium sized ground vehicles or many more infantry. It also has a pair of small cargo holds that allow it to carry additional supplies for extended ground operations if need be.
