- Advanced Stealth System: The Specter Light Stealth Transport has a stealth system that, when engaged, lowers the ship's ambient energy emissions to near zero levels. This causes the ship's sensor echo to appear much smaller, like that of a small asteroid or piece of space debris.
- Communication Jammers: The Specter has a powerful transmitter assembly that can broadcast a jamming signal for approximately 2,000 kilometers in each direction. This signal interrupts most basic communications tech in this area.
- Adaptive Camouflage: The hull plating has been coated with pigment changing micro-projectors, which allows the crew to change the ship's color scheme to match their surroundings. For example, when flying in open space, the hull can be turned jet black with specs of white to simulate a normal space backdrop. If flying over or through a jungle, the hull could be turned green and brown to better blend in with the trees and native vegetation. This is not a true cloaking device and does not actually make the ship invisible, it just makes the ship more difficult to detect visually.
- Maintenance Heavy: The Specter class light stealth transport utilizes advanced state-of-the-art stealth technology. As such, it requires a high level of maintenance to work optimally. If maintenance is neglected, then the ship's various systems can quickly begin to malfunction to the point of being inoperable.
- Inefficient Fuel Economy: Because of the power requirements needed for the Specters advanced stealth systems, the ship consumes fuel at nearly twice the rate of other ships of similar size used by the Silver Navy. This makes operating it for long periods of time expensive and difficult.
- Low Defenses: The specter lacks any major defensive capability beyond the most basic deflector shield array. Instead, the Specter is designed to use its stealth and jamming systems to confuse and hide from the enemy rather than withstand a prolonged assault.
- Signal Strength: Though the output of the signal jammer can cover a roughly 2km area, the strength of the jamming signal weakens as the distance between the source of the jamming (the ship) and any affected targets grows. At the 2km range, some basic signals can get through while at a point blank range, very little can get through. Beyond the 2km range, the signal jammer becomes so weak that it cannot be relied upon to block even the most basic of signals.
DESCRIPTION
The Specter Light Stealth Transport is a ship designed to transport small groups of troops behind enemy borders. To this end, it boasts a high rate of speed and maneuverability as well as advanced stealth systems which limit its sensor echos, adaptive camouflage hull plating which make it difficult to spot visually and powerful communication jammers to confuse and otherwise limit the enemy's ability to coordinate counterstrikes against or intercepts of the craft.
