ADVANCED SYSTEMS

• Compartmentalized Design

Strengths:

• Sturdy Construction: A thick hull and fast recharging shields make the quick and agile freighter tough to shoot down
• Jettison: The large cargo container on its left side can be jettisoned or detatched at a moment's notice. Can be swapped out with other, larger or smaller, containers

Weaknesses:

• Ion Weapons disable the shield's fast recharge and can knock out critical systems
• As a large target it does not have the luxury of being a small, agile fighter in a dogfight

Description: The SSL-4550 light freighter was a design based off a popular Nasvalo ship design. Being located right over Manas, Silvia Shipyards engineers took what they learned from the native population and standardized the junkyard design for mass production. With 5 powerful ion engines and sturdy shields, the freighter was able to make tighter turns than many light freighters. The ship was made for a crew of 2-5 and had space and hardpoints for kitchen devices, medical devices and other storage options. Most of the social space on the ship such as crew lounge, crew quarters, and the rooms designated for a medbay and kitchen, were all located in the central section of the ship that connected the cockpit and the storage area. The 4550 was also incredibly modular and popular within the Manas system and other small systems nearby within the Outer Rim Coalition.
