Design Notes

The Sun Tzu is a standard TL 15 type S scout/courier. The Sun Tzu class is built at our shipyards on Rhylanor/Rhylanor/Spinward Marches and Capitol/Core/Core (M0: Sylea). She is similar in design to the Scout/Courier's built by many corporations through out known space. With a crew of three, provisions for 5 passengers, 18 tons of cargo and an empty turret socket she is highly customizable and capable of many tasks. A large stateroom is provided for the comfort of the skipper/owner.

An extra workstation is installed. This is be used as the medic/steward's workstation. There is plenty of surplus power to operate the optional weapons systems and sensors (over 17MW).

The Sun Tzu has fuel scoops and can purify a full load of unrefined fuel in about 9 hours. This makes the Sun Tzu ideal for use in situations where there are no sources for refined fuel. The cargo hold is divided into two compartments. One of 10 tons, the other of 8 tons. The 10 ton compartment is able to be sealed and used to optionally hold fuel rather than cargo. Pumps are provided that allow the fuel to be moved to and from the regular fuel tanks when used in this manner.

This design allows for numerous optional features: a multi-function turret, radio jammer, passive jammer, densiometer and neural activity sensor. If these options are installed the statistics shown in blue may be used rather than the stripped down version listed here.

The empty turret socket can either be equipped with a turret or a lifeboat. The turret usually contains a gunnery workstation and multiple weapon systems, such as a dual short range VRF PD laser, two missile canisters and a small sandcaster. A standard 2.75 ton life boat can be installed in the turret socket, such as the LB12/C or LB12/L produced by SSC. If no lifeboat is installed then Imperial regulations require that the air raft be capable of serving in that capacity.
