10,000 TON FRONTIER CARRIER

ften known as the Frontier Carriers, the Armed Merchant Cruisers or AMC class were built atGlisten by Shadowrunner Shipyards, initially for IISS and merchant corporations. Also intendedas merchant auxiliaries or military tenders with huge capacities, the AMC class are most often

seen on strike, mercenary and planetary operations, or as exploratory trade vessels. Popular withmercenary groups, the AMC class can host an additional 1000 tons of vehicles with 3.5G configuration,or an additional 160 Tons vehicles and 23 tons cargo with 4G configuration. A series of 4G vessels werebuilt as auxiliaries for the Imperial Navy to support fleet and strike operations, however since increasingtensions in the Marches, vessels are being requisitioned and used in 3.5G configuration. It is expectedthat a war with the Zhodani empire would mean all AMC class vessels being requisitioned.

O

A 2 Ton automated magazine is built deep inside the vessel, to house ordnance for the small craft.The military version of the Frontier carrier carries up to 220 troops. The vessel is designed to assignmilitary personnel to lower decks and so that command areas are only accessible to officers withclearance.

With a dorsal and ventral “fin” on the nose, wings and dual redundancy in power, drives and technologyonboard, the Frontier Carriers are easy to maneuver and are regarded as agile for their size. Figuresreleased by the Travellers Aid Society indicate that the vessels are being prioritized and targeted byboth mercenaries and corsairs. There is evidence of a private consortium, banned under Imperialtreaties and rejected by Shadowrunner Shipyards, then attempting to hijack a Navy variant in theForeven Sector. Zhodani agents also are suspected also of hijack attempts, as the vessel's designpresents a good opportunity for psionic shielding.

Nearly all private operators remove the 16 fighters and replace them with other small craft, or use thespace as additional cargo bay. Most operators prefer to keep the launch tube. A number of vessels inIISS use have replaced the fighters with 10 ton robot survey probes.

Key Design Features:1. Every Passenger has a porthole.2. The Cargo Bay decks can be removed to create two cavernous 550 ton bays.3. 2 giant elevators carry 10 ton vehicles into the ship up to the flight deck.4. Power and hyperdrives are shielded by vast fuel tankage.5. Computers are sandwiched between 5 decks.6. Fusion gun is ventral/planetary and Particle accelerator is dorsal/space.7. Starship is streamlined for landing, fuel skimming and atmospheric operations.8. Missile Bay is ventral.9. Sandcasters are equally distributed to cover all six sides of the vessel.10. 4 Ton science module11. 8 unused hardpoints are converted to 8 x 2 Ton Emergency Escape Vehicles.12. Ship contains a safe, armoury and command personnel-only decks.

MISSION IDEAS:1. Riftward Star must be taken into the Foreven Sector to scout on Zhodani influence in the region.

2. Sternmetal Horizons need a crew for the Tarsus, destined for exploratory trade missions.

3. Delgado are looking for a team to survey the hulk of the Ksuiirr, lost in 1103.

4. IISS staff are asking a private contractor to return the Amarante or destroy it.

5. Instellarms need additional security on the Tarkine-bound Shruuiirr, carrying high-tech weaponry.
