UV-29 “Beetle”
Weapon Systems: None
Space Utility Vessel
Equipment:
This vessel was designed to serve ships and stations as a utility EVA vessel. It does not have a large fuel capacity so its range is severely limited. Typically this single man ship docks face first to specially outfitted ports to allow the pilot to access bigger ships. However, three magnetized landing feet do extend from the undercarriage to allow the Beetle to land inside ships or even on the surface of a planet.
Pressurized Cabin: A crew compartment that is air tight and comes with an on-board air supply. Good against poison gas, high altitude, and the vacuum of outer space. Effective underwater up to a depth of 1850 ft (563.8 m). Maneuvering Rockets: This is the only way to move or change direction in the vacuum of outer space or underwater. Type 1 Shield Generators: This is what generates the force shields that protect the fighter. Anti Gravity Capacity: This system allows the fighter to hover stationary above any surface that is producing gravity, (like planetary surfaces or deck plating of a ship’s landing bay). This allows the fighter to raise up to 200 ft, or allows it to vertically land. Radiation Shielding: Completely stops harmful radiation of all kinds and levels. Self-Destruct System: Will blow up the vessel, inflicting 3D6x100 damage to 40 ft (12.2 m) area.
Model Type: UV-29 “Beetle” Class: Short Range Fighter Crew: One Pilot, and one passenger. M.D.C. By Location: Wings (4) – 150 each *Main Body – 75 Force Shield – 50 *Bringing the main body’s M.D.C. down to 0 will completely incapacitate the vessel. If the ship is reduced to –10 M.D.C. it will blow up causing 3D6X10 damage to everything within a 62 ft radius. Speed: Bonuses: Flying: From hovering stationary to a Maximum of Attacks per melee: 1 350 kps. Cruise is at 175 kps. Atmospheric flying + 2 Dodge only cuts the speeds by ⅓. Range: 1360 km in space, half that in an atmosphere. Page 1
