Notes
-----				
Can scoop total fuel in 1 hour.					
Purifies total fuel in 18 hours					
Large Laser has turret hidden under a small hatch.
Missile Barbette is hidden under a large hatch.
 
This ship has hidden firepower in order present a less threatening appearence 
for its primarily diplomatic assignment.  If purchased in quantity, our 
shipyards could produce more martial variants at a substantial savings than 
another 500ton design since this is already a very capable ship.
 
In order to improve survivability we have isolated the ignition/recombustion 
chambers into 6 separate units insuring some maneuver capability even under the 
worst combat damage.

The passenger staterooms include room for high level staff, and ambassadors 
(large staterooms), as well as a mixture of intellegence and diplomatic staff.
Typically, a troop complement of 10-12 would be expected within these spaces as well.

Almost forgot...

The ship is powered for all systems at once, except the CG lifters.  The ship is
limited to 5g when using them.  The laser turret is powered for a ROF of 100,
but it is beefed up for a ROF of 800.  Each gturn not spent is another 100 shots
per turn.

gturns *not* spent	ROF	DM
-------------------	---	----
1			200	-3
2			300	-3
3			400	-4
4			500	""
5			600	""
6			700	""

There is not enough power in the prototype for the full ROF, but it could be
added to the production models (beefing up the PP by 8kl) at a small additional cost.
