\fs24 Aurora Class Colony Transport\par
\fs20\par
The early colony ships, of which the Aurora was one, were really just converted Darjee freighters. \par
\par
When looked at from a distance they consisted of six rings of pods, three rings forward and three rings aft of a bulbous centre section. Each of the rings contained sixteen pods, which had started life as part of an orbital transfer system, used to get goods from the ship to the planets surface. These pods were now configured to support human life whilst in transit and, after deployment to the colony's surface, become the permanent homes of the new colonists.\par
\par
The pods were attached to a central hold area that made up the backbone of the ship. This vast space had been sectioned off in the colony ships and had been configured to provide the medical facilities, canteen and instruction areas along with a transporter terminus. \par
\par
The forward and aft habitation clusters were separated by a central section which contained the ships bridge and crew accommodation. This area, manned by the Darjee, was off limits to all except the liaison officers.The Aurora class vessels used for colony transfers were fitted with four med stations. At the rear of the spacecraft, safely shielded from the colonists, were the fuel tanks and drive modules. These were, effectively, bolt on units and could be replaced or upgraded easily.\par
\par

\fs24 K'treel Class Explorer Ships\par
\fs20\par
K'treel ships appear to be a bit of a mongrel design, too big to be classed as a Corvette -- and not powerful enough to carry the required armament for that role -- and too small to be a practical merchant." \par
\par
Only government inertia had allowed thirty of them to be built before they got it stopped. \par
\par
Those thirty were then put up for sale and half a dozen were sold as yachts to the rich and famous.\par
\par
It needs a crew of about twelve to actually run her and has an endurance that is ridiculous for her size, they are fitted with two low powered phased beams and one of the old plasma torpedo launchers. \par
\par
The ship is able to carry nine containers which have the same mounts as the habitat pods used on the colony ships.\par
\par
24 of them are sitting in a maintenance reserve port looking for a job, the first of which -- the Pytheas -- is used in 'Boldly Go'.\par

\fs28 Small Craft\par
\fs20\par
\fs24 Leopard Assault Shuttle\par
\fs20\par
Can carry two full platoons of infantry and provide a modicum of fire support for the initial landings. Lighter and therefore more manoeuvrable Leopards.\par
\par
\par
\fs24 Panther Assault Shuttle\par
\fs20\par
Can carry two full platoons of infantry and provide fire support for the initial landings. Improved fire support capabilities over the Leopard and fitted with better armour for the flight deck.\par
\par
\par
\par
\par
\fs28 Small Arms\par
\fs20\par
\fs24 M61\par
\fs20\par
The M61 is the assault rifle carried by the Demeter Militia. It is a bullpup design, gas driven personal defence weapon which fired combustible cased ammunition comprising a 3mm depleted uranium core with a 6.5mm jacketed sabot. The high burn cartridge propelled the round in such a manner that the sabot stayed attached to the flachette and on striking a 'soft' target the whole mass penetrated the body. If the target was 'hard', like the exoskeleton of the Sa'arm or was wearing body armour, then the sabot detached on impact with a minimal degradation to the flachette velocity. This allowed the DU penetrator to punch holes in most 'hard' targets whilst still giving a round that stopped 'soft' targets, solving one of the problems of earlier flachette ammunition.\par
\par
The M61 mounted a thermal sight group which included an integral laser range finder. This provided information that allowed an offset aiming mark to be produced. The range finder was capable of pulse operations and so could double as a laser designator for laser guided munitions. The power supply built into the butt of the M61 could provide sufficient power for the sight group for twenty four hours of normal operation. The troopers were issued with a solar powered charging system that could be deployed, in defensive positions, to trickle charge the battery in the M61 indefinitely.\par
\par
The M61 was normally fitted with the M261 grenade launcher.\par
\par
\par
\fs24 M261\par
\fs20\par
The M261 grenade launcher was an underslung weapon designed to match the M61 assault rifle. It clipped under the front of the weapon and provided a three round pump action weapon firing 30mm grenades. The grenades were available in high explosive, anti-personnel and smoke variants. A riot control grenade was available but had never been issued to frontline troops.\par
\par
On connecting to the M61 an additional option became available within the sighting sub-group that allowed the laser sight to adjust for teh 30mm grenades.\par
\par
\par
\fs24 M71\par
\fs20\par
A squad support weapon, the M71 was also in use and differed from the M61 mainly in having a longer heavier barrel, which gave extended range and being adapted to take linked belt ammunition. Some troopers had attempted to fit this to the M61 but had found that the weapon became unmanagable. The M71 couldn't be fitted with the M261 because of the weapons longer barrel. The basic sight group was the same as that fitted to the M61 but needed to have its firmware updated to match the support weapon.\par
\par
\par
\fs24 M11\par
\fs20\par
The Demeter Militia mortar sections were equipped with the M11, 120mm mortar capable of firing rocket assisted munitions out to a range of eight thousand metres. The M11 had a variety of ammunition available, including high explosive, anti-personnel, smoke, minelettes and chemical, though the chemical rounds had never been issued. The rounds could be fused for air burst, impact or delayed operation.\par
\par
\par
\fs24 M88\par
\fs20\par
M88 plasma launcher was a man portable  weapon with an effective range of two thousand metres. It was also capable of taking out hardened positions such as bunkers and had been used against buildings and bridges with some effect.\par
\par
\par
\fs24 M211\par
\fs20\par
M211 air defence system was a grav-sled mounted weapon system comprising a pair of quick fire lasers, a thermal sighting system and a fire control computer. Whilst effective if it could hit the target it was limited in its seeking and predictive capabilities and relied more on its operators than was considered optimum.\par
