D5-Mantis Patrol Craft
Ship Class: Support
Ship Role: Patrol Craft/Prisoner Transport
Ship Length: 68 meters (width: 74 meters)
Agility (A): 2
Defensive (D): 3
Offensive (O): 4
Speed (S): 2
Special Gear: 0
Description:
Built for combat, the rare, compact-framed D5-Mantis was a best-in-class patrol craft, designed to compete with—and meet the demands of—much larger starships, such as Interdictor-class cruisers.
The vessel utilized three retractable armament foils with independent power supplies, allowing it to safely use weapons meant for larger vessels. The foils also significantly reduced the ship's profile, allowing it to land or dock in more confining spaces than other ships would be able to use. A surprising number of D5-Mantis patrol craft could, therefore, be tightly packed into carrier ships presenting a nasty surprise to enemy vessels.
The D5-Mantis engineers also made extensive use of a vertically economical interior design to condense and fully utilize space. The vessel's small bulkheads accommodated large, open areas and improved the ease of maintenance.
It came equipped with 1 Dual Laser Cannon, 2 Ion Cannon, 2 Medium Turbolaser Cannons, and 2 Heavy Laser Cannons.
