The Dean Files Duke Boris class Mercenary Cruiser (Military Starship)

The Duke Boris class is produced by ConTech of Glisten, at a lower tech level than possible there, for ease of owner maintenance in operations. Essentially designed as a competitor to the fairly common Broadsword class, the Duke Boris is equipped with a Raptor lander and four Kestrel fighters, whose cost is included below. Provision for twenty troops is made, which restricts the types of operations that can be undertaken by a Duke Boris equipped mercenary outfit.
