Notes:

The 'Emsu Kushukhinir' Diplomatic Transport / Courier designed to meet a
Regency specification issued in late 1201.  Designed to carry diplomatic
teams into potentially dangerous areas, and operate for extended periods of
time, the Type 510 relies on it's extensive EW suite and hull armour for
survivability against hostile encounters.  The Type 510 carries powerful EM
masking and jamming equipment to avoid detection and lock-on by attacking
forces, and it's hull armour is much thicker than normally found in
non-military starships.

The ship's 4 hardpoints are typically configured as 2 x sandcasters and 2 x
laser turrets, although other configurations are possible, depending on
mission requirements.

The ship's crew includes steward and medical personnel, these can be omitted
or replaced by mission-specific personnel.  The Type 510 can carry up to 14
passengers, if the normal crew complement is on-board, although 7-10
passengers is the norm.  Passenger staterooms are seperated by demountable
wall compartments, and can be reconfigured in any combination fitting within
their space.  Provision is also made for up to 42 troops.

The ship's cargo bay is designed to accomodate covert insertion of assets.
An auxilliary cargo hatch can be used for Drop Capsule / Meteoric Insertion
operations, although some cargo area must be sacrificed to accomodate drop
capsules.

An export/budget version of the Type 510 is available.  The Type 510-A
dispenses with EM masking and jamming equipment (reclaiming 145 m^3 of
space), but has a greatly reduced cost (MCr 263.651 / 237.286 volume).  The
reclaimed space is used to install increased weaponry (3 x turrets, or 1 x
barbette and 1 x turret), to increase survivability.

The Type 510 is named for Duke Emsu Kushukhinir, Duke of Rhylanor from
1069-1091.  Kushukhinir negotiated the cease fire and armistice agreements
that ended the Fourth Frontier War in 1084.  Subsequent vessels will be
named for noted diplomats and peacemakers in the Regency's history.
