****************

NOTE: This vessel is only available to Regency Diplomatic Corps 
personnel: it is NOT available for private purchase at any price.

MAINTENANCE: The maintenance points shown are triple the FF&S figures: this 
is an experimental craft, the second TL H craft in Regency/Imperial 
history. [The first, produced 4 years ago, is a spy/survellance craft for 
Regency Naval Intelligence]

WEAPONRY: The Missile Turrent is usually kept recessed in the hull, 
outside of sight.  The only visible portion of the lasers are their Focal 
Lenses, which are the same size as standard laser turrents.  The only 
difference is in rated power consumption and tech used to make them, 
both of which are not visible to the naked eye.

CREW: Crew members added - although not demanded by the ship design - are 
the Sensor analyst ("Elect") and the Medical officer.

CONTROL: The special workstation is for the Ambassator's personal use.

TROOPS: The four Ship Troopers are under the command of the Captain, and 
are tasked with insuring the security of the ship.  The eight Troopers 
who are passengers are under the authority of the Ambassator: their 
primary concern is the security of the Ambassator and his staff. 

The Ship Troopers are usually Veteran Regency Marines: The Ambassator's 
men are Elite Marines.

**************

Named after Baron Hiroyuki Mizutani of Suszko (61-142 Imperial), the 
chief Imperial negotiator responsible for the Ansurii Accords which 
ended the Vilani Pacification Campagins in Gushemege and Dagudashaag sectors.

The Mizutani-class vessels are part of the legendary "Vincennes Fleet", 
that is, a vessel that embodies the cutting edge of current Denebi 
technology.  Such ships tend to have more teething pains than your 
typical starship, which is based on centuries-old technology.  PC's using 
this vessel can expect more than there share of problems: Vincennes 
hasn't got all the bugs worked out, but the Regency Diplomatic Corps 
pushed for immediate (if very limited) production.

The interior of the ship (outside of the bridge) is decorated in the rich, 
pre-spaceflight (TL 1) Vilani Gunsemakuuni style from -11,300, panelled 
with real rekha wood and accented with genuine lenpikurbi stone furniture.  
This beautiful, but low-tech style is designed to put technophobic local 
governments at ease.  Music and service would be provided by the 
stewards, rather than automations.
