Subject: TL F Sudniidbaa Assault Carrier
What's a warfleet without massive troop transports? True, in wartime
liners and other civilian starships are typically secured by the
government for this job (observe both World Wars), but for nasty naval
assaults on defended worlds you may want something more, umm, Sturdier.
With, maybe, just a *little* bit more armour.
That's where the Sudniidbaa comes in. In it's typical operational use,
it comes in when the capital ships have silences the major gun's on the
world under attack. It comes in between far orbit and 300,000 km off
said world, and releases it's deadly cargo of 50 x 50-ton troop transports,
each with between 50 and 100 men in full battle armour. It also send out 5
x 50-ton modular cutters (with a variety of possible modules in use, from
anti-air to command posts to vechile transport to cargo), and 10 x 15-ton
fighters (to gently tend to the brood as it approaches it's destination,
and provide immediate air cover when the Marines arrive.)
If a classic orbital assault is needed - with the troops being
individually shot out of the missile tubes to the drop zone - the
Sudniidbaa has 30 missile barbettes, permitting 150 men (max: this
excludes cargo and ECM packages) to be launched from far orbit every 30
minutes.
These ships are actually commanded by Imperial Marine officers, rather
than Imperial Navy men. Each ship holds 2,500 men standard, enough for a
full regiment of marine infrantry. The following notes come from the
Rebellion Sourcebook (MegaTrav), pg. 36
Regiment: A regiment is composed of several battalions.
It is commanded by a colonel.
Battalions: A battalion is composed of several companies.
It is commanded by a lieutenant commander.
A battalion is the basic military unit in the Imperium.
It contains approximately 500 men.
Companies: A company is composed of several platoons.
It is commanded by a captain.
Note also that the 2,600 Marines carries are housed 4 to a large
stateroom. If neccessary, the staterooms can be 'hot-bunked', allowing
7,800 Marines to be transported.
Note the Sudniidbaa is capable of jump4, G5. It's capable of keeping up
with most naval strike forces, but will 'hang back', as it lacks a spinal
mount. It can defend itself, but isn't meant to attack: that's the job
of it's mates.
Also note that the Sudniidbaa does not carry extensive fighter wings, nor
is it meant to carry armoured battalions. The Imperial Marines are
currently working on a way to 'package' Trepida grav tanks and Astrin
grav APC's so they will fit into Yolanda docking rings. The first
prototypes are expected to be ready in 1117.
NOTE: The Sudniidbaa is actually built to G6 specifications. However,
due to it's cargo load and transports, it cannot go faster than G5. Once
it's cargo and transports have been dropped off, however, G6 performance
can be reattained.
*****-----
The TL F 50-disp ton Yolanda Troop Transport is taken from Classic Trav's
'Fighting ships', and altered beyond recognition. The armour have been
pumped up to 100 levels, sensors and EM masking has been added, and an
optional 'heavy anti-personnel' laser put in place of the missile
turrent. Finally, 2 sandcasters and 2 fusion guns have been added to the
transport.
If the troops are being sent to a 'low-threat' landing zone, the lasers,
sandcasters and additional fusion plant is removed, allowing 100 troops to
be sent rather than fifty.
