Hi all,
Here is the third of my TL-9 ships, the Helkana shuttle. I hope you find it
useful.

BTW I miss stated the UWP of Mnemosyne, the TL is 9 not A. I would be very
interested in a source of information on how to determine the ship yard
capacity for a world and for the construction times for ships.

Notes:

The Helkana is designed to be carried aboard the Tempere Modular Transport. It
is also used at space ports on planets that have the recources and ability to
make HCD fuel. The crew live on the mothership or at the space port. The 35 ton
modules on the Helkana are the same as those carried by the Tempere.

The Helkana has 4.457 MW of surplus power to operate a turret weapon.

The Viiborg is built on Mnemosyne (0232 Foreven sector) in the Wilds.
