Welcome to the Gregor Corporation Smallcraft Division. We sell shuttles and pinnaces that are commonly seen used in Verniian warships, along with various civilian ships, like yachts and courier boats. As always, first time buyers get a 10% discount on their purchase.


Pinnaces: Pinnaces are about the size of a modern-day space shuttle, and are used primarily for shuttling crewmen from stations and planets to their ships, although they are also used for air support in planetary assaults, and as dropships for marines. Pinnaces are not FTL capable.

Corsair Armed Pinnace

~ Corsairs are the most common pinnace in service with the People's Navy. There are currently several hundred in operation, including a few unarmed units in civilian hands.

Admiral VIP Pinnace
Mass (Tons): 300

~The Admiral VIP pinnace is often used for transporting flag officers to and from their ships or bases. Government officials often use it for transportation as well. The Admiral has a rich carpeting, luxurious heated leather seats, and the aisles between seat rows are twice as wide as the Corsair's. There are hidden speakers set into the passenger compartment for music, and each pinnace comes with a fully stocked bar.

Shuttles: Shuttles are the workhouses of the People's Navy, ferrying equipment and crew on a larger scale then pinnaces.

Atlantic Cargo Shuttle
http://img24.photobucket.com/albums/v73/Jadeite/heavytransportcivilian.jpg
Mass (Tons): 650
Length (Meters): 60
Wingspan (Min/Max): 20/40

Price: $15 million
~The Atlantic has a 3,000m³ (40m x 10m x 7.5m) pressurized cargo deck with access through a full-width/full-height rear cargo door, and two side hatches and an airlock connecting it to the forward crew deck, used when the cargo deck is depressurized for space-to-space cargo transfers. The crew deck has a seperate airlock as well. The Atlantic is standard equipment aboard all Verniian freighters.

Ballista Assault Shuttle
http://img24.photobucket.com/albums/v73/Jadeite/heavytransport.jpg
Mass (Tons): 650
Length (Meters): 63
Wingspan (Min/Max): 14/43
Height ( Min/Max): 8/10
Fuselage Dimensions (L/W/H): 63m x 10m x 8m
Maximum Acceleration (G): 400

-Two forward mounted 5cm lasers
-Two forward mounted 1.5cm heavy pulsers
-One turret mounted 10mm tribarrel
-Hardpoint for rockets under each wing
-Internal bomb bay (space for 30 bombs)
Price: $20 million
~The Ballista is the transportation method of choice for Verniian Marines who are assualting a planetary target. It's fast and heavily armored, and can take several hits from most anti-plane weapons. The Ballista can carry almost half a regiment of troops inside it, and is quite capable at providing air support with its tribarrel, capable of firing 1000 rounds per second, and the lighter pulsers can fire 3000 rounds per second.

Courier Boats: For nations without FTL communications between systems, courier boats often provide the one of the main links. They are used by Vernii's government to deliver news, reports, and information between Vernii and its fleet bases and protectorates. Courier boats are barely large enough to fit a hyper generator into, but are FTL capable.

Express class Courier Boat
Mass (Tons): 40,000
Length (Meters): 350
Maximum Beam: 100
Maximum Height: 50
Maximum Acceleration (G): 520 in Normal-Space, 6,000 G's in Hyper
Complement: 30 (5 Officers + 25 Enlisted)
Parasite Complement: One pinnace
Price: $500 million
~Express courier boats mount no armament, and no active PD systems. They carry destroyer grade shielding and passive defence systems.

Misc Ships

Nike class Runabout
http://img24.photobucket.com/albums/v73/Jadeite/runabout.jpg
Mass (Tons): 200
Length (Meters): 40
Height (Min/Max): 6
Beam (Meters): 7
Maximum Acceleration (G): 620
Complement: 2
Passengers: 3
Price: $90 million
~Space is a usually considered a place for the elite and wealthy. This ship doesn't change that. This ship is meant to be a plaything for the rich and adventurous. While not FTL capable, the Nike is quite fast in normal space, pulling almost the same acceleration as a Turbulent class destroyer.

Light Attack Craft (LAC)
Mass (Tons): 10,000
Length Overall (Meters): 82

Armament Mounted / Weapon Mount Placement
Missile Launcher: 15 strap on launchers*
Laser (50cm): 1 per chase.
PD Laser Cluster: 4 per broadside, 2 per chase.
Parasite Complement: One escape shuttle.
~Don't mistake these ships for fighters, at 82 meters in length and with a crew of 25, these vessels are almost full warships. While not FTL capable, these ships are perfect for customs and patrolling the space around your planets.
Cost: $800 million
*carries no internal magazines, each launcher can fire once before resupply is needed.

Dropships: After the recent peacekeeping intervention in Epsilon Pegasi by the People's Army, the Army came to the conclusion that while Assault Shuttles were suitable for landing infantry in combat zones and providing air support, they lacked a significant capacity for armored vehicles. Plans were drawn up by BuShips, and the first new dropship types have been put into production.

Lion class Heavy Dropship
http://img24.photobucket.com/albums/v73/Jadeite/lion.gif
Mass: 7,215 tons
Length: 92 meters
Width: 92 meters
Height: 95meters
Complement: 25 (5 flight and command crew + 20 PD crew)
Armament: 7 Point defense lasers
Capacity: 2500 infantry or 100 tanks
Price: $5 billion
~The Lion Heavy Dropship is the newest addition to the equipment of the People's Army and the People's Marines, and provides a larger capacity then the Ballista Assault Shuttles.

Where did you get those pics? We'll take 5 Corsairs, 2 Atlantics. Money wired on confirmation. (And yes, I am a first timer here)

That'll come to $80 million, consider the ships on their way via freighter. And I found the pics doing a google search for "battle barge", I forget the sites exact name but it had "power" in it's name, it was some artist's gallery of concept art he did for games.

Vernii

I actually already have LACs in my main storefront, but that is a good idea. I'll add them here later.

THe Commonwealth would like to purchase a wing of the Corsair Pinnaces, a wing in our navy is 6 Squadrons of 8, so thats 48. (432 million with discount)
We also want a Lance of Nike Runabouts (four), we want these to be heavily modified as they are intended to be used by myself and my Admirals. We need them to have increased shielding, armorment, engines and sensors. Please give me the modified price for such a vessel.

Delivery of these vessels can occur with the delviery of my fleet i ordered, put them in the flagship BB.
Vernii

Very well, the ships will all be delivered along with your new fleet. As for the runabouts, we can increase the acceleration to 630 G by putting a military grade drive and compensator on it, and and we can also upgrade the sensors. It's too small to mount anything more than a pinnace's shields. Modifications can be done for an extra $10 million each.

Ahhh we approve of the modifications as for the bill with a 10% discount is 792million correct???
