TSP-12B Orbital Launch and Lunar Transport
http://www.well-of-souls.com/homeworld/hws/hw2/probe02.gif
110(Luxury Liner Modification)-280 passengers and 12 member crew with 15-22 tonnes of cargo - with roughly the width equavalent to the wingspan of a 747 excluding the TSPs wings yet capable of taking off and landing from any strip at an internaitonal class airport - nonstop from the runway to a Lunar touch down and dustoff to atmospheric insertion and landing without refueling. The efficiency of these launch systems is a huge departure from the earlier reusable launch vehicles of this century - in part because it is a functional single stage-to-orbit delevery system - but also because of all of the advances that have come from the nations of the International Fleet in thier robust research and developement programs. These 3rd generation RLVs can launch personnel and material into space at a rate between 200-300 dollar per pound. This is made possible by a steady fast-pace slog of advances and technological developments in Mageneto-Plasma Dysnamic Rocketry, Material Sciences, Electromagnetics, hypersonic-fluid-plasma-dynamics, avionics, information technology, Fuel-Cells and smaller, ultrahigh output Uranium-tetraflouride Vaporcore reactors with MPD electric conversion cells.
16 day out operations. 28 day range with modifications.
Operational Cost:
31.32 mln per orbital ranged mission
62.138 mln per lunar ranged mission
380 million credits per vehicle

SAV-1B Strategic Aerospace Vehicle - Longrange Heavy Transport Variant
The deal to purchase 410 EB-15 Arkbird Strategic bombers for 1.23 trillion from the New Empire - Artitsa being retracted by Greater Beijing and Luna I on behalf of the International Fleet Defense apropriations 6 years ago has produced startiling results
Fullscale prototypes of our own Strategic Aerospace Vehicle have been built tested and refined and the project codenamed XS-1 is nearing completion. Similar in geometry and size to the Arkbird the plane looks almost identical to the Strategic Bomber. But looks are where the similarities end.
Power - 2 UF-4 Vaporcore-MPD generators and the new X serries of heavy fuelcells.
Propulsion - 6 Nextgen turbofan engines, 2 variable specific impulse magneto-plasma rocket driven scramjets with forced helicon ema's.
Controlsystems are heavily automated by AI and robotics reducing crew requirements for operation and maintenence.
technologies of interest developed for the SAV -
-electromagnetic structural interlocks eliminates critical mechanical vibrations at low altitude high mach number manuvers and at q-max points durring re-entry manuvers.
-Nanite laminated secondary skin for automated AI controled hull repairs
-Carbon-nanotube-fiber microcomposited Berylium-Titanium alloys
-Air-to-air Anti-air plasma warheaded 1:8 independant fasttracking swarmer missiles the AA-1/8PWH.
4 Variants have been tested - and it has been named correctly - the Strategic Aerospace Vehicle is capable of Orbital Insertions from any major international airport on earth under it's own power, and even without it's main power core functioning, on emergency power it has the capacity to achieve escape velocities in orbital trajectories running on a new serries of heavy fuel cells developed by the Orbital Institutes of Technology at gateway station.
Variant B is a 4th Generation Reusable Aerospace Transport capable of hauling 168 tonnes or 1200 personnel and 28.2 tonnes in intercontinental flights thru suborbital trajectories in minutes or 102 tonnes or 1200 personnel and 8.8 tonnes into LEO. Also equiped with 380 AA-1/8PWH swrmer missiles in 4 batteries and 4 UCAVs for defense.

no image available - think beefed up YF-23 with 3, 3-D thrust vectoring nozzles and 2 ventral intakes for the combined cycle variable specific impulse magneto-plasma rocket driven scramjets with helicon-array emp forced plasma afterburners
3rd generation air dominance fighter/bomber.
A reengineered and heavily modifyied version of the US YF-23 Black Widow.
Capable of operating from an orbital position or from any ground base. Designed for the release of longrange tactical microfusion cruisemissles or hypervelocity air-to-air/air-to-ground multitargeting swarmer missles at highmachnumbers from the upper atmosphere where it can slip out of range of anti-air and air defense systems at escape velocities or from sea level combat situations utilizing its stealth and speed and excellent weapons systems for first site, shot, kill style air dominance. In dogfighting combat situations utilizes supermanuverability and superior speed to bring to bear a 7 point 30mm hypervelocity light auto-railgun on close range targets.
From the ground it can hit a target anywhere in the world and without refueling make it home by skipping above the atmosphere and making a reinsertion to attack and then again to land.
From an orbital deployment the AF/AB-23E can swoop into the upper atmosphere where it can deploy missles to destroy ground, naval and airborne targets alike while remaining out of range of most airdefense systems.
In close support of ground forces tactical microfusion missles and multitargetting swarmer missles excell in supressing if not completely destroying enemy possitions ahead of friendly ground forces.
10 - external missle hardpoints 5 on each wing & 4 internal missles hardpoints - effective ranges(22km & 1200km)
