O.S.A. Light Attack Craft 'Masquerade'

In 1 collection by Malmhrid

Description
”One was a green spaceship near the hangar’s large doors. It had a curved front and short frame, like the beak of a predatory bird. Gun turrets were attached on each side, and the thruster pods in the rear showed that she could fly in an atmosphere. Small craters and bullet holes covered the worn outer plating. ‘That’s the Masquerade, Soren’s ship,’ Axel said.”
-From The Fleet Beyond Neptune

Years ago, the Masquerade was the first attack craft to volunteer to protect a small group of refugee spacecraft that later grew to become the Occupied Settlements Alliance. She is now the lead ship in the Squadron – a small group of highly skilled pilots who conduct reconnaissance missions, pirate hunting, raids against Earther installations and other high-risk assignments.

Like all PATAC-4 models she has a hybrid thruster system and a power grid centred around the capacity of her batteries. The power output can be boosted by using her solar panels and nuclear reactors, but ship systems will begin dropping out if her batteries are depleted.

The Masquerade can enter and fly in a planet’s atmosphere and has the necessary thrust to launch back into space. The pilot’s living space has the usual commodities and the necessary life support. She also carries production equipment to process raw ore and assemble components.

That's right! I got the notion in my head after I built the Crimson Charmer a year ago, and managed to finish it by December.

I love this ship. I have it covered in neon. I had to throw a door in near the cockpit as it was getting a bit on my nerves going under the ship to get in.

SCSlike, I used the game's replay tool.

Thank you, MaXiMuM4D! I think they work best when used sparingly.
