Medium Freighter "Lethe-Sol" *NO MODS/VANILLA*

Description
*NO MODS USED/VANILLA*

The Medium Freighters of the Discordian Offworld Systems(DOS) "Lethe-Sol" class were middle-class ships with a crew of four, commonly seen in the outer sectors.
Mainly designed as medium transport ships, they were very versatile in their construction and therefor where often refitted by independent traders, scrappers and miners for different tasks.

The original design supported up to three utility ships or escort fighters, which where docked in the little hangar bays located at Port, Starboard or the Keel of the ship and could be reached by small airlocks on each bay.

Power was provided by a group of small reactors in the early models and later by a more powerfull large reactor.
Due to the nature of these early reactors, critical reactor failures where not uncommon and left similar ships often drift dead in deep space with no possibility to send distress calls to nearby ships or stations and therefor leaving the crew to death and the ships lost.
Because of that, the "Lethe-Sol" class was equipped with an emergency energy system, containing of six solar panels and two batteries, so in case of an critical reactor failure, the crew was able send out a distress signal and survive until rescue ships would arrive.

The main engines where powerfull enough to accelerate the ship fully loaded in a reasonable amount of time and provided overall good maneuverbility.
Later models where also equipped with two standard jumpdrives, allowing for an even larger area of operation.

The crew of four would reside in two crew quarters, where two members would share a room.
Determined by the size of the ship, there was not much space to put recreation rooms into the ship, so the conference room, behind the bridge, was to be used for such matters.
Later on, together with the additional jumpdrives, the ships where fitted with four cryogenic pods for the crew to stay in hyper-sleep during long range travels.
Basic medical tasks could be fulfilled in the ships own medbay, but it was not equipped for more complicated operations.

With the raising threat through pirates and mercenaries, as well as later on from militias of separatist colonies, the ship where prone to more raiding attacks, especially in the outer sectors.
Because of this, the last models built where equipped with four gatling turrets on each side of the ship, providing enough fire support to buy the crew some time to engage the jumpdrives.
Earlier models where also refitted with the gatling turrets but sometimes lacked the technical substructures to operate them efficiently.

The ships own refineries and assemblers made it able to produce needed materials from rare ore and therefor reduced the needed supplies for the whole ship.
