History And Mission Overview
The Marine Landing and Support Craft (MLSC) was designed and placed into service after the combat deployment of Star Fleet Marines aboard Star Fleet Vessels proved more dangerous than that of most missions. A more specialized system was needed in order to provide for deployment into “hot zones” that standard shuttles were not designed for.

Structure And Construction

The MLSC has a The overall shape is a sleek but slightly boxy upper surface, starting at the nose, with a flat underside and a flat rear hull surface. No warp engines exist on the MLSC and impulse engines are built into the hull to provide better defense against enemy fire towards the rear of the craft. The rear door folds down into a exit ramp for deployment of the marines.
The craft is constructed from Re-Enforced Tritanium and Duranium alloys. The main space frame is constructed in a single piece, intended to reduce the power required for Structural Integrity Fields.
Overall, the MLSC measures 5.17m in height, 14.2 in length, and has a beam measurement of 9.6m.
Science And Remote Sensing Systems
The MCSC computer core isolinear rods. User interface is provided by LCARS. High density sensor packages are used on the MLSC allowing for low light infrared view for more accurate night operations.

Warp Propulsion Systems
NONE
Impulse Propulsion Systems
Sub-light propulsion is provided by RCS packages designed to provide adequate sub-light speed. These provide a sustainable speed of 0.23c.
Tactical Systems
Given the mission wartime conditions during development, No ship to ship weapons were added to the MLCS. The MLSC was given Shield Generators providing a Maximum Gravitational Load of 18 MW, with a Maximum Energy Dissipation rate of 500 kW.

Offensive systems consist of four dual heavy Marine Type X Auto rifles, capable of firing 6’000 times per minute. These are turret based weapons placed on the Port, Starboard sides. A set on each side is installed a quarter down the hull and the second set is stationed towards the rear of the craft.

Defensive Systems consist of smoke generators cable of deploying heavy smoke in order to concealed Marine movements when loading and unloading the vehicle.
Utility Systems
The The MCSC is not equipped with any transporter systems.
Crew Support Systems
The MCSC can be loaded with medical supply’s along with ammunition and weapons. The primary purpose of the craft is to provide transport to landing areas for the Marines with the ability to provide suppressive fire on the landing zone.

Conclusion
Following the development of the MCSC assignment was given to Star Fleet vessels that have marines currently assigned to their vessels. Due to the small size of the vessel the MCSC can be stored much the same as shuttles.

Edir

Um…I like to point out that the edir can not post there own submissions that has to delegate to the AEDir also youre missing the top parts of the SSSF document.

Robert Archer

Rob thanks for noticing the missing part… Must not have copied over. As far as posting the AEdir and Dockmaster were emailed prior to posting for them to do review on the post so there is no conflict.

Philip

Philip,

It’s not about the actual existence of conflict, but avoiding even the appearance. Please email me the full spec and I’ll post it for a proper review period.
