[gurps] [VEHICLE] of the week 646 – Gamguum-Class Imperial 10,000-dton Assault Ship

[Onno Meyer]

  This is a weekly posting with GURPS vehicles (and the like) to the 
GURPSnet mailing list. I grant the permission for all non-commercial 
redistribution of my work, but I would like to know if you put it on 
a website or the like. My site is down for rebuilding, but sooner or 
later the old stuff should reappear at   omeyer.gmxhome.de

Gamguum-Class Imperial 10,000-dton Assault Ship v1.0
  Copyright 2007 by Onno Meyer

  Many Imperial warships outmassed their Terran counterparts, and the 
Gamguum-class Assault Ship was no exception. The assault ship carried 
one of the oversized Imperial infantry battalions, enough shuttles to 
land them in a single wave and a powerful missile battery for orbital 
bombardment. A squadron of ten Gamguums could carry a full division.
  The assault ship has been designed around the jump drive of the Line 
Freighter and very similar maneuver drives in a dual mount to simplify 
operations in frontier sectors. The hull has been streamlined to allow 
gas giant fuel skimming and surface landings.
