[gurps] [VEHICLE] of the week 676 – Berenice, modified Comet-class 600-ton Liner

[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

Berenice, modified Comet-class 600-ton Liner v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL10)
  Copyright 2007 by Onno Meyer

  The Berenice has been modified for operations in the less lawful parts 
of the Spinward Marches. The passenger areas on the upper deck have been 
replaced by a second cargo hold and additional crew spaces. She is armed 
with a mix of lasers, missile racks and defensive sandcasters. 
  There are countless small modifications, from gun racks on the bridge 
to sturdy locks on the cargo doors, but the Berenice remains a civilian 
starship with a single fusion reactor and unshielded electronics.
  The crew consists of the captain, navigator, sensor operator, senior 
gunner, five gunners, chief engineer and two mechanics, plus two dozen 
thugs. The listed payload includes 462 SIM-10 and 1,200 sand canisters.
