[gurps] [VEHICLE] of the week 720 – Sharrukin Command Sled

[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

Sharrukin Command Sled v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL10)
  Copyright 2008 by Onno Meyer

  The Sharrukin was developed during the Imperial Civil War for corps or 
divisional headquarters. The Command Sled was never intended as a combat
vehicle, but basic armor and stealth help to keep the command staff safe
from artillery and orbital bombardment. The Command Sled is capable of 
orbital operations, and some Planetary Defense Forces and noble houses
in the Spinward Marches have bought surplus Sharrukins as VIP shuttles.
  The crew includes a pilot, a copilot, a gunner, and 21 command staff.
  The power cells are sufficient to fire 41,500 VRFGG rounds. The fusion
plant can recharge power for 16 rounds per second.
  The Command Sled features total compartmentalization, a sealed body, 
basic emission cloaking, basic stealth, and instant chameleon.
