[gurps] [VEHICLE] of the week 696 – Covert System Defense Satellite

[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

Covert System Defense Satellite v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL10)
  Copyright 2008 by Onno Meyer

  The CSDS is a low-cost alternative to a crewed System Defense Boat or 
starfighter. Powered down, the satellite can remain in orbit for a long 
time. Remote control from a surface base provides fire control data and 
launch orders, thereby avoiding controversy about armed robots. 
  The Covert System Defense Satellite has an extra-heavy planetoid hull 
with total compartmentalization. The exact distribution of armor varies 
from satellite to satellite. The payload are thirty 500mm missiles.
