Lazarus Consortium LZ-XGS-300 'Amelia' Subspace Navigator

Bridging the gap between fighter and light gunship, the XGS300 offers occupancy space, massive generator capacity, a main gun and sensors comparable to a light gunship or heavy shuttle — and manoeuvrability and portability on par with a fighter.

Her unusually massive hull is necessitated by her requirement for large control surfaces in order to remain stable at higher speeds during subspace_vortex operation. This allows for maneuvering at faster-than-light speeds or approaching faster-than-light speeds, to move through a system on paths not aligned with a warp rail with enormous navigational independence.

While the Amelia can operate entirely unmanned or even under remote, she operates at her best with a pilot (in the front seat) and a systems-officer (rear seat). The purpose of the pilot obviously is to steer and manoeuvre the craft, while the systems officer is focused on adjusting the performance perimeters and providing extra combat awareness in realtime. Optionally, the systems officer may take control of any Lazarus unit which can be managed using the M4 system (such an M2, Winter II or another Amelia) by remote.

The interior of the Amelia is roomy with full variable gravity, two bunks and a galley by default on deck 1 and a cargo-hold on deck 2. A primary column serves to connect the two: either using artificial gravity as an elevator shaft (which can also allow those onboard to dis-embark) or emulating a micro-gravity environment (allowing those onboard to simply push themselves up into the craft without having to use the lift). In the event these systems fail, a ladder is available. The central column also serves as a decontamination chamber, airlock, shower and features a fold-out lavatory system. When not in use, the central column becomes a volumetric table in the centre of the cabin. Commonly, it is fitted with a cutting and sealing system used to board craft (ideal during salvage ops).

Weapons-Systems

The bulk of the Amelia's weapons are integrated into the body for a better subspace profile and heightened reliability. Importantly, the Amelia relies on a mixed armament doctrine for dealing with different target types.

Situated on the articulated weapons-pylons on the main-wing, the cyclones offer a high rate of fire and intense kinetic kill potential against more lightly armed targets. They are ideally used against other fighters and excel

An array of four twin-barrel solenoid guns are located on the shoulders of the Amelia. Similar to the arrays fitted to the Winter II, they rely on sheer number and coverage to make life hell for smaller targets, mimicking the two-up two-down either-side

A 12 meter long aether cannon is located inline to the craft's main body. Can be extended forward and aimed up to 120 degrees either side for flanking or 90 degrees beneath.

Mounted above and below the wings, these weapons-pylons allow for the armament and launch of a wide variety of munitions types – from weapons-pods and missile systems to drones and anti-starship warheads. The pylons can be tilted up to 180 degrees, allowing them to fire at targets off angle or even behind the Amelia.

Rotary missile launcher, similar to mini-gun style weapons, designed to release large successive volleys of missiles very quickly - primarily with the purpose of overwhelming the target.
