->A more in-depth description of what the ship is designed to do, its general capabilities and how it functions. Such as it being a freighter, how much it might be able to carry, if it has any self defense if applicable.+The Tough Puppy is the vehicle of choice for many chelti armies and militias, coming in an eclectic myriad of variants fulfilling a dizzying array of roles and missions across the galaxy. 
 + 
 +Known varieties of Tough Puppies include (but not limited to): 
 +Light transport - Fire team sized transport and light support weapon 
 +Troop Movement - Flatbed converted into bench seating. 
 +Fire Support - Flatbed converted into weapons bay for fire support weapons such as mortars, rocket launchers, light anti-air weapons systems. Anything that needs more than a tripod but less than a tank to carry. 
 +Sensor - Carrying a large set sensor pod and control system to interface with other units and sensor trucks.
  
 ==== History ==== ==== History ====
  
->Historical context for the design, including information on how old it is, if it's descended from previous designs, and any notable points that might appear in the public memory. Operational records are optional+Originally built as a military only vehicle just on the cusp of widescale space exploration, the Tough Puppy was designed as a versatile, cost-effective frontier vehicle adaptable to a variety of power plant types, from internal combustion, to electric and others. Soon copies of the design were spreading all over the galaxy as chelti took their technology with them to the stars and the type became so common it became routine to see rugged living civilians in possession of a small fleet of them for their transport needs out among the colonies. 
 + 
 +As a military vehicle the Tough Puppy quickly found itself being adapted to fill any roll capable of a light truck, and then a few that required light armor instead of a tank. As such, military Tough Puppies can be anything from a completely open people mover, to a light armored vehicle equipped with a fully powered turret system. 
 + 
 +Civilian models are usually customized to user needs, often featuring hardened cages to ward of attacks from native fauna, shade and cooling devices, often along with various survival equipment as these trucks are often used in rugged areas that require such hardy vehicles.
  
 ==== Capabilities ==== ==== Capabilities ====
->Sub-headings dealing with various aspects of the ship, describing in general its abilities in maneuverability, speed, weapons, and defense if applicable.+When equipped with a standard petrochemical-fired combustion to electric powerplant, the Tough Puppy has a top speed of over 150kmph in perfect conditions, but is much more realistically going to be driving up to 120kmph on most available highways. Not recommended in version without windshields. 
 + 
 +Acceleration can be hampered by the large loads these vehicles routinely carry, such such expected acceleration is 20m/s initially and ramping up to 45m/s until max speed.

->Note, most ships that are not dedicated Jumpships will not be capable of Intersellar FTL, but will be Intra-System FTL capable. Ships without System Cruise may have to use travel gates to travel between stellar objects efficiently, such as small shuttles.+

-Four seats, room for one ring turret. Space in the back for gear or more passengers.+As a base model, the Tough Puppy has four seats, room for one ring turret. One driver, three passengers, plus standing room in the turret. The flatbed in the back makes space in the back for gear or more, rather less comfortable passengers.
