Description
Produced by Nimakachi Fusion Products Ltd in early 3090s, the Condottiere Assault Craft was produced to fill need for cost effective escort in post-Jihad era. Due to its inexpensive upkeep and its balanced firepower, the Condottiere saw service through the Inner Sphere with large and small military organizations.[3]
Weapons and Equipment
The Condottiere main firepower is focused in forward fire arcs. Mounted in its nose is a pair of Class 5 Rotary Autocannons, with a single Artemis IV guided 15-tubed Long-Range Missile launcher in each of its wings. The ship's aft is protected by the craft's only energy weapons, a cluster of three Extended Range Medium Lasers.
Unlike its ancient forerunners (Lyonesse & Aquarius) which were originally designed as Surface to Orbit Escorts, the Condottiere has longer legs with its 9 ton fuel tank. The craft is not known for its speed and it shares the maximum thrust rate of the Lyonesse.
The ship is noted for being easy to handle, making it ideal for a trainer vessel. It's hull is protected by 19.5 tons of Ferro-aluminum armor, with a large allotment of its armor focused in its nose. The craft has a single ton dedicated to cargo, with a single access door to it.[4]
Notes
All crew members have to sleep in steerage-class quarters.
The Condottiere is subject to the following Design Quirks:
