Description

The Oceanic Series II Personal VTOL is a luxury transport for corporate executives and ultra rich. Produced during the early Star League era, the vehicle found a niche market for wealthy.

The Lexan Oceanic company produced the craft with the aid of then Boeing Unlimited, however the Succession Wars saw the destruction of all its factories.

By the 31st Century production resumed at newly acquired New Earth production site reacquired from IrTech after IrTech left the personal VTOL craft business.

The craft continued to be built as of 3067, along with its more expensive sister craft, the Oceanic Series VI Luxury VTOL.[1]

Equipment and Capacities

The Series II is equipped with a Fusion engine, which allows the craft to transport its passengers over unlimited range at high speeds. The craft has been equipped Armor Chassis with with 1 ton of BAR 10 rated commercial armor. It also has an ECM Suite to augment the armor protection for its passengers and crew.

The craft has been given a six person passenger capacity with a half ton cargo capacity, with rear door.

Variants

Custom Variants

  • Lexan Surveillance Helo - A Experimental Variant of the Series II, which was prototyped in a limited production run in 3075. The VTOL was designed to serve as a recon vehicle for the experimental Cloud Ten Air Carrier. The craft features Angel ECM gear and a Recon Camera for its principle mission. The Ocean II's armor has been retained at the BAR 10 Rating. For self-defense purposes, the craft has two small lasers, but they lack any Fire Control to employ them effectively. Six prototypes were sent to the Cloud Ten when it began its promotional tour rally to interest potential customers.[2]
