The Refit Yard - Vargr Khur Suegz Class Breaching Shuttle

"Look at me. Look at me. I'm the captain now."
- Somali pirate Abduwali Muse to Richard Phillips, captain of the MV Maersk Alabama

I happened to watch the film Captain Phillips recently. Great movie. While thumbing through my Traveller books a few days later I came across the Pecah Breacher Shuttle in Mongoose's Specialist Forces. I hadn't given the shuttle too much thought before, but this time it really caught my attention. I decided it was a good candidate for The Refit Yard - even though it is a newer ship - and decided to convert it to a Vargr design. I made a few other minor changes as well: dropped the firmpoint weapon, which decreased the power plant output requirement, added acceleration seats and an airlock, and of course the iconic Vargr aerofins. Since the forced linkage apparatus is located in the ship's underside, it made sense to incorporate it into the landing gear. Lots of roleplaying opportunities here, both piracy related and legitimate enterprises. It all depends on what side of the breaching tube you are on. Here's the new ship, with updated deck plans, High Guard specs, and illustrations. Enjoy!
