Modified Transport Andromeda

The M/TRN Andromeda is the personal craft of Tactical Officer Anahorn Dempsey. It is a highly modified Delta-class DX-9 Stormtrooper transport that was modified by the Science Office based upon design specs by Dempsey herself.

Improvements include:

• crew complement reduced from 3 to 1 due to an upgrade to the ship's navigational controls
• passenger area/cargo hold extended from 16 m to 25 m, with troop-transport facilities removed to create room for a luxurious office/living space, as well as cargo space for a small ground transport vehicle
• improved shield generator system, boosting the shields an additional 40% to 160 SBD
• improved hull plating, improving hull strength to 100 RU
• the propulsion system was redesigned from scratch based on starfighter technology, improving the craft's top speed to 150 MGLTs, while at the same time improving maneuverability
• in addition to the standard forward-oriented quad laser and quad ion cannons, a turbolaser turret was affixed to the rear of the craft, similar to that found on the Delta-class JV-7 Escort Shuttle

With these modifications in line, the M/TRN Andromeda finds itself at a level comparable to the more modern starfighters like the TIE Advanced and B-wing, and the reworked cargo area means the craft can sustain its one crew member for an extended period of time. The office space has everything needed for the craft to serve as a temporary command center for the Tactical Office.
