Details
The Satellite Defence was conceived as an orbital point
defence craft for Space Stations. This is still it's prime operational
role, but some are also used for Lunar Patrol and many are used to carry
EVA (Extra Vehicular Activity) work crews as their open design allows easy
entry/exit from the vehicle. The Vehicle crew consists of a pilot and up
to two standing passengers in the rear area. All Crew must be wearing
Space Suits.
"The Satellite Defence is the only Space Force
craft routinely armed with missiles, and this along with their economy of
operation and simplicity of repair explains their popularity."
