Decerno
Mk-2 with
Hanson Cargo Module
|
From the Manufacterer
"Our Decerno Mk-2 design features
the latest in Imperial shiptechnologies.
Decerno Mk-2 is multi-purpose craft capable of carrying out
assignments ranging in scope from orbital to system-wide to
even deep-space. This makes it the first choice of any Noble
House or Powergroup with an aquired taste for quality, durabillity
and excellence.
The Decerno Mk-2's modular design enables a wide range of roles
to be undertaken for the Glory of the God-Emperor and the reputation
of your particular organization. It ships with a standard Hanson
Cargo Module (Order No. 233-5989a) and it can be, convieniently,
refitted with other modules to fit your particular needs. Of
particular note is the Daedelus Armament Module (Order No.
233-5861c) rendering the Decerno Mk-2 with an assortment of
payloads as well as delivery systems, lending diplomatic weight
to stalemates in negotiation and easing territorial affirmment.
The Decerno Mk-2 is powered by 2x1600 TWatt Anthony Thrusters
and the Tarantula Maneuvering Thrusters Pack ensuring ease
of control and grace of movement."

The Skaelen-Har Hegemony Arsenal Data-Slate
|
Background
The Skaelen-Har Hegemony phased out the armed
first-generation Decernos and introduced the Mk-2s following
Govenor Hax's Sectorial Decree No. 15-840. The Decree was called The
Amputation Act, by his political opponents, as it severly
limited payload and armaments of ships not within the Imperial
Navy or PDF - however, the wording of the decree only specified fixed armaments.
As a direct consequence hereof, the Skaelen-Har manufactered
the Mk-2s with optional payload in the form of readily installable
weapon-modules, thereby circumventing both the decree as well
as its pre-decessor in terms of allowable weaponry of civilian
crafts. |
