Description:
The T20 design Vigilante Class StarMerc is based on the Admiral Bertil class modified Type M Armed Liner
by Charles E Gannon.  Many production sites, after the Rebellion started, converted the standard 600t liner to
 an armed liner. Essentially, a mercenary ship or armed transport. The armed transport was the Bertil Armed
Transport with a combat lander and 78 troops.
Bertil Armed Transport has several features: 
1.  One Bridge gunner can control all of the energy and PA turrets, the other can choose to control missiles
or sandcasters.  Although, computer control is often used for the sandcaster. Each turret has an individual
operations station.   The former bridge dome has houses the communications, sensor arrays. The side missile
turrets have been replaced with PAs, and the aft missile turret replaced with a Triple Pulse Laser Turret.     
2. The disk has seperate life support and functions. It can ask as a defense point should the remainder of the
ship be damaged or highjacked. 
3. It carries 8.45dt of fuel for its subcraft.
