design that has received rave reviews for its superior defensive and offensive

as a replacement for its AS1500 Bulk Freighter. This ship offers cargo
capacity, engines and shields that far exceed its predicessors. Anti-ship

fighters, a new concept in shipping defence. Having just only entered
production, this ship has proven to be a sturdy transport.

in the starship market. The Gr-58 offers better shielding, upgraded

class Hauler. The Argosy Mark II is the company's first entry into
the civilian market in more than ten years. This version offers better
shields, engines and cargo capacity than the original. Its laser weaponry

Command as its civilian transport of choice.

Corvette:
For more than 20 years, Maskirovka's IPV-1 Nova class corvette was a common
sight in many systems and a reliable alternative to the more expensive Atinoda
ships. The company continues this tradition with its IPV-3 Nebula class
model. Featuring an updated spaceframe, engines and weapons, this ship
has become very popular among independants and corporations alike who cannot
afford the more expensive Atinoda ships.
|
|
Raptor:
The At-320 Raptor was designed by Atinoda as an 'entry level' platform for
buyers lacking the funds to afford a Kestrel. This excellent mid-range
warship has no internal fighter bay but makes up for this with a superb complement
of guided projectiles and impressive shielding. It has become a popular
choice among traders and independant merchants who wish the prestige and
reputation of an Atinoda product.
|
|
Kestrel:
The Atinoda At-350C Kestrel has a truly remarkable history of success and
remains to this day one of the more powerful ships available outside of the
military. While not as powerful as Atinoda's new Civilian Warship,
this new 'C' variant of the Kestrel still boasts an impresive weapons load.
Torpedos and heavy rockets combine with pulse turrets and a pair of R-Tail
fighters to yield a superb vessel.
|
|
Civilian Warship:
The At-450 Civilian Warship is essentially a heavily upgraded Raachaak-class
Battle Dragon. Atinoda has combined the amazing maneuverability for
a ship its size with newer pariticle shielding and multiactive armor to yield
a powerful platform. The weapons load includes Neutron Turrets, Torpedos,
heavy fighters and a powerful prow mounted Heavy Laser Beam. Central
Command is not overly pleased with such firepower being made available to
civilians, but at this time has done nothing to stop production.
|
|
Attack Frigate:
Terran Naval Shipyards FF-4427 Prowler class Escort Frigates were once the
backbone of the Colonial Navy. Using 'aquired' design plans, pirate
shipyards have enhanced this ship's engines and weapons load, including the
addition of a fighter bay. It has become wildly popular with many pirate
guilds due to its legendary reliability. Despire having been retired
from Naval service just over a decade ago, this ship is still more than capable
of taking on serious firepower.
|
|
Vertigo:
Built by Aerostar Space Industries as a successor to the wildly popular Star
Clipper, the C45 Vertigo class medium range cargo hauler has offensive and
defensive capabilities that exceed that of its predecessor. It offers
a very good cruising speed, fast charge shielding and allows ample room for
expansion that makes for either a superb cargo transport or a very powerful
heavy fighter, depending on the buyer's wishes.
|
|
V-Tail Fighter:
The Metroworks V-tail class of light fighter is the primary starfighter of
choice for many civilian militias. While lightly armed with only a
trio of laser cannons and a small missile load, its overall speed and maneuverability
more often than not tend to give it the edge in combat.
|
|
R-Tail Fighter:
The D95 Ring-tail fighter is Metroworks' latest offering to the civilian
market. A superb medium fighter, the R-tail offers both missiles and
heavy rockets, along with the standard pulse quads. This impressive
weapons load combined with excellent shielding and a provien engine system
to yield a capable starfighter platform.
|
|
Heavy Fighter:
Originally designed by the Calan durring the Uprising, Atinoda has turned
this little ship into a fomidible heavy fighter platform. In addition
to its truly unique dorsal-mounted missile tubes, which allow it to carry
16 missiles, Atinoda has added a torpedo tube and a heavy rocket pod and
has replaced the older laser cannons with pulse weaponry. This superb
fighter is a standard outfit on Atinoda's new Civilian Warship.
