Drop Fleet - A Space Opera
Orbital Constructor
So, the concept of this ship is it rolls into a system and starts constructing orbital infrastructure. Basically, sat-coms, weather satellites, docking grids and what-not. It’s got the shipyard system from the Senator class battle cruiser, plus communications arrays to keep a new colony operational until a full sat-com can be establish. In addition, it has a heavy rail canon turret to discourage pirates, and four vent cannons to clear out orbital debris – which can be turned on any other miscreants lurking about.
I would designate this is ship in the heavy cruiser class as it doesn’t have that much heavy weaponry…
