To those of you who dont have TNE, some of it would translate. Basically, shes a rail equipped to grapple on scads of modules and small craft - but is pretty reliant on them for fuel. SS is commited to slow fuel refills by a swarm of small craft, a concept refined into the Manta refueller before production. On the up side, it sports two Laser Barbettes on extenders, and four more along the hull - designed during a phase when the coalition was playing with the idea of moving to this rarer mount.
It is heavily reliant on a 400ton fuel module, but less so than the clippers to come, who took the concept further. It also has accommodation for a skeleton crew, a thing designed out in the later clippers.
It can carry 2 200 ton and 2 100 ton modules, though the 100 ton docking clamps are considered configured to take a mix of 50 and 25 ton modules as well. One of these will need to house crew - the rest are up to you folk and the reality of the situation [more the former].
The one major drawback is a big space where a spinal mount would be - there are none to be had for your expedition, come hell or high water. It has been converted into a long, odd cargo extension of nonstandard dimensions.
