Notes (1) This ship is built in two almost identical versions: APAS Corvette Transport and P-APAS Armed Yacht/Luxury Transport. The APAS version is armed with 150cm grasers forward/aft as chase energy weapons; the P-APAS version has 50cm lasers in place of the grasers.
(2) In the APAS configuration, the ship carries one Marine Company, with a Company-sized Powered Armour Morgue. In the P-APAS configuration, the ship carries up to 30 passengers in 2x luxury suites, 6x single staterooms, and 10x double staterooms, plus up to 30 support staff in addition to the regular ship’s crew.
This design is based on the Manticoran Star Falcon-class yacht/courier. The first unit built was RGPS Paul Tankersley II, a P-APAS Private Man-of-War.
