The Traducer Fast Cruiser was designed in YE 36 by NMX designers on Ukk. It was conceived as a blockade runner and raiding ship, able to disguise its outline false parts and stealth materials.
The Traducer is composed of three blocky sections. Its mid-section has two short stubby wings extending from it. The aft section houses the engine compartment and enlisted crew quarters. It has a smooth surface, dotted with bulbous blisters, which house the various weapons systems.
This ship was designed by the NMX on Ukk for an NMX warlord, it was intended to be used as a blockade runner and commerce raider. In the former role, it was to break out and set up a new NMX base in some hinterland of the galaxy. For the latter role, the Traducer was to have false structures built onto its hull to resemble various merchant ships and attack merchant shipping with the goal of creating tension between the current powers.
It features many advanced technologies developed by the NMX towards the end of the war. This makes each unit costlier and more complex to produce, leading to fewer units constructed. In turn, each ship's commanding officer is selected carefully for its traits. Every ship is captained by a Mishhu whose loyalty and competence are beyond question.
The Traducer is designed to be faster and more heavily armed than the opposition. Armor is sacrificed for increased shielding and speed.
Crew: 220 minimum, 350 optimal
Maximum Capacity: There are accommodations for 120. A total of 850 may fit on board though the ship will be extremely cramped.
