The two warp 4 nacelles are below the main body, with a single cargo module behind the main body. There are two large airlocks on either side of the main body ahead of the cargo module, with an even larger airlock at the rear of the cargo module for particular large cargos. A single phase cannon turret is mounted on the top of the cargo module, and it is one of the first civilian craft fitted with shields, but still retains the polarized hull plating.Envoy Freighter (PL 6)Type: Ultra LightSubtype: freighterSize: Colossal (-8)Tactical Speed: 3500 ftDefense: 2 (-8 size)Flat-Footed Defense:Autopilot Defense: 6 (-8 size, +4 autopilot)Hardness: 15Hit Dice: 16d20 (320 hp), 200 hp shieldsInitiative Modifier:Pilot's Class Bonus:Pilot's Dex Modifier:Gunner's Attack Bonus:Length: ‪160 ft (total)Weight: 300 tonsTargeting System Bonus:Crew: 3Passenger Capacity: 5Cargo Capacity: 320Grapple Modifier: +16Base PDC: 48Restriction: Lic (+1)Attack:Phased Cannon Turret -8 ranged 12d10, 20, fire, 5000 ft, singleAttack of Opportunity:Standard PL(6) Design Spec: Agile Ships (+1 Dodge), Easy to Repair (Repair DC -4, -25% time), Swiss Army Tech.Engines: thrusters, ion engines, warp drive (max warp 4)Armour: ditaniumDefense Systems: polarized hull plating, autopilot, light shieldsSensors: Class IIICommunications: radio transceiver, drivesat comm arrayWeapons:  phased cannon turretGrappling Systems: grapplers x1Light ShieldsThese shields are lighter than advanced shields (which combine shield and field technology, but are a bit weaker than both combined) and standard shields, providing less protection. This type of shielding is usually put on civilian craft or inexpensive light combat craft. These shields only add 10 hp per HD of the ship  equal to one-fourth the starship's overall Hit Dice (rounded down, minimum of 1).PDC: Shield type -2.Restriction: NoneNote: Can be combined with Advanced Shield versions.Phased CannonPhased cannons are the precursor to phaser weapons, a phased energy beam weapon that had variable energy output. Usually mounted on retractable semi turrets to give them field of fire. Able to change damage by lowering the number of die to a minimum of 3d10 as a free action once per round.Damage: 12d10Damage Type: Fire/EnergyRange Increment: 5000 ftRate of Fire: SingleMinimum Ship Size: GargantuanPurchase DC: 40Restriction: Mil (+3)Polarized Hull Plating Defensive SystemAn early defensive system developed for Starfleet in the mid 2100s, before deflector shield technology, a ship would be fitted with hull plating relays that would polarize the hull, strengthening the hull and making it more resistant to damage. It also has the advantage of making the ship more difficult to lock onto with most grappling systems. Activating Polarized Hull Plating takes a standard action, granting +5 to the ships hardness, and as long as the system has power (50% chance of this power not being interrupted) and active before the ship reaches 0 hit points, increases the ship's destruction threshold by 50%, and the ship only loses 1 hit point every 2 rounds. Most ships will have a separate power supply just for this system. Unfortunately a ship can not run this system indefinitely, and can only remain running for a maximum of 30 minutes before requiring at least 10 minutes of being inactive.PDC: 5 + one half base PDC of starship.Agile ShipsAll Star Trek ships are more agile for their size, gaining a +1 Dodge bonus to Defense as long as the ship moves.Easy to RepairDue to the nature of the technology in this universe, especially Federation or Borg technology, all repairs have DC reduced by -4, and time reduced by 25%.Swiss-Army TechDue to the adaptable nature of the technology, and skilled engineers, especially those in the Federation, a piece of technology can be jury-rigged and modified to do something it wasn't originally intended to do, as long as it is within reason (GM discretion), such as modifying the deflector array into a type of energy weapon, albeit limited use. Modifying a device this way means it can not be used for its original purpose at the same time, and requires a Knowledge: Technology check DC 18 and Repair check DC 21 and 5 +1d6 minutes for moderate changes (such as deflector array being used as a means to emit a type of energy as a weapon); while more extensive modifications require a Knowledge: Technology check DC 25  and Repair check DC 30, and 30 +2d10 minutes. This type of modification means the item is unable to be used for its original purpose until it has been restored to its original configuration.Shield DependentStar Trek ships have powerful shields, having the equivalent of Deflector Shields (d20 Future pg 42) and provide bonus HP against all attacks equal to 20 HP / starship HD + 25% HD, for example, a ship with 5 HD (100 HP) will have shields with 125 HP. However as they have developed incredible powerful shields, they are a bit lacking in the armour department, suffering -2 hit dice per category and subtype. There are a few exceptions to this rule, being Klingon, Dominion and Hirogen ships which have standard hit dice for their subtype and category, with a few notable other ships, such as the Defiant class.</blockquote>
