It has a narrow hull, with the forward half being the mobile suit catapult with other systems under it. At the rear are a set of 3 paired engines, two directly at the rear of the hull, and the other two in pods that are mounted below the hull sticking out to the sides. Under the bottom engine pods  are long cooling fins that are almost blade-like in shape, one under each. Mounted on the sides of the hull, above the engine pods are six propellant tanks, three each side. These tanks are designed to be easily replaced for quicker refueling.Armament, the Clop has a pair of twin mega particle guns, mounted on the sides just below the mobile suit hanger. These are supported by fourteen anti-aircraft guns for point defense system, and six missile launchers mounted in the forward hull below the catapult, typically carrying CHE missiles, although other warheads can be mounted. The mobile suit hanger can carry 6 mobile suits. Due to the placement of the mega particle guns, it can't fire directly behind. Clop (PL 5-6)Type: MediumweightSubtype: Light CruiserSize: Colossal (-8 size)Tactical Speed: 3500Defense: 7Flat-Footed Defense: 8Autopilot Defense: -Hardness: 30Hit Dice: 190d20 (3800 hp)Initiative Modifier: +2Pilot's Class Bonus: +3Pilot's Dex Modifier: +2Gunner's Attack Bonus: +2Length: 958 ftWeight: 29,830 tons (increase)Targeting System Bonus: +3Crew: 65 (trained (+4)Passenger Capacity: 15Cargo Capacity: 2200 tonsGrapple Modifier: +16Base PDC: 64Restriction: Mil +3Attack:Twin Mega Particle Cannon -5 ranged 15d20 energy, x4, 6000 ft and Twin Mega Particle Cannon ranged;Or Twin Mega Particle Cannon -5 ranged 15d20 energy, x4, 6000 ft and Multi-Shot CHE missile launcher -5 ranged, 6d12. ball, 19-20;Or Multi-Shot CHE missile launcher -5 ranged, 6d12. ball, 19-20. and Multi-Shot CHE missile launcher -5 ranged, 6d12. ball, 19-20.Attack of Opportunity: Point defense system -5 ranged (3d12x10 ballistic)Standard PL(5-6) Design Spec: mobile suit hanger (6 mobile suits), mobile suit catapult, heat radiatorsEngines: fusion torch drive, thrustersArmour: vanadiumDefense Systems: autopilot, radiation shielding, point defense systemSensors: Class III, targeting systemCommunications: Radio & Laser transceiversWeapons: twin mega particle cannons (2), 6 Tube Multi-shot CHE missileGrappling Systems: NoneNotes: The layout of the mega particle cannons prevents them from firing directly to the sides. Mega Particle CannonThese cannons uses the same principles as beam weapons used on mobile weapons, only on a larger scale. Unfortunately, while these weapons are devastating, they have a slow rate of fire, able to fire once every other round.Mega Particle Cannon (PL6)Damage: 10d20Critical: x4Damage Type: EnergyRange Increment: 6000 ftRate of Fire: 1 every 2 roundsMinimum Ship Size: ColossalPurchase DC: 42Restriction: Mil +3 Multi-Shot CHE LaunchersThese are CHE launchers that can fire up to 6 missiles at once. If fired at a single target, treated as a fire-linked and battery of three 2 missiles, dealing 9d12 ballistic damage, +2 to attack roll. Or can target up to 6 individual targets using a single attack roll at -4 for all targets. If less than 6 targets are selected, one additional missile will strike a random target already targeted by a missile. Carries enough missiles to fire 10 times before requiring reloading.Clop carries 2 additional reloads, but takes 1d4x3 rounds for each reload. Mobile Suit CatapultThis device is a magnetic launcher used to launch a mobile suit from the ship carrying it. If mobile suits are ready, it can launch a mobile suit each round.  The catapult can launch a mech up to 10,000 ft before the mech requires needs to use its own propulsion systems. Heat RadiatorsThe two large fins that extend from the outer engine pods are large heat radiators, capable of dissipating heat quickly. This allows the mega particle cannons, for 5 rounds declared by the gunner, capable of firing once every round instead of once every two rounds, but afterwards can't use this ability again for 3 minutes (18 rounds).  Alternatively for 5 rounds at a time, the pilot can increase the speed to 4000 ft, but requires a 5 minute (30 rounds) cooldown before doing so again, as heat is directed through the heat radiators. The two abilities can't be used at the same time as it is too much heat for the radiators to handle. </blockquote>
