The Carmania is a multi purpose vessel designed for extended missions far away from base or other support. It's salvage array and cargo space allow it to engage in effective asteroid mining in most circumstances. It comes with a standard chain drive, with operating instructions in the engine room.
While it's not a warship, it possesses sufficient firepower to successfully engage many low to medium threat vessels of similar or smaller size. It is particularly suited to the anti pirate/anti partisan role. Other uses may be as a cargo delivery vessel in hostile regions of space.
It can also function as a solid fleet asset.
The design was inspired by the RMS Carmania, a British merchant ship which was converted into an armed merchant cruiser and distinguished herself in the Battle of Trinidade during WWI, sinking the German merchant cruiser SMS Cap Trafalgar.
