Odysseus Blockade Runner

undefined

The Odysseus is a class of blockade runner designed by the Post-Human Republic. As with its sister ship, the Jason, the Odysseus features oversized drives and subcutaneous spectrum dampers to make it exceptionally fast and hard to detect - core attributes for any blockade runner. Unlike the Jason however, the Odysseus's mission profile is significantly more narrow - it exists primarily to establish remote beachheads, or to bolster existing ones thanks to its bulk lander capacity. This gives it value over the smaller and stealthier ships in the PHR's arsenal, as while it isn't quite as safe, it can deliver significantly more troops.

This capability has made the Odysseus crucial in the current siege of Aurelia Felix on the Cradle World of Shangri-La. Despite a UCM blockade in effect over the planet, Odysseus blockade runners have managed to keep the beleaguered PHR forces resupplied and reinforced.
