1. About the NSS Cedar and NSS Canary
The NSS Cedar and NSS Canary and the would be the first Militarized versions of the Red Hill Light Transport, and would sport prototype upgrades that may be implemented into future Military and Civilian Red Hills in the NAM United Maintenance Plan in YE30 and the years thereafter.
The Transports is to assist the NSS Alliance in its missions. Also with the help of the science team onboard the Canary, to test and evaluate prototypes and mass products for NAM.
2. History and Background
NAM was facing a problem. Due to the fact that the conflict between the Reds and Greens were at a Cold War stage, their new Power Armors will remain untested in battle along with any other newer machinery they would produce.
Noting that the NSS Alliance will be seeing combat, along with the logistical troubles it encountered. NAM has entered a joint venture together with the SAoN to provide assistance to the Alliance and run tests.
Two modified Red Hills will be produced for this purpose.

Width: 80M
Length: 250M (without modules)
Height: 30M (without modules)
Decks: 2
Mass: 80,000 Tons (without modules)
4. Performance Statistics
Speed (STL): 0 to 0.80c Sublight
Speed (FTL): 15,000cc
Speed (Aerial): Mach 2, has landing gear (4 short legs) and can land on a packed soil.
Speed (Water): With VTOL capability the Red Hill can take off and land in water.
Range (Distance): As far as the crew.
Range (Support): 3 Months Oxygen Maximum.
Lifespan: With routine upgrades & maintenance , the Red Hill class has an estimated life of 70 years
Refit Cycle: 5 years, or as needed. Modular Upgrades are available as they are developed and produced.
5. Inside the Red Hill
Bridge: The Bridge of the Red Hill class is located inside the ship, so that potential pirates cant fry the bridge for easy loot. Consists of two tiers, the captain sits on the higher tier and controls ship movements. On the semi circular lower tier there are three terminals but on a 5 crew basis, one man on sensors and systems and one man on weapons. The bridge is suitably spaced and comfortable. Holographic projectors in the room project screens on the walls for a higher heads up. Fore section.
Crew Quarters: The quarters are on twin sharing basis, in a small room with a double bunk, one table and closet. The captain has a larger one man room for himself, but showers are communal. Queasy captains partition one shower head for themselves. Fore section.
Kitchen and Living Room: ¾ Of a deck dedicated for enjoying oneself and eating ones fill. The living room is normally furnished with sofas, holoscreens, workout machines and potted plants. The kitchen is made for two (4 max) and smoke vents are in place. There are three dining tables is large enough for all of the crew, and actually has artificial gravity generators on them so that your half eaten pudding wont be all over the walls when the ship exits battle stations and local gravity turned back on. Fore section.
Spine: The section linking the fore and aft sections of the ship. This is a 10m x 15m x 100m empty space over two decks. The NSS Cedar's upper spine would carry passenger seats and toilets, whereas in the NSS Canary this floor would be the control room for the science team. Both ships have their lower spine empty.
Engine Block: The whole aft section. The main power and shield generators are placed here.
Corridors: The walkways are well lighted with floor and headlamps. A conveyor belt handhold runs along the side for Zero-G traveling.
6. Ship Systems
Hull:
Composed of thick panels of Neutronium-coated steel around a carbon nanotube frame and anti-radiation shielding, the Red Hill's hull provides decent protection. More emphasis was put on the spine however, as such a narrow connection between the front and back of the Red Hill is an obvious weaknesses.
The Militarized version of the Red Hill will also carry additional snap on armor plates all over the ship. These plates can take a lot of damage, but shatter when hit repeatedly in the same place. Also gives the Red Hill a very good EMP resistance.
The NSS Canary would have magnetic penny sized tunnels throughout the structure of the ship which would end in pores on the hull. Nanomachines from the Nano-assembler in the Science Hold can travel through the ship in these tunnels to provide emergency repair to the Red Hill.
Power: Fusion Generator NFG-02a
Provides great amounts of low tech and affordable energy, unfortunately quite large sized (40% of aft section). Power is provided by cable through the spine to the fore section. Capacitors are in place should the generators fail, and would last for a few days Located at the back of the ship.
Shields: Combined Shielding CPS-02a
For standardization sake NAM had lumped the two systems of energy shield and repulsion together. To offset the weak armor ( and potential repair costs ) the CPS here has a higher power to weight ratio than on the Firefly. The Red Hill is capable of taking a serious pounding before the shields fail with a one hour full recharge time ( So run run run! ). Lacks the overcharge function on previous NAM designs. Generator is at the back.
Antigravity/ Gravity
Basic necessities. Normally turned off in battle conditions so more power can be channeled to the CPS-02a.
Airlock System:
The main airlocks are located port/starboard near the ships main bridge with one dorsal airlock above the engineering section. Every room in the Red Hill can be sectioned off, the spine counts as two rooms.
Module system:
The Red Hill can carry 2 Modular cargo units. The module system is the measurement of standard cargo capacity. Each "Cargo Moduleâ€
