Hecate-class Runabout (Shipwright: Pizzuto Industries Orbital Yard, Luna)
The Hecate-class is a derivative of the Janus-class, produced on an as-requested basis. Unlike the stock Janus-class, which removed the original Janus‘s fourth deck, the Hecate-class retains the fourth deck as room for after-market modifications. Beyond this, the major difference between the Hecate-class and the Janus-class is that the Hecate-class has a radically different layout on the upper deck. Numerous systems that are in the upper deck on the Janus-class are instead located in the lower (fourth) deck, and the space they would have occupied is instead configured as a single-craft hangar bay, capable of holding 1 vessel of up to Gargantuan size. The Hecate class is easily distinguished from the Janus-class due to the addition of two vertical control surfaces which aid in the maneuvering of the vessel when in an atmosphere, in addition to the overall larger profile of the vehicle.
Military Hecate-class runabouts come armed standard with 2 dual gatling cannons, a nanomissile array (100 missiles), and a single light missile tube. Civilian models instead come equipped with a basic luxury upgrade. None of these systems consume any additional EP, and are instead part of the stock systems.
