Janus-class Runabout ^{(Shipwright: Pizzuto Industries Orbital Yard, Luna)}

The Janus-class Runabout is based off of the design used for the Janus, the civilian experimental testbed craft used to test many of the systems now commonplace on Terran Alliance spaceships. Potentially lightly armed, moderately armored, and with a triple-deck design, it was intended for use for a range of military applications, but it also sees use in the private sector as a private yacht or transport vessel. More than a few Janus-class Runabouts have been sold for civilian use, but for the most part those that are sold off are sold disarmed aside from an AI-Controlled Pulse Laser Array for self-defense purposes – obtaining and maintaining a weapons load-out permit is a very difficult chore.
Military Janus-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.

JR00: S.S. Janus [CIV-038] – The lead ship of the class and testbed for the Higgs Drive, the Janus is technically a Hecate-class vessel.  These days it serves as an experimental testbed for technologies developed by its owner and designer, CEC Council General Marko Suslovich, much to the annoyance of officials who would rather parade it around the Alliance as a fundraising technique.  However, the vehicle is the property of CGNC Suslovich who purchased it from the Alliance in 2026.  Though a civilian vessel, the Janus maintains an active weapons load-out permit and is currently listed as assigned to the T.A.S.S. Feng-Huang, where CGNC Suslovich serves as Chief Engineer.
