while vastly overpowered for a starting Trader, my group get this ship as is when we saved the all the children of the nobles of a hive. each survivor added a couple SP. the GM was rolling crap and we were rolling outstanding rolls that night. some times the emperor does bless you.

edit: geller field and warpsbane hull removed due to misreading of discriptions.

Er. You have three geller fields.

Beast of war

secondary genarator (+10 power), 4 cargo holds (due to large size 2 can be converted to landing bays)

lathe-pattern class1 drive, strelov 1 warp engine, geller field, single void shield array, commerce bridge, vitae pattern life sustainer, clan-kin crew quarters, m-100 auger array

weapons

prow disruption macrocannon, port and starboard hold landing bays (6 squadrons of landing craft), port and starboard lathe-pattern landing bays (aeronautica fighters and bombers, 3 air force units)

supplemental components

6 barracks, 3 main cargo holds (used for troop's supplies and vehicles), small craft repair deck, pilot's chamber, salvage systems, spacedock piers, manufactorum, medicae deck, lux net

the beast is designed to transport and support a combined arms invasion of a system. it is almost helpless in space combat itself, it relies on it's escorts for defense. lurking outside a system it waits for the navy to secure the space around a planet, then making it's way in it deploys it's troops planetside. salvages any hulks created from the space battle. deploys the space docks to help with repairs of damaged warships. it also operates as a hospital ship for ground forces and repair bay for the air force units. the manufactorum insures that spare parts for aircraft and tanks are always on hand. the beast can't operate all of it's systems at once, luckly it never needs to. when the warp, the lux net is in, space dock piers are folded and locked, salvage systems are powered down and un maned, and weapon unpowered. after exiting the warp, the warp engines and geller field are shutdown. this allows some of the other systems to come online, but prevents escape into the warp. once in position it stops and deploys it's lux net, this provides extra power for repairs and support.

might just be me but the way i read the description the warpsbane hull reinforces the geller field but isn't the actual field. and the emergency field is extra circuits added to an existing field. just cuts down on accidental exposures to the warp. might just be me.

edit: though after looking at it closer i seem to have read it wrong.
