Capsule: By far the oldest of the assault vehicles used by the
Keltarrin Protectorate, the Trailblazer is also one of the most
durable, reliable, and easily maintained command vehicles in the galaxy.
The first word that comes to most beings' minds when they get their first
look at a Trailblazer is "ugly". Resembling a flying brick, these
craft are certainly not designed for aesthetics. What they are designed
for, however, is survivability under adverse combat conditions and in this
role they excel. With a respectable flight speed, decent handling capabilities,
and a hull made of 10 centimeter thick biphase carbide alloy the Trailblazer
can survive amazing amounts of punishment and run away from what it can't
survive. The craft's only weakness is the low range of it's weapons systems.
The four quad turbolasers and fourteen pulse lasers have excellent punch
and penetration value but are sadly lacking in range. This is offset slightly
by the excellent sensor package that the Trailblazer carries which
can often give early warning of approaching danger before said danger is
within optimal firing range. The Keltarrin Protectorate is currently looking
into the feasibility of upgrading the existing Trailblazers since
replacing them with an entirely new vehicle would be a budgeting and planning
nightmare.
