A class of massive transport utilized by the Galactic Empire's cloning program from their facilities scattered around the galaxy to the Tantiss Base containment zone on Weyland. They are manned by Imperial commandos led by an Imperial royal guard commando and carry at least one medical droid. To ensure maximum operational security, their destination is undeclared and not logged on the ship's computer to prevent enemies from finding out about Weyland; the vessels are also unmarked to prevent identification in case they crashed. Armed with a single ventral NNJ-40 "Thunderbolt" long-range ion cannon.

Maybe the large size is to accommodate any cargo it might be carrying.  The cargo could be scientific equipment or scientific samples.
 
 
 
I think you made a few errors here.
 
There's no crew skill listed.
 
You have Passive: 20/D.  Do you mean 20/0D?
 
The 100-300/1.2/2 should be the atmosphere range, not the damage, which leaves the damage from the ion turret unknown.

				True, but look at OTHER large bulk like freighter size ships, some of which still need a dozen or more crew.. _________________ Confucious sayeth, don't wash cat while drunk! |

				Odd name: if it’s a research vessel, why isn’t it equipped to do actual research?
 
 
And considering the stock Starfighter-Scale Ion Cannon has a Range of 1-3/7/36, an Ion Cannon with a maximum Long Range of 20 doesn’t exactly qualify as “long range”. _________________ "No set of rules can cover every situation.

				He's probably in a lot of pain, ○nd/or heavily medicated.  I'd cut him some slack & trust he'll make corrections/revisions when he can. _________________ Facing all that you fear will free you from yourself.
