OVERVIEW

    The TME-51 Sulaco is based on the hyperspatial vessel detected in the Alien Space/Time Sphere.  With moderate acceleration capability, this million-ton heavy cruiser has an adequate weapons array and superior armor.

CAPABILITIES

    Extended-range perimeter fire is provided by a ring of six AR10 capital missile launchers and six strategically located heavy naval lasers.   Six medium naval particle projection cannons provide long-range cover fire, and thirty-si naval autocannon give the Sulaco a deadly close-in punch.  Eighty large pulse lasers provide point defense fire against fighters and small craft.

    Eighteen aerospace fighters act as a defensive grid for the Sulaco.  Three small craft can ferry cargo or its 560 marines in a boarding action.  Six DropShips can hitch a ride through hyperspace through six DropShip collars.

DEPLOYMENT

    Seven TME-51 Sulacos currently operate in the Inner Sphere, and two TME-51Cs operate in Clan Space.
