Description[edit]
The Oceanic Series II personal VTOL is a luxury transport for corporate executives and the ultra-rich. Produced during the early Star League era, the vehicle found a niche market among the wealthy.[1][2]
The Lexan Oceanic company produced the craft with the aid of Boeing Unlimited; however, the Succession Wars saw the destruction of all its factories. By the thirty-first century production resumed at newly acquired New Earth production site reacquired from IrTech after IrTech left the personal VTOL craft business.[1]
The craft continues to be built as of 3067, along with its more expensive sister craft, the Oceanic Series VI Luxury VTOL.[1]
Equipment and Capabilities[edit]
The Series II is equipped with a fusion engine, which allows the craft to transport its passengers over unlimited range at high speeds. The craft has been equipped with an armored chassis and one ton of BAR 10 commercial armor. It also has an ECM suite to augment the armor protection for its passengers and crew.[1]
The craft has been given a six-person passenger capacity with a half-ton cargo capacity and a rear door.
Variants[edit]
Custom Variants[edit]
- Lexan surveillance helo (prototype) - An experimental variant of the Series II, this model was prototyped and placed into a limited production run in 3075. The VTOL was designed to serve as a recon vehicle for the experimental Cloud Ten air carrier. The craft features Angel ECM gear and a recon camera for its principal mission. The Ocean II's armor has been retained at the BAR 10 Rating. For self-defense purposes, the craft has two small lasers, but they lack any fire control to employ them effectively. Six prototypes were sent to the Cloud Ten when it began its promotional tour rally to interest potential customers. BV (2.0) = 232[3]
- Lexan surveillance helo (production model) - This is the advanced technology version of the militarized Lexan VTOL, which was put into production in 3078. The VTOL is two tons heavier than the prototype and has a slightly lower top speed. It is equipped with two Defiance BS3 small lasers and a recon camera mounted in a VTOL chin turret. In addition, the experimental Angel ECM suite has been traded for a more popular Guardian ECM suite. BV (2.0) = 232[4][5]
Design Quirks[edit]
The Lexan surveillance helo (production model) variant is subject to the following Design Quirks:[4]
