Curlew class modular cutter
The United Worlds Commonwealth
Back to the Starships and Spacecraft contents

The Curlew class modular cutter has been designed to carry various 29 displacement ton modules, which can be changed to give greater versatility to the mission capabilities of the Curlew.

The Curlew was designed to carry G2 series modules but it can also take G1 modules provided maximum maneuver does not exceed 1G, G3 and higher series modules can be carried but the total maneuver is then limited by the cutters own capability.
