MFS Scorched Earth General Overview

---

The Scorched Earth was designed with the idea for a craft that would provide close air support for ground assault troops. The Scorched Earth contains two torpedo launchers that are mounted on the top of the hull and upgraded phaser arrays, The Scorched Earth can carry either photon or phased torpedoes . This allows shuttle to destroy enemy troops facilities and armored units. The Scorched Earth also has reinforced armor on the under carriage and rear to fend off enemy fire. The ship can only hold enough room for the primary crew as the rear is used to house torpedo magazines, these magazines are also designed for quick load so that when the shuttle has exhausted its payload it can return to its primary ship for a fast reload.

The Scorched Earth can also be used as a torpedo boat to attack enemy cruisers and capital ships. Squads of theses shuttles along with fighter escort can get close enough to launch salvos of phased torpedoes. This makes the Scorched Earth a great complement to any tactical fighter unit.
