====== RV-404T 'Ghoul' Light Utility Drop/Gunship Platform ======
^{{INLINETOC}}^^
A light three engine utility dropship originally designed by the Helsegan Commonwealth, it is now widely produced and employed throughout the Colonial Pact in both civil and military uses. Its roles include light transport, reconnaissance, airborne command and control, and general air/orbital assault operations.

===== Shipboard Systems =====
The following are the ship's internal systems, the primary being the power, propulsion, electronics and support systems.
==== Power and Propulsion ====
The dropship has a seperate power and propulsion system consisting of a single on board fusion reactor with a fission type long lived battery system to provide startup power. Its drive system consists of three primary fusion-plasma systems with one being dedicated to vertical maneuvering and two more for primary forward propulsion.

**Mean Average Active Sensor Range -** Target transient detection up to 140 astronomical units, high definition capable of positive target identification typically falls at 80 astronomical units depending on astrological conditions.\\
**Mean Average Passive Sensor Range -** Target transient detection up to 190 astronomical units, high definition capable of positive target identification typically depends on conditions and the size of a target. For a vessel comparable to the Fromm-class it can detect and identify up to 100 astronomical units away depending on conditions on what sort of activities the vessel is carrying out.\\

==== Grom-1 Active Jammer ====
//[[colonial_pact:technologies:cmaj|A powerful shipboard multispectral jamming system]]// that can operate in either a general emission mode or in a selective narrow focus mode. The Grom-3 is primarily targeted against hostile ship, strikecraft, and guided munitions as a means to confuse or simply burn out sensors employs to detect and track targets using the various waveforms of the electromagnetic spectrum. Its effectiveness can vary due to ambient conditions as well as the quality of enemy electronic counter-countermeasures.
</WRAP>
<WRAP third column>
==== Braza-2M Active Decoy Launcher ====
A //[[colonial_pact:technologies:mdds|factory sealed six shot launcher system that employs the starship scale mobile decoy drone system]]//, it is used as a way to either enlarge the ships sensor signature by having them fly in close formation or as a means to distract or decoy away incoming strikecraft or ordinance. The latter of which can be done with either a straight line run, a pattern, or in a random adapative fashion depending on the enemy response to it. The Fromm has a total of six of these box launchers strategically mounted on the hull surface to provide full coverage from all the main ship approaches.

==== Veber-21 Flare and Chaff Launcher ====
Consisting of individual eighty cell 100mm diameter munition tubes, //[[colonial_pact:technologies:flareandchaff|each box launcher is loaded with half and half of each type of munition (chaff and maneuvering flares)]]//. Each flare can burn for up to two minutes and each chaff munition is capable of expanding out to a radius of two kilometers in zero-gravity conditions.
