CQA-02 New York Class Covert Operations Cruiser Spaceframe
OVERVIEW
The New York-Class Covert Operations Cruiser was commishioned by the Systems Alliance Spacy in 2215 following the Verge Extreme Deep Operations competition between the major spacecraft design and construction companies of transhuman space. Ultimately, it was New Los Angeles Yards, a traditional american Hypercorp and established shipbuilder in the civilian and military world, who garnered the multi-billion contract to create the New York Class and an initial group of 40 of the vehicles, to be delivered by 2221.
The New York-class stands out in that its basic spaceframe layout, a semi-winged aerodynamic body, is shared by a number of other New Los Angeles yard products for the civilian market, primarily freight vehicles but also other purpose machines, up to and including armed merchant designs. This allows many of the components used in the structure and spaceframe of the New York-class to be mass-produced, especialy the micro-sintered spaceframe skeleton (which tend to be expensive on military vehicles as they aren't mass-produced in large numbers, complicating line assembly.) While at first glance this only serves as a cost-cutting measure, it is actually part of an approach for Verge Operations that cloaks military vehicles among a slew of civilian vehicles with a similiar spaceframe. Using Hull Adaptation Kits, the New York Class can quickly be disguided, and on long-range and short-range imaging is essentialy indistnquishable from an armed merchant or entirely unarmed spacecraft.
Underneath this quirky hull, the New York Class features the standard load-out of a cruiser, with accomodations for its covert operations requirments. The New York Class can embark an entire Mobile Strike Batallion (MSB) of the Espatiers, with vehicles and interface craft, has an extened flight deck and space parasite bays, can hold several flights of AKVs as well as a flight of Space Combat Vehicles (fighters), and has standard cruiser arnaments.
For Covert Operations, the New York class has an extended holding deck for prisoners, including a cryonanic storage room for cryo-freezing up to 250 prisoners, a Class-II Special Forces Module, and extended consumables stores. EWAR abilities are expanded, as well as the sensor suite, and there is an expanded TMS with additional lithium heat sinks that allow the cruiser to run "civ-cold" even when powering its more advanced onboard systems.
USE
The New York Class is operated both by the Spacy and the Alliance Intelligence Agency, with primary (confirmed) operative enviroments being the trailward frontier, Verge, Traverse and the Terminus. The New York Class is used for pro-active patrol work (trapping Pirates and documenting space activity), covert planetary assault work, and is involved with Black Ops and Wet work. Several times, New York class cruisers have performed covert tactical and strategic attacks on target of opportunity. SSV Brooklyn destroyed the Pirate Station Mker'tilkrat in 2228 via low-relativistic fly-by tactical nuclear strike, SSV Momochi Sandayu destroyed several surface settlements either by Pure Fusion TacNuke or kinetic bombardment during the Cold Verge War and the Second Verge War.
Operative use as of 2230+ remains classified. The number of New York Class cruisers is estimated at 165 active plattforms, in three blocks.

A/N: This is the (mostly complete) Spec Sheet of the SSV Fujibayashi Nagato, the current transport of our heroes. The Section 9-used New York class deviates from the standard military spec sheet in several regards, and it doesn't carry the fuel combat load (or munitions) of a military-duty New York.
