Overview
The Cassandra is a heavily modified and upgraded version of the Dart
class Light Cruiser constructed by Clan Fire Mandrill and Clan Sea Fox. The
ship's origin lays somewhere between the Clans and the periphery pirates
known as the Stone Spirits.
Capabilities
The Cassandra is at it's heart a Dart-class Cruiser with the same
engines and structural integrity but from there it is a different ship. The
Cassandra has four AR-10 Multi-Purpose Capital Missiles replacing the Dart's
Killer Whales. Twenty-two class 55 Naval Lasers replace the original ship's
mixed bag of NL35s and NL45s. Sixteen NAC/25 replace the mixed calibres of
the original Dart while six Heavy Naval Particle cannons provide long range
broadside firepower.
The Fire Mandrills added seventy-five Extended-Range Large Lasers,
twenty-four Anti-Missile Systems and four Screen Launchers for the defence
of the ship. More than one thousand-two hundred tons of Lamellor Ferro-
carbide armour coat the hull in a thick defence.
The Fire Mandrill's have essentially turned the Cassandra into a
mini-carrier with an entire trinary of aerospace fighters and a binary of
small craft supporting the craft. Seventy-five Battle Armoured Marines
provide on ship security and troops for boarding actions. During their
refits the Fire Mandrill's have added six more DropShip collars increasing
the ship's attack capabilities, cargo carrying capacity and carrier
capacity.
The Cassandra's 'ace in the hole' are the fourteen MASH theatres,
and eight hundred berths on board which are mostly reserved for the medical
personnel and casualties. Almost fifty-five thousand tons of cargo space
remain on board the Cassandra it is unknown what this cargo space is used
for however it is suspected that the Fire Mandrill's have built into the
ship several Iron Wombs capable of maintaining their breeding program
regardless of any losses the Mandrill's take on the ground. The truth
about the facility is unknown.
Deployment
Cassandra is unique to Clan Fire Mandrill and has recently been
seen supporting efforts of the Fire Mandrills to rebuild the shipyard
facility taken from the Draconis Combine. The DropShips, Elementals and
Small Craft on board the ship providing support for construction crews.
The Mandrill's only Aesir and Vanir DropShip pair are permenantly
assigned to the ship. Initially the two DropShips, which were won from
the Ghost Bears, were assigned to the Khan's escort but now they appear to
be be assigned to the Cassandra leading many to believe that the ship also
acts as some sort of command vessel.
