More details of Intruder-E emerge

DDS sub-contractor Consolidated Spacecraft have announced more details of the export version of the HCS Intruder landing ship, which now looks set for an order from the DDS. They said that the ship would use a downrated version of the Hitachi HS-740 power unit that has been used in SUP ships like the Provider and Extender transports. Defense systems would also be based on that used on SUP ships. The common parts and expertise needed to maintain the Intruder-E is another cost benefit a spokesman said.
