Notes
1. The Va'leh-class MBT can carry a
secondary cargo module which attaches directly ventral to the main cargo hold.
When attached, it is typically accessed through the bomb bay doors.
2. A Trace Compression Drive's main feature is a rotary engine block. The engine block (or main reactor) must be continuously rotating in order to generate power for all the ship's systems; if any of the necessary components of the block fail, the block will not rotate and thus cannot generate power. Without a back-up generator system, all ship's functions, including life support, would fail within hours.
3. Series 1 through 3 of the Va'leh-class were built standard with navigational deflectors only. The Series 3 is capable of having her shield systems upgraded to full defensive shields. Series 1 through 3 are also unarmed, though private owners have been known to add weapons systems such as particle beam emitters, phasers, disruptors, and missile launchers.
4. Private owners have also been known to install small transporter platforms, most often for use by the crew and passengers.
