“Cramped and tight, but fast and powerful.” The Emu-class of attack submarines was made by Englund-Rand Heavy Manufacturing to patrol trade routes between stations and respond quickly to piracy or attacks from the local fauna. Despite only displacing four thousand standard tons, the Emu boasts an impressive armament, and the ability to expand her armament for only an additional five hundred tons of displacement all while still boasting a design maximum speed of 23kph.

What she has in speed and firepower she lacks in endurance. She has no onboard defabricator or any sort of fabricator system, and her reactor is fuel hungry and maintenance intensive along with the rest of her electrical grid. Her engines also suffer degradation when pushed beyond a cruising speed of 18kph. A cruiser she is not, but if she can reach a threat she can likely kill it.

She is entirely vanilla in construction and should be compatible with all mods that a vanilla sub would be.

The Emu War (or Great Emu War) was a nuisance wildlife management military operation undertaken in Australia over the later part of 1932 to address public concern over the number of emus said to be destroying crops in the Campion district within the Wheatbelt of Western Australia. The unsuccessful attempts to curb the population of emus employed...

Gotcha. I was picking names for subs for this shipyard based on birds. So, the attack subs are the Emu, the Ostrich, and the Cassowary. The Cargo Subs are the Kiwi, the Albatross (working on that one now), and the Condor. I'm still not sure about the Scout Sub names. I'm thinking maybe the Raven, the Peregrine, and the Eagle.
