Thell

By far the tiniest mainline submarine produced by the AIC, Thell is a swift, energy-efficient scout-class vessel that is beloved by small independent crews. Despite packing less firepower than a Dugong, Thell’s compactness means its two pulse lasers are able to provide it adequate defensive cover from most fauna found in Europa's Cold Caverns. The striking red paint job not only makes it instantly recognisable but also helps it outspeed many of its bulkier counterparts.[/code]

[h1][b] Features [/b][/h1]
[h3] Captain’s periscope [/h3]
The periscope by the helm allows the captain to operate the ship’s guns without having to leave their seat, which is useful for solo sailors or small crews without dedicated gunners. Switch between dorsal and ventral turrets by double clicking while looking through the periscope (note: this system is best suited for pulse lasers and chainguns). 

[h3] Automatic discharge coil (optional) [/h3]
Thell’s frontal blindspot is covered by a single electrical discharge coil which proves effective against Europa’s smaller critters. By default, it is fired manually from the sonar display panel. The coil can be set to automatic motion-activation using the switch on the base of the Nav Terminal (green light = auto, red light = manual).
