The Night Landing Craft, or N.L.C., is a small, sea-based weapons platform built around a sturdy inflatable raft. This vehicle, first put into service in the year 2001 by the Joes, is a green and black affair (the black bits being the raft, and the green being the add-ons), and has these vehicular statistics and capabilities:

C Ex 20

S Ty 6

B Gd 10

P Gd 10

Communications Array: the N.L.C. is equipped with a 'super-frequency', frequency-wobbler radio system (and has dual transceiver antennas). This makes for Typical (6) communications power (with a 100 mile range) that has Remarkable (30) ranked signal encryption - not bad at all, that.

Harpoon Launcher: mounted on the starboard (right) side of the Night Landing Craft, this weapon is great for latching onto enemy craft - or spearing an unlucky sailor. It can be fired to inflict Excellent (20) Edged Attack damage, and can pierce objects of up to Incredible (40) m.s.

Recovery Crane: this front-mounted hook, with a good fifty feet of steel cable attached to it, can be used by the N.L.C.'s pilot to drag sinking and/or abandoned craft along for the ride. The cable can pull tons of weight before snapping (material strength of Incredible (40)).

Sensor Suite: the Night Landing Craft is equipped with a fully functional, military-grade Global Positioning System receiver, not to mention a wind gauge. This gear allows Cutter (or whoever else is piloting the N.L.C.) to navigate with pinpoint precision in the course of a mission.

Torpedo Launcher: on the port (left) side of the N.L.C. is a one-shot torpedo launcher. While it can only be shot once per mission (since the N.L.C. hasn't the room to carry spare torpedoes), this weapon is usually enough to sink smaller craft. These sonar-guided torpedoes have these vehicular stats:

C Rm 30

S Rm 30

B Ex 20

Damage Rm 30 Edged Attack

Ultra-Candescent Lamps: this trio of lamps, mounted on the N.L.C.'s windshield, are powerful light casting implements capable of producing Remarkable (30) illumination. This helps to deal with night operations, and can provide an improvised blinding attack under certain (surprise) conditions.
