JNS Mistress of Guile

The Mistress is an 8 gun combat sloop. She was formerly one of the few ships under house Janet's command, but is now independently operated by Captain Raye.   She is built to a standard frame with a thin hull plating ontop of a lightly reinforced frame. The Mistress is a central cylinder that houses the primary ship systems, cargo bay, engines and quite a few of the common spacer's berthing are located here. Attached to the cylinder are two rotating spars that provide an induced .8G artificial gravity, in these spars is housed the command deck as well as officer habitation.   Equipped with 8 smaller cannons she's a match for most cutters and schooner size ships but against a well armed brig her situation becomes precarious.   The Mistress is capable of berthing a crew of 90 spacers and officers though at that compliment many of the common spacers would be double bunking. The normal crew compliment is 40 spacers and officers though it can manage with a skeleton crew of 16.   During combat and under thrust the rotating spars fold into the hull, both to protect them and to keep 2 different G forces from acting on the habitat area.   During acceleration the Mistress is able to output up to 2Gs of force making her quick to change course. In an emergency with radiators extended the Mistress is capable of a 2.3Gs acceleration though she is also capable of 2.3 without radiators thanks to very generous internal heat sinks
