No Dachi is infamous around these parts
Re: Masters of Andromeda IV (New Horizons - Out of the Ashes)

Mission's over, so I'm posting how I spent my million C, being the weak-willed hypocrit that I am. For reference, Inspectre only contacted me with the idea of not taking it after I spent two days designing the ships; so obviously I wasn't as open to the idea as I might have been...

Standing Combat Orders
The Medical Frigate stays well back from the cruisers and destroyers when in battle, lurking in the protective shadow of the Carrier Hatsuhara. Each shuttle is responsible for evacuating the wounded from two of the line combat ships; Shuttle 1 evacuates wounded from the Yudachi and the Ikazuchi, Shuttle 2 from the Amatsukaze and the Inazuma. Two Wakizashi Class Light Fighters escort each shuttle. The fighter pilots operating from the Medical Frigate have been chosen especially for their honour and dedication to duty; and are under orders to do anything, including sacrifice themselve, to save the shuttles, if the shuttles are attacked in transit. If both of its shuttles are lost in combat despite these preventative measures, the 294-M will use the Drunken Monk's shuttles as casualty transports instead.

Deflector Dish (300 C, 1 External Mount)

Additional:
2*Holodeck (transported over from Yudachi and Hatsuhara: 0 C, 4 Additional Mounts)
Hydroponics Facility (5,000 C, 4 Additional Mounts, 100 tonnes hold space)

Troops:
Samurai Marine Corps Regiment (1,000 C, 1 tonne hold space)

Standing Combat Orders/Info:
The AFS (Auxilliary Fleet Support) 609-R (Recreational) vessel, christened the Drunken Monk by an appreciative squadron's crewmen, serves as the R&R vessel for No Dachi's various ships. The two ship's shuttles each ferry leasure-hungry crewmen and women from the other vessels to their home vessel. They have no escorts and naturally do not operate in the middle of battles (though if the worst comes to worse and the Medical Ship loses both its shuttles, the shuttles from the Monk will be pressed into ambulance service). The Hydroponics Facility is partitioned into a farming area, which produces fresh, home-grown produce that is in turn distributed among the other ships, and a much larger leasure area, which is set up as a tropical rainforest with its own narrow waterfront and beach, designed to mimic the popular equatorial tourist atolls of Harkun. The Hydroponics facility is contained beneath a reinforced glass dome through which the stars are visible in all their expansive glory, and though this dome provides ample viewing pleasure it is nonetheless vunerable to damage from enemy fire; a problem compounded by the vessel's inferior missile and fighter defense systems. As such the 609-R remains well back from the fighting, behind even the Hatsuhara, and only comes forward to do its much-welcomed duty between battles. The ship's unnofficial name stems from the obvious side-effects of AFS R-types being the only class of Clan ship on which the consumption of alcohol by Clan personnel is permitted. In this sense and others the ship is effectively mobile shore leave.

Standing Orders/Info:
The ACS (Auxilliary Civilian Support) 442-S (Scientific) is a fully-equipped Asanawa Clan science vessel, sent to accompany No Dachi's squadron along with the reinforcement warships and the other new auxilliary craft. It is designed not only for analysis, but also for exploration, carrying two teams of Exploratory Surveyors and their equipment, along with Marine Corps and Imperial Army troops to escort and protect them. The Hydroponics Facility is divided in two; one half, carefully sealed and isolated by a series of airlocks from the rest of the ship, is at the moment empty, and is built to house any new alien fauna that the teams discover and find to be of interest. The other half is a simple agriculture garden set up to produce fresh food (distributed among the other vessels). The ship is armed, but is not built for combat, and will instead hang back near the Drunken Monk in case of battle.
