Introduction

The Medical Anaconda is a Anaconda-class (Smivs variant) heavy bulk transport converted for use as a hospital ship.

These vessels are operated by the GalCop Medical Corps as mobile medical treatment facilities to provide medical relief in planetary-wide natural disasters or war zones. The cargo bays have been refitted as surgical operating rooms and hospital ward facilities, and the missile launchers have been removed to comply with GalCop interstellar conventions and to provide the required space for a medical laboratory. All Medical Anacondas are fitted with planetary landing capability and a single forward pulse laser for asteroid protection.

Because of GalCop interstellar conventions prohibiting hospital ships from carrying heavy weaponry, Medical Anacondas are completely dependent upon escorts of up to six Moray Medical Boats for protection.

Installation
