The Unresolved-class G-Carrier was commissioned by Adifux Inc LIC Pty Ltd as the company's primary means of surface transportation. Two of the company's owners (the Aslan noble, Sir Eoraokortitrikhue (OEG) of Rhylanor and the Droyne noble, Sir Ervmisbe (OEG) of Auitawry) specified that the external shell be identical to the time-honoured Resolve-class, allowing them to hide a high-performance vehicle inside a façade that would not arouse suspicion - in effect, creating a Q-ship. Even the fusion gun has been modelled to look as much as possible like the Resolve's standard laser. As long as the vehicle is driven as though it were a Resolve (with a cruising speed of 315 kph and top speed of 420 kph), most people don't give it a second look. However, a close visual inspection will show that the "laser", at the very least, is not what it seems.A normal extrality line inspection of the vehicle will not reveal the nature of the craft. A close inspection will reveal the extra sensor equipment, and a suspicious customs officer may wonder about the thick armour and the high-tech power plant (half the size of the original but with three times the output!). However, Low Law Level worlds (3-) will generally allow the craft through. At Moderate Law Levels (4-7), even a vehicle-mounted laser is illegal, and will not be allowed past the extrality line. In this event, the weapon must be removed before the vehicle can proceed. Fortunately for Adifux, they have a competent Vargr engineer (Sir Dakhrongkae, OEG) who can dismantle the fusion gun and conceal its components behind panels in the cargo area (they even plug in!). Only an extremely close inspection and scan of the vehicle will reveal the weapon when it is hidden in this way. However, it takes at least half a day to reassemble, reattach and realign.
The Unresolved has only half the passenger capacity of the original and costs three times as much, but the owners believe that the extra performance and on-board equipment more than compensate!
