Babylon 5 Hidden Cargo Compartment

Hidden Cargo Compartment
Cost: 800 credits per compartment
Description: There are many spaceships on the spacelanes that are being used for smuggling. It is a very profitable business and people are forever being recruited, willingly or not into it. One of the oldest tricks in the business is to hollow out a bulkhead or old fusion casing, mark it as nondescript as possible and fill it with precious contraband.

This add-on gives the ship the Hidden Cargo Compartment special quality. A hidden cargo compartment conceals 10 metric tons of cargo space. The Difficulty to detect this cargo space or the cargo within it, whether through using sensors or simply searching for it, is increased by +10.

A ship can have more than one hidden cargo compartment, but each compartment after the first reduces the concealment bonus by one point. Therefore a ship with two hidden cargo compartments only increases the detection Difficulty by +9, while a ship with four hidden cargo compartments only increases the detection Difficulty by +7.
