Ortillery Monitors

Posit: We want fast reaction time from our ortillery.
Solution: Get low and slow - powered orbit control - get down to 400
miles.
Assumptions:
1) Previous elimination of all known defences
2) ECM and fighter cover to help suppress any new ones that crop up
Design:
1) Should have thrust 4 and full streamlining or thrust 6 and partial as
you will be inside what I'd call the atmospheric envelope at the
appropriately low level.
2) Should have a tough hull and armour.
3) Should be a dedicated vessel - and not overlarge for the task.
Risking it by bringing it into firing range means you don't want to lose
too many crew if it gets smoked (same argument for landers that hold no
more than a company).
