CloseEscort7bCloseEscort7

The Gazelle-class close escort is built using a 400-ton hull with an unstreamlined configuration. It is fitted with an IDC FarDrive jump unit, Model 16 impulse maneuver drives, and a Triptic Halonic Fusion Pair power plant, and is capable of Jump 5 and 5Gs maneuver. It carries fuel tankage for one jump-2 and three months of operations. To this basic package is added a pair of disposable 60-ton fuel pods to provide the total fuel necessary for jump-5. However, with these tanks installed, the ship tonnage is increased to 500 tons, which reduces the ship’s performance to 4-G and jump-4. The tanks may be dropped to allow the higher performance, but the ship then becomes restricted by its lower fuel supply until the tanks are replaced. The ship has fuel scoops and a purification plant, and can refuel by skimming gas giants.

The standard bridge has a Model/6 computer installed and the ship has four hardpoints. Two of the hardpoints allocate five tons each, which allows the installation of particle accelerator barbettes if desired. The remaining two hardpoints sport triple laser turrets. The ship hull is heavily armored. 

The ship has four officer staterooms, eight spacer niches, and a squad barracks. A 20-ton gig, itself armed with a laser mount, is slung beneath the ship, with interlocking hatches provided. The gig is capable of 6-G and carries six acceleration couches and three emergency low berths. It can also carry two tons of cargo.

Starship – 200ton Far Trader

 :HEADER Far Trader Empress Marava A2-BS12, TL 11, 200 tons, MCr 53.8
 
 :COMMENTS

Using a 200-ton TL 11 streamlined hull, the far trader ranges far and wide, and deals with every world it finds. Even amber zones and red zones are not considered off limits by its captains, provided there is profit to be made and the risk of being caught is slight. It has drives capable of jump-2 and 1-G acceleration. Fuel tankage supports jump-2 and one month of operation, and the ship incorporates fuel scoops and fuel intakes for wilderness refuelling. The bridge is standard and has a computer Model/1bis and a basic sensor suite. There are two hardpoints, but no weapons are mounted.

Like the free trader, the far trader is built around its cargo bay, in this case 64 tons. The ship has ten staterooms (three for the crew; seven for the passengers) and four low berths. A single air/raft is carried (in cargo) for various surface duties. The ship is streamlined, and can land on uneven terrain. The far trader requires a crew of three: pilot/astrogator, engineer, and steward.

Starship – 100ton X-Boat and Variant

 Standard 100ton Jump-4 X-Boat

:HEADER Express Courier Express Boat X-AU04, TL 13, 100 tons, MCr 54.3

 
 :COMMENTS

Constructed using the 100 ton hull, the express boat is fitted with drives producing jump-4, but no maneuver drive. Fuel tankage is sufficient for one jump. The cramped bridge is complemented by a Model/4 computer. 

The ship has two staterooms; one is necessary for the single crew member, while the other can carry a passenger. More often, the pilot uses the second room for additional living space. 

There is a one ton cargo bay which is occasionally used to carry vital cargo such as vaccines or sophisticated repair parts.

The ship carries no weapons or hardpoints.

It is equipped with Jump drive-B and a Modified Power Plant-C, and carries sufficient fuel for one Jump-4, and 1 month of operations. Note that the ship when in Jump space can effectivly operate in low power mode thanks to the minimal systems needs and Fusion+ distributed power system. 

Transfer pumps enable double jumps via detachable drop tanks, which the X-boat service produces in a ’standard‘ 100 ton size to enable quick refueling and jump procedures for the normal X-boat fleet if the tender itself is too busy to dock with the X-boat.

The extremely advanced surface communicator is used to tight-beam sensitive encrypted communications to pre-set system ‚listening posts‘ bypassing the need to pass these messages through the X-boat tender crews.

Intelligence Courier Variant

 :HEADER Alternate Courier Disguised High Performance Express Boat X2-AU06, TL 15, 100 tons, MCr 66.2
 
 :COMMENTS

The XQ-Boat is externally identical to the much more common Jump-4 X-Boat, but is used by the clandestine intelligence services of the Third Imperium to deliver critical messages as fast as possible, often bypassing nodes along a jump route. The existence of such ships is not public knowledge.

Cramped and uncomfortable, the 100 ton unstreamlined ship is operated by a single crewman from the bridge which is located essentially within the engine room. Adjacent to the bridge is a computer model 5/bis. Life support is sufficient for 40 person-days. A second niche accommodates a non-standard passenger. If physical cargo must be moved it will be stowed in the crew lounge.

The ship carries no weapons or hardpoints.

It is equipped with Jump Drive-C and a Modified Power Plant-C, and carries sufficient fuel for one Jump-6, and 15 days of operations. Note that the ship when in Jump space can effectively operate in low power mode thanks to the minimal systems needs and Fusion+ distributed power system. 

Transfer pumps enable double jumps via detachable drop tanks, which the X-boat service produces in a ’standard‘ 100 ton size ‚To enable quick refueling and jump procedures for the normal X-boat fleet if the tender itself is too busy to dock with the X-boat‘. The advanced surface communicator is used to tight-beam sensitive encrypted communications to pre-set system ‚listening posts‘ bypassing the need to pass these messages through the X-boat tender crews.

Starship – 200ton Yacht

 :HEADER Yacht Yacht Y-BB11, TL 9, 200 tons, MCr 72.1
 
 :COMMENTS

Based on a braced 200t hull, the basic Type Y Yacht is a noble’s plaything; not a particularly efficient vessel, but plush and comfortable. It comes in a wide variety of styles. It has jump drive-A, maneuver drive-A, and power plant-A, with fuel for one jump-1, three weeks‘ operation, plus tankage for refuelling the ship’s boat. Attached to the bridge is a computer Model/1. An orbit-to-orbit ship, the yacht carries a ship’s boat as a link to planets visited. The ship also carries an air/raft and an ATV. The ship’s boat has passenger accomodations and space for cargo or the ATV. Cargo capacity is typically 11 to 13 tons. There is one hardpoint, often with a high-powered Communicator in a deployable turret.

Though the owner’s suite is oversized, the guest rooms are not overly large, but they are quite luxurious. Crew space includes the galley and crew lounge, a dumb waiter-life arrangement that leads up to the passenger lounge, engineering, and storage for cargo and the ship’s vehicles.

The Type Y requires a crew of four: pilot/astrogator, engineer, medic, and steward. It carries 10 passengers (including the owner). Yachts are often excellent sources of employment for adventurers with star-faring experience. Paid professional crews are sometimes hard to come by; many nobles hardly ever use their vessels, but need a full-time crew to care for the ship, and to transfer it from one world to another (particularly when the noble has several far-flung estates). Notable yacht designs include the MC&S Engineering Model Y, and PEL Yards‘ „Lady of Shallott“. The PEL Yards variant repurposes one stateroom to additional luxuries.

Starship – 800ton Mercenary Cruiser

 :HEADER Mercenary Cruiser Broadsword CM-HU33, TL 13, 800 tons, MCr 303.8
 
 :COMMENTS

Using an 800-ton hull, the mercenary cruiser is built to carry small troop units for corporate or government operations. It has jump drive-M, maneuver drive-M, and power plant-M, giving jump 3 and 3-G acceleration. Fuel tankage supports one jump-3, and three months of operations, some of which may be used for its smallcraft. Adjacent to the bridge is a computer Model/5. There are 25 staterooms and no low berths. Eight weapon mounts are installed, two with beam lasers, four with missile launchers, and two with particle accelerator barbettes. There are five ship’s vehicles: two modular cutters (with one open module and one fuel module), two ATVs (in ATV modules), and one air/raft. Cargo capacity is 85 tons, 60 tons of which are taken up by the two ATV cutter modules. The hull is unstreamlined.

The mercenary cruiser requires a crew of eight: commanding officer, pilot, navigator, four engineers, and medic. Vehicle pilots, clerks, troops, and gunners may be added. The ship can carry 17 passengers (42 if double occupancy) in non-commercial service; its primary intended purpose is transport and support of small military (mercenary) units.
