The ship has an agility rating of 3 and an emergency agility of 4. The internal fuel tankage is sufficient for two consecutive Jump-2s and gives the [[power plant]] 4 weeks duration.
* The engineering section has a main control room.
* The jump drive utilizes a lanthanum hull grid.
* The jump drive is fitted with a [[jump governor]].
|-
| 4.
| [[Ship's Computer|Electronics]]
| Adjacent to the bridge is a Model/5 [[computer]]: no backup computer is installed.
* There are multiple workstations and control points throughout the vessel.
* The vessel is fitted with communications equipment, a standard sensor array, and has an avionics suite.
** It is fitted with backup commo and sensor systems.

|-
| 10.
| [[Imperial Currency|Cost]]
| The basic cost of the vessel is [[MCr]]335.084
* Architects Fee: [[MCr]]3.351
|-
| 11.
| [[Naval Architecture|Construction Time]]
