The Cargo Barge is a mercantile spacecraft.
- It is a Civilian Ship and a Transport.
- Please also see: Ships of the Distant Fringe.
Description (Specifications)
This is a generic class of civilian vessel.
The Cargo Barge is a low-tech vessel designed to ferry cargo and passengers between locations. It is classified as a Bulk Cargo Carrier. Similar designs have been in use from the time the Distant Fringe was first settled.
- The vessel is a TL-7 design.

Basic Ship Characteristics
Following the Imperial Navy and IISS Universal Ship Profile and data, additional information is presented in the format shown here. The small craft factor indicates the number of squadrons (of ten craft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (thousands of tons) when necessary. [1]
Basic Ship Characteristics [2] | ||
---|---|---|
No. | Category | Remarks |
1. | Tonnage | The Cargo Barge is constructed using a 3,000 dTon hull built in a generally cone-shaped configuration. The hull is fully streamlined and has limited airfoil surfaces, giving acceptable atmospheric performance.
|
2. | Crew | Total Crew Complement: 28
Accommodations There are 34 staterooms.
There are 40 Low Berths. The ship does not have grav plates or inertial compensators: the interior of the ship is set up for zero-gee activity. The vessel has full life support and environmental systems.
|
3. | Performance | The vessel mounts an extremely efficient reaction-based Maneuver-2 drive and a Fission Power Plant-2, giving performance of 2-G acceleration and producing 60 Energy Points. The ship has an agility rating of 2. The internal fuel supply provides reaction mass for the Maneuver drive and is considered sufficient to support approximately 4 weeks of operations.
|
4. | Electronics | Adjacent to the bridge is a Model/2 computer: the vessel has a backup Model/2 computer.
|
5. | Hardpoints | x30 hardpoints. |
6. | Armament | The Cargo Barge is unarmed. |
7. | Defenses | The hull is unarmored.
|
8. | Craft | The vessel carries no subcraft. |
9. | Fuel Treatment | The vessel has an internal fuel tank containing 60 dTons of reaction mass for the Drives.
|
10. | Cost | The basic cost of the vessel is MCr1,264.700.
|
11. | Construction Time | 132 weeks (33 months) as standard.
|
12. | Comments | Cargo capacity amounts to 2,300 dTons. |
History & Background (Dossier)
The Cargo Barge is a low-tech design used for a variety of roles. The design is representative and a large number of variants exist, particularly with regard to the allotted weapons systems, onboard electronics, and the fit out of internal spaces.
- Cargo Barges are deployed by vessels such as the Civilian Ship Transporter.
Class Naming Practice/s & Peculiarities
Different examples of the design are known by many different names but all have very similar performance characteristics and capabilities.
