The Executive Yacht is a small commercial vessel.
Description / Specifications
The Executive Yacht is a private vessel occasionally encountered within the Distant Fringe. It is classified as a Non-Commercial Ship and is constructed as a conventional design. Similar designs have been in use from the time the Distant Fringe was first settled.
- The vessel is a TL 11 design.
Hull
The Executive Yacht is constructed using a 200-dTon hull built in a generally wedge-shaped configuration. The hull is fully streamlined: the ship has no facilities for frontier refuelling.
- Individual sections of the ship are divided by bulkhead walls. Sections of the ship can be isolated in the event of an emergency.
- The hull includes internal grav plates and inertial compensators. All accessible sections of the hull have life support.
Engineering
The vessel mounts a DeVoss-type jump-2 drive, a maneuver-4 drive, and a power plant 4, giving performance of jump-2 and 4G acceleration. The ship has an agility rating of 2 and an emergency agility of 4. There is fuel tankage of 48 dTons, sufficient for one jump-2 and giving the power plant four weeks duration.
- The jump drive utilises a lanthanum hull grid.
- The jump drive is fitted with a jump governor.
Main Section
Adjacent to the bridge is a computer model/3. There are 14x staterooms. Double occupancy accommodations are required for all crew except the captain. 8 staterooms are available to paying passengers: 2x staterooms serve as a large communal area. Cargo capacity amounts to 6 dTons.
- The vessel is fitted with sophisticated communications equipment and an advanced sensor suite.
Crew
The Executive Yacht requires 7 crew: 2x command, 1x engineering, 2x gunnery, 1x service and 1x steward – one member of the crew serves as the pilot for the Gig when required.
Weapons
The ship is fitted with two turrets:
- one triple turret mounting beam lasers
- one triple turret mounting missile racks
Subcraft
The ship carries a 10 dTon Gig in a dedicated hanger.
Cost
The basic cost of the vessel, complete with a Gig, is MCr168.462.
- Both craft are standard designs. Detailed architectural plans are widely available and no design fee is chargeable.
- If multiple examples of the design are ordered all of the ships in the production run qualify for a 20% discount, which reduces their price to MCr134.770.
History / Background
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.
