The Heavy Lander is designed to ferry cargo and fuel between a [[world]]'s surface and close orbit. It is a common in-system transport vessel within the [[Distant Fringe]] and is occasionally carried as a [[subcraft]] aboard large commercial vessels. Similar designs have been in use from the time the [[Distant Fringe]] was first settled.
 
* The vessel is a [[TL-9]] 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) where necessary. {{Page cite|name= Fighting Ships |page= 10 |version= Classic Traveller}}

| 1.
 
| [[Ton|Tonnage]]
 
| The Heavy Lander is constructed using a 1,200 [[Ton|dTon]] [[hull]] built in a generally [[Conical Hull|cone]]-shaped configuration. The [[hull]] is fully [[Streamlined Hull|streamlined]], giving good [[Atmosphere|atmospheric]] performance that is further enhanced by its onboard [[Gravity Control Technology|gravitic]] systems.
 
* Individual sections of the ship are divided by [[Bulkhead Wall|bulkhead wall]]s.
 
* There are multiple [[airlock]]s located around the vessel. The [[cargo hold]] is accessed by doors and has a loading ramp.
 
* The vessel has sturdy [[Landing Gear|retractable legs]], allowing surface landings.
 
|-
 
 
 
| 2.
 
| [[Crew]]
 
| 16 personnel.
 
* x5 command, x2 engineering, x3 gunnery, and x6 service. If the Lander is carried as a subcraft, the crew also serve as service and maintenance personnel aboard the parent vessel.
 
 
 
''Accommodations''
 
 
 
There are 15 [[Stateroom]]s.
 
* 11 [[Stateroom]]s are given over to the crew. The command crew have individual cabins: all other crew quarters are double occupancy.
 
* 4 [[Stateroom]]s are available to paying [[Middle Passage|passengers]]: the vessel carries no stewards.
 
 
 
There are 20 [[Cold sleep#Low berth|Low Berth]]s.
 
  
Accessible areas of the [[hull]] are fitted with [[grav plate]]s and [[inertial compensator]]s and have full [[Life Support|life support]] and environmental systems.
+
=== Selected Example Ships ===
* The vessel has a secure locker with a capacity of 3 [[Ton|dTon]]s.
+
* [[Colossus class Heavy Lander|''Colossus'' class Heavy Lander]]
* There are internal monitoring and security systems throughout the vessel. Sections of the ship can be isolated in the event of an emergency.
 
* There are multiple [[Emergency Locker]]s.
 
|-
 
| 3.
 
| [[Maneuver Drive|Performance]]
 
| The vessel mounts a [[Maneuver Drive|Maneuver]]-2 drive and a [[Power Plant]]-2, giving performance of 2-G acceleration and producing 24 [[Energy Point]]s. The ship has an agility rating of 2. The internal fuel tankage gives the [[power plant]] 4 weeks duration.
 
* The engineering section has a main control room.
 
** Ladders, gantries and platforms give access to the machinery.
 
|-
 
| 4.
 
| [[Ship's Computer|Electronics]]
 
| Adjacent to the bridge is a [[Model/2]] [[computer]]: the vessel has a backup [[Model/2]] [[computer]].
 
* There are multiple [[workstation]]s and [[Control Panel|control points]] throughout the vessel.
 
* The vessel is fitted with [[Communications_Equipment#Shipboard_Communications|communications equipment]], a standard [[Ship Sensor Suite|sensor array]], and has an [[Avionics|avionics suite]].
 
** It is fitted with backup commo and sensor systems.
 
* It has a [[transponder]] unit that can be deactivated on command.

| 5.
 
| [[Ship's Hardpoint|Hardpoints]]
 
| x10 [[hardpoint]]s.
 
* There are 2 unused [[hardpoint]]s and 2 [[Ton|dTon]]s of space is set aside for fire control.
 
|-
 
| 6.
 
| [[Ship's Weapon|Armament]]
 
| The Heavy Lander is generally unarmed.
 
|-
 
| 7.
 
| [[Ship's Defense|Defenses]]
 
| The [[hull]] is [[Heavy Armor|unarmored]].
 
* x10 triple [[Sandcaster]] [[turret]]s, grouped into one battery each of 10 linked [[turret]]s
 
|-
 
| 8.
 
| [[Smallcraft|Craft]]
 
| The vessel carries no [[subcraft]].
 
|-
 
| 9.
 
| [[Fuel Purification Plant|Fuel Treatment]]
 
| The vessel has internal fuel tankage of 240 [[Ton|dTon]]s.
 
* The hull is fitted with [[fuel scoop]]s.
 
* The vessel is equipped with [[fuel purification]] equipment.
 
* The ship carries a collapsible fuel tank with a capacity of 900 [[Ton|dTon]]s and a stowed volume of 45 [[Ton|dTon]]s.
 
|-
 
| 10.
 
| [[Imperial Currency|Cost]]
 
| The basic cost of the vessel is [[MCr]]425.113.
 
* If multiple examples of the design are ordered all of the ships in the production run qualify for a 20% discount, which reduces the price per unit to [[MCr]]340.091.
 
* The vessel is a standard design. Detailed architectural plans are widely available and no design fee is chargeable.
 
|-
 
| 11.
 
| [[Naval Architecture|Construction Time]]
 
| 125 [[week]]s (31 months) as standard.
 
* Build times can be reduced by mass production and the efficiencies such processes generate, by increased financing, and by allotting additional yard resources and facilities to the construction contract.
 
|-
 
| 12.
 
| Comments
 
| Standard cargo capacity amounts to 900 [[Ton|dTon]]s.
 
* The [[cargo hold]] can be sealed and has independent [[Life Support|life support]] and environmental systems.
 
* Sections of the [[cargo Hold|hold]] may be isolated if desired and can be provided with specialized environmental conditions.

== History & Background ([[Dossier]]) ==
 
== History & Background ([[Dossier]]) ==
A large interface craft primarily designed to shuttle fuel, cargo and sundries between a worlds surface and close orbit. It is frequently used as an in-system transport, carrying equipment and supplies to secondary worlds within a [[system]]. The design is representative and a large number of variants exist, particularly with regard to the allotted [[Starship Weapon|weapons systems]], onboard [[electronics]], and the fit out of internal spaces.
