The Heavy Lander is a Transport spacecraft.
- It is a Civilian Ship and an Auxiliary.
- Please also see: Ships of the Distant Fringe.
Description (Specifications)
This is a generic class of civilian vessel.
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. [1]
No. | Category | Remarks |
---|---|---|
1. | Tonnage | The Heavy Lander is constructed using a 1,200 dTon hull built in a generally cone-shaped configuration. The hull is fully streamlined, giving good atmospheric performance that is further enhanced by its onboard gravitic systems.
|
2. | Crew | 16 personnel.
Accommodations There are 15 Staterooms.
There are 20 Low Berths. Accessible areas of the hull are fitted with grav plates and inertial compensators and have full life support and environmental systems.
|
3. | Performance | The vessel mounts a Maneuver-2 drive and a Power Plant-2, giving performance of 2-G acceleration and producing 24 Energy Points. The ship has an agility rating of 2. The internal fuel tankage gives the power plant 4 weeks duration.
|
4. | Electronics | Adjacent to the bridge is a Model/2 computer: the vessel has a backup Model/2 computer.
|
5. | Hardpoints | x10 hardpoints.
|
6. | Armament | The Heavy Lander is generally unarmed. |
7. | Defenses | The hull is unarmored.
|
8. | Craft | The vessel carries no subcraft. |
9. | Fuel Treatment | The vessel has internal fuel tankage of 240 dTons.
|
10. | Cost | The basic cost of the vessel is MCr425.113.
|
11. | Construction Time | 125 weeks (31 months) as standard.
|
12. | Comments | Standard cargo capacity amounts to 900 dTons.

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 weapons systems, onboard electronics, and the fit out of internal spaces.
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.
