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 Ship's Boat is constructed using a 40 dTon hull built in a generally cone-shaped configuration. The hull is fully streamlined and has airfoil surfaces, giving improved atmospheric performance.
|
2. | Crew | Total Crew Complement: 1
Accommodations There is 1 small stateroom. This serves as an office, galley or medical bay as necessary and contains a small fresher. There are x50 passenger acceleration couches. Accessible areas of the hull are fitted with grav plates and inertial compensators. The vessel has full life support and environmental systems.
|
3. | Performance | The vessel mounts a Maneuver-4 drive and a Power Plant-4, giving performance of 4-G acceleration and producing 1.6 Energy Points. The ship has an agility rating of 4. The internal fuel tankage is sufficient to give the power plant approximately 3 weeks duration.
|
4. | Electronics | The cockpit contains an acceleration couch and control equipment. The vessel is fitted with a Model/1 computer: no backup computer is installed.
