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]]. [[Ton]]nage on the [[universal ship profile]] is shown in [[kiloton]]s (thousands of tons) when necessary. {{Page cite|name= Fighting Ships |page= 10 |version= Classic Traveller}}

| 1.
 
| [[Ton|Tonnage]]
 
| The Ship's Boat is constructed using a 40 [[Ton|dTon]] [[hull]] built in a generally [[Cone Hull|cone-shaped]] configuration. The [[hull]] is fully [[Streamlined Hull|streamlined]] and has airfoil surfaces, giving improved [[Atmosphere|atmospheric]] performance.
 
* Individual sections of the ship are divided by [[Bulkhead Wall|bulkhead wall]]s.
 
* The vessel has an [[airlock]].
 
* The vessel has a sturdy [[Landing Gear|retractable landing legs]], allowing surface landings.
 
|-
 
| 2.
 
| [[Crew]]
 
| Total Crew Complement: 1
 
* x1 pilot. If the vessel is carried as a [[subcraft]], this individual serves as service crew aboard the parent vessel when not required for piloting duties.
 
 
 
''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 [[Middle Passage|passenger]] [[acceleration couch]]es.
 
 
 
Accessible areas of the [[hull]] are fitted with [[grav plate]]s and [[inertial compensator]]s. The vessel has full [[Life Support|life support]] and environmental systems.
 
* 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 small [[emergency locker]]s, built into the structure of the [[acceleration couch|couches]].
 
|-
 
| 3.
 
| [[Maneuver Drive|Performance]]
 
| The vessel mounts a [[Maneuver Drive|Maneuver]]-4 drive and a [[Power Plant]]-4, giving performance of 4-G acceleration and producing 1.6 [[Energy Point]]s. The ship has an agility rating of 4. The internal [[Fuel Tank|fuel tankage]] is sufficient to give the [[power plant]] approximately 3 [[week]]s duration.
 
* The engineering section is controlled from the cockpit. Access to the machinery can be gained via a sealable hatch.
 
|-
 
| 4.
 
| [[Ship's Computer|Electronics]]
 
| The cockpit contains an [[acceleration couch]] and [[Control Panel|control equipment]]. The vessel is fitted with a [[Model/1]] [[computer]]: no backup computer is installed.
 
* The vessel is fitted with [[Communications Equipment#Shipboard Communications|communications equipment]], a standard [[Ship Sensor Suite|sensor array]], and has an [[Avionics]] suite.
 
* It has a [[transponder]] unit that can be deactivated on command.

| [[Ship's Hardpoint|Hardpoints]]
 
| x1 [[hardpoint]].

| [[Ship's Weapon|Armament]]
 
| The Ship's Boat is generally unarmed.
 
|-
 
| 7.
 
| [[Ship's Defense|Defenses]]
 
| The [[hull]] is [[Heavy Armor|unarmored]].
 
* x1 triple [[Sandcaster]] [[turret]], forming its own battery.

| [[Smallcraft|Craft]]
 
| The vessel carries no [[subcraft]].
 
|-
 
| 9.
 
| [[Fuel Purification Plant|Fuel Treatment]]
 
| The vessel has internal [[Fuel Tank|fuel tankage]] of 1.3 [[Ton|dTon]]s.
 
* The [[hull]] is fitted with [[fuel scoop]]s.
 
* The vessel is not equipped with [[fuel purification]] equipment.
 
|-
 
| 10.
 
| [[Imperial Currency|Cost]]
 
| The basic cost of the vessel is [[MCr]]26.275.
 
* The ship is a standard design. 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 the price of each unit to [[MCr]]21.020.
 
|-
 
| 11.
 
| [[Naval Architecture|Construction Time]]
 
| 24 [[week]]s (5.5 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
 
| If the passenger [[acceleration couch|couches]] are removed the craft has a [[Cargo Hold|cargo capacity]] of up to 25 [[Ton|dTon]]s.
