The Maggart class Clipper is a TL–12 Clipper or Battle Tender.

Description

The Maggart-class ship are improved Auroras, modified with improved equipment and lengthened to provide greater module carriage and increased range performance from the spinal weapon.

The Maggarts have a nominal power shortfall of 30.139MW. However, in practice, this is not an issue as clippers do not operate without modules. Many of the attached modules contain their own power plants which provide excess power back to the which collectively more than make up for the shortfall. However, in the rare event that the clipper operates on only internal power, the shortfall is taken from the Meson Gun, reducing its performance.

The jump performance depends on the number of modules installed. It has jump-2 at 2063-2750 tons, jump-3 at 1651-2062.5 tons, jump-4 at 1376-1650 tons, and jump-5 at 1375 or lower. (Fuel used per jump varies with displacement and jump distance, but is always 412.5 tons for maximum jump at current displacement).
