The [[Distant Fringe]] is said to be a far [[spinward]]-[[rimward]] area inhabited by colonists and refugees originating on [[Terra (world)|Terra]]. The region is extremely isolated, separated from the rest of [[Charted Space]] by vast, almost uncrossable [[rift]]s that were once broached by a system of [[calibration Point]]s and the use of [[tanker]]s. Those few academics within [[Charted Space]] who have found references to the [[Distant Fringe]] regard it as little more than a tall tale. Likewise, many of the inhabitants of the [[Distant Fringe]] believe the existence of [[Charted Space]] to be mythical.{{Unpublished cite|author= [[Maksim-Smelchak]] }}

[[Vessel]]s originating within the [[Distant Fringe]] are very rarely encountered outside of the region. However, [[misjump]]s do occur and [[Astrographic Phenomenon|anomalies]] with bizarre [[spacetime]] and [[Jumpspace]] effects exist: as such, [[Vessel|craft]] of this type are not entirely unknown within [[Charted Space]].{{Unpublished cite|author= [[Maksim-Smelchak]] }}

The Marrel Veckor class Lifeboat is a TL–9 noncombatant smallcraft with a utility role.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

The Marrel Vektor class is designed to transport passengers in a variety of circumstances. Similar designs have been in use from the time the Distant Fringe was first settled. The design is officially designated as a Lifeboat but also serves as a general utility craft.

Image Repository[edit]

  1. A small, sleek Marrel Veckor class Lifeboat, popular with the Distant Fringe.
    J-0 20dT Lifeboat Pinnace.jpg

Basic Ship Characteristics[edit]

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 subcraft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (...thousands of tons) where necessary. [1]

Basic Ship Characteristics [2]
No. Category Remarks
1. Tonnage / Hull The Marrel Vektor is constructed using a 20 dTon hull built in a generally cone-shaped configuration. The hull is fully streamlined and has airfoil surfaces, giving improved atmospheric performance that is further enhanced by its onboard gravitic systems.
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

Accessible areas of the hull are fitted with grav plates and inertial compensators. The vessel has full 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 lockers, built into the structure of the couches.
3. Performance The vessel mounts a Maneuver-2 drive and a Power Plant-2, giving performance of 2-G acceleration and producing 0.4 Energy Points. The ship has an agility rating of 2. The internal fuel tankage is sufficient to give the power plant approximately 13 weeks duration.
  • The engineering section is controlled from the cockpit. Access to the machinery can be gained via a sealable hatch.
4. Electronics The cockpit contains x2 acceleration couches and control equipment. The vessel is fitted with a Model/1 Computer flt: no backup computer is installed.
5. Hardpoints x1 hardpoint.
6. Armament The Marrel Veckor class is generally unarmed.
7. Defenses The hull is unarmored.

x1 triple Sandcaster turret, forming its own battery.

The vessel is not fitted with screens or other passive defensive systems.

8. Craft The vessel carries no subcraft.
9. Fuel Treatment The vessel has internal fuel tankage of 1.3 dTon.
10. Cost The basic cost of the vessel is MCr9.700.
  • 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 MCr7.760.
11. Construction Time 24 weeks (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 Cargo capacity amounts to 5.5 dTons.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

An ubiquitous design used throughout the Distant Fringe, the Marrel Vektor class is durable and reliable. Its small size makes it a popular subcraft for smaller starships. 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.
