The Quick Ship Profile ([[QSP]]) is a short coded description of the mission and capabilities of the ship. The QSP may be enhanced with the Crew Extension (...detailing the various [[crew]] members for the ship) and the Vehicle Extension (...detailing the [[vehicle]]s and [[small craft]] carried by the ship). {{Page cite|name= T5 Core Rules |page= 314}}

=== Quick Ship Profile Codes ===
+
The [[tonnage]] code scheme distinguishes ships short of 6,000,000 tons.  It could be extended further, but the [[naval architect]]s who drafted the extension (the original one-digit version stopped at 2,400 tons) knew of few ships at or over 1,000,000 tons, let alone 6,000,000 tons.  Just in case, the specifications say the number of digits flag the extension: AB-0S12 means hull code 0 (0 tons, smaller than a [[smallcraft]]), while AB-0SS12 means hull code 0S (800,000-899,999.9 tons).

The QSP AKA Quick Ship Profile is a quick reference ship description used by most Imperial agencies and a number of non-Imperials as well. [1]

    • Description (Specifications)

    The Quick Ship Profile (QSP) is a short coded description of the mission and capabilities of the ship. The QSP may be enhanced with the Crew Extension (...detailing the various crew members for the ship) and the Vehicle Extension (...detailing the vehicles and small craft carried by the ship). [2]

    Quick Ship Profile Overview

    A2 - B S 2 1 A basic QSP.
    Type A2 class Far Trader (no information, just a separator) 200 tons Streamlined Hull Maneuver Drive-2 Jump Drive-1 The ubiquitous Far Trader, or any ship with the same hull configuration, mission code, movement, size.
    VA - 0K U 2 4 A QSP with an extra digit for a high tonnage ship.
    Type VA Heavy Carrier (no information, just a separator) 100,000 tons Unstreamlined Hull Maneuver Drive-2 Jump Drive-4 The Antiama class Fleet Carrier, or any ship with the same hull configuration, mission code, movement, size.

    Quick Ship Profile Parameters

    The final ship design is abbreviated into an easily understood expression, the Quick Ship Profile:

    The tonnage code scheme distinguishes ships short of 6,000,000 tons. It could be extended further, but the naval architects who drafted the extension (the original one-digit version stopped at 2,400 tons) knew of few ships at or over 1,000,000 tons, let alone 6,000,000 tons. Just in case, the specifications say the number of digits flag the extension: AB-0S12 means hull code 0 (0 tons, smaller than a smallcraft), while AB-0SS12 means hull code 0S (800,000-899,999.9 tons).

    History & Background (Dossier)

    The QSP provides a basic identification of the performance capabilities of a ship. The QSP can be expanded with two extensions: [5]

    1. The VX Vehicle Extension, and…
      1. The Vehicle Extension Vx is a variable length string recounting the vehicles and small craft carried by the ship.
    2. The CX Crew Extension.
      1. The Crew Extension. The Crew Extension Cx is a variable length string detailing the crew members for the ship.
