    • Description (Specifications)[edit]

    Most System Defense Boats (SDB's) range in size from 100 to 10,000 tons and are constructed at all tech levels from TL-7 to 15.

    Strategy & Tactics (Doctrine)[edit]

    SDBs most often operate according to predetermined plans designed to optimize their defensive potential. SDBs are typically stationed at the vital points of a system including gas giants, asteroid belts, major worlds, and so on. Because SDBs usually have no jump drives, shifting them from system to system can be a problem. Some types have jump shuttles which fit to the craft and provide jump capability. Another method is simple transport in large bulk cargo containers; the SDBs are loaded into 10,000-ton or 20,000-ton bulk carriers for the multi-parsec journey. This method, of course, is not recommended if immediate combat is expected at the destination.

    Supraclass Roles[edit]

    SDBs typically serve the following roles:
    Largecraft, Smallcraft & Bigcraft:

    HSL-class System Defense Boat Supraclass Archetypes
    Archetype Type Code
    Defenders (HS)
    Defensive Ship (HS)
    Gunboats (EG)
    Heavy System Defense Boat (HSH)
    Light System Defense Boat (HSL)
    Medium System Defense Boat (HSM)
    Missile Boats (HS)
    Superheavy System Defense Boat (HSS)
    System Defense Boat (HS) (Namesake)
    System Missile Defense Boat (HS)
    System Defense Craft (HS)
    System Defense Ship (HS)
    Ultraheavy System Defense Boat (HSU)
    Very Light System Defense Boat (HSVL)

    Size-Class Roles for System Defense Boats[edit]

    1. Utility Craft (U) (1 to 99 tons)
    2. Very Light System Defense Boat (HSVL) (100 to 2,499 tons)
    3. Light System Defense Boat (HSL) (2,500 to 99,999 tons)
    4. Medium System Defense Boat (HSM) (100,000 to 249,999 tons)
    5. Heavy System Defense Boat (HSH) (250,000 to 499,999 tons)
    6. Superheavy System Defense Boat (HSS) (500,000 to 999,999 tons)
    7. Ultraheavy System Defense Boat (HSU) (1,000,000 or more tons)

    Military Subcraft[edit]

    Military subcraft (...both smallcraft and bigcraft) are carried by some of these vessels:

    1. Battle Rider (BR)
    2. Combat Barge (WBG)
    3. Combat Transport Smallcraft (UI)
    4. Fighters (F)
    5. Militarized Utility Craft (UQ)

    Supraclass Archetypes[edit]

    There are hundreds of different types, depending upon the specific mission for which they are designed.

    System Defense Boat Supraclass Archetypes
    Archetype Type Code Exemplar Remarks
    System Defense Boat HS Flash class System Defense Boat None.
    • H = Defender / Security
    • S = Security
    Heavy System Defense Boat HSH None None. (250,000 to 499,999 tons)
    • H = Heavy
    Light System Defense Boat HSL Purvaine class System Defense Boat None. (2,500 to 99,999 tons)
    • L = Light
    Medium System Defense Boat HSM None None. (100,000 to 249,999 tons)
    • M = Medium
    Superheavy System Defense Boat HSS None None. (500,000 to 999,999 tons)
    • S = Superheavy
    Ultraheavy System Defense Boat HSU None None. (1,000,000 or more tons)
    • U = Ultraheavy
    Very Light System Defense Boat HSVL Dragon class System Defense Boat None. (100 to 2,499 tons)
    • V = Very Light, Escort, etc.

    History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

    SDB's were developed on the principle that a non-starship, because of the additional armament made possible by its lack of jump drives, can ordinarily defeat a jump-capable starship of equal tonnage.

    Selected Variant Types & Classes[edit]

    Paramilitary Vessel - Defensive Vessel - System Defense Boat:
    Type HSB class System Defense Boat AKA Type SB class System Defense Boat
