Description (Specifications)
Using a 600-ton hull, the Vargr Dhaztuen-class is a large merchant vessel intended to carry passengers and freight to ports of convenience. It has jump drive-J, maneuver drive-D, and power plant-J, giving a performance of jump-3 and 1G acceleration. Fuel tankage of 210 tons supports the power plant and allows one jump-3. Adjacent to the bridge is a computer modell2bi.s. There are 36 staterooms and 10 low berths. The ship has six hardpoints and six tons allocated to fire control. Installed on the hardpoints are six single turrets: two single beam lasers, two single missile racks, and two single sandcasters. There is one ship's vehicle: a 95-ton shuttle. Cargo capacity is 33 tons (supplemented by 49 tons capacity in the shuttle, which generally travels loaded). The ship is unstreamlined.
The Vargr packet requires a crew of nine: pilot, navigator, three engineers, medic, and three stewards. Provision is made for three additional crew-gunners-with the stewards trained to fill the other gunnery positions. The ship can carry 24 high or middle passengers and 10 low passengers. The pilot and a steward/gunner crew the shuttle. The shuttle can carry 44 passengers and 49 tons of cargo. The Vargr packet costs MCr275.2452 (including architect's fees and 10% discount for standard ship design, but the price may vary) and takes 22 months to build.
