Basic Ship Characteristics

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 craft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (thousands of tons) where necessary.

Basic Ship Characteristics

No.	Category	Remarks
1.	Tonnage	The Xuesen class is constructed using a 3,300 Ton hull built in a Close Structure configuration. The hull is partially streamlined, giving a relatively limited atmospheric performance that is reliant on its onboard gravitic systems. There are 11 airlocks located around the vessel. The cargo hold is accessed by large doors and has a loading ramp. The vessel has sturdy retractable legs, allowing surface landings.
2.	Crew	245 personnel, including 188 Marines. 6 Officers, plus 5 Marine Officers 51 Enlisted There are 125.5 Staterooms. All personnel have double occupancy quarters. Accessible areas of the hull are fitted with grav plates and inertial compensators and have full life support and environmental systems. There are internal monitoring and security systems throughout the vessel. Individual sections of the hull can be sealed off. There are multiple emergency lockers.
3.	Performance	The vessel mounts a Jump-2 drive, a Maneuver-6 drive, and a Power Plant-6, giving performance of Jump-2 and 6-G acceleration. The ship has an agility rating of 2 and an emergency agility of 6. The internal fuel tankage is sufficient for one Jump-2 and gives the power plant 4 weeks duration. The engineering section has a main control room. Ladders, gantries and platforms give access to the machinery. The jump drive utilizes a lanthanum hull grid. The jump drive is fitted with a jump governor.
4.	Electronics	Adjacent to the bridge is a computer model/5fib: the vessel has a backup computer model/5fib. There are multiple workstations and control points throughout the vessel. The vessel is fitted with communications equipment, an advanced sensor array, and has an avionics suite. It is fitted with backup commo and sensor systems. It has a transponder unit that can be deactivated on command. It is equipped with a sophisticated ECM package.
5.	Hardpoints	33 hardpoints. The listed battery groupings are standard configurations for the class. Alternative battery groupings may be designated for specific missions.
6.	Armament	The normal weapons fit-out for an Xuesen class is: x2 100-Ton bays, mounting Particle Accelerators. x1 100-Ton bay, mounting a Heavy Missile Launcher. x1 triple beam laser turrets, firing as three batteries, each laser forming its own battery. x1 dual plasma gun turrets, each plasma cannon forming its own battery.
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	Flight Section x4 40-Ton Dropships with three crew each. The Dropships are housed in dedicated hangers: the hangers are sealable compartments with a total volume of 156 Tons. Drop Capsules There are 20 Drop Capsule tubes and their associated loading equipment. There is dedicated holding space containing an additional 168 Drop Capsules.
9.	Fuel Treatment	The vessel has internal fuel tankage of 858 Tons. The hull is fitted with fuel scoops. The vessel is equipped with a fuel purification plant that can refine all onboard fuel in a few hours: the plant is operated and maintained by the engineering crew.
10.	Cost	The basic cost of the vessel is MCr2,975.61 Architects Fee: MCr29.756
11.	Construction Time	136 weeks (31 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	Standard cargo capacity amounts to 5 Tons. The cargo hold can be sealed and has independent life support and environmental systems.
