General Description

The Jeremey class was a small combat vessel with 2-G performance. It had a wedge-shaped profile and was fully streamlined, allowing atmospheric operations and enabling it to perform surface landings.

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 subcraft) 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 / Hull	The Jeremey class is constructed using a 20 dTon hull built in a generally wedge-shaped configuration. The hull is fully streamlined with limited airfoil surfaces, giving average atmospheric performance that is further enhanced by its onboard gravitic systems. Individual sections of the ship are divided by bulkhead walls. The vessel has an airlock. The vessel has a sturdy retractable landing legs, allowing surface landings.
2.	Crew	Total Crew Complement: 9 x1 Pilot, x8 Marines Accommodations The main compartment contains x8 passenger acceleration couches. The vessel is fitted with grav plates and inertial compensators and has full life support and environmental systems. There are internal monitoring and security systems within the vessel. There are x9 small emergency lockers, one located within the cockpit and eight built into the structures of the couches.
3.	Performance	The vessel mounts a Maneuver-2 drive and a Power Plant-2, giving performance of 2-G acceleration. The ship has an agility rating of 2. The internal fuel tankage is sufficient to give the power plant approximately 10 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 x1 acceleration couch and control equipment. The vessel is fitted with a Model/1 Computer: no backup Computer is installed. The computer functions as a Model/0 due to the lack of a bridge. The vessel is fitted with communications equipment, a basic sensor array, and has an avionics suite. It has a transponder unit that can be deactivated on command.
5.	Hardpoints	x1 hardpoint. The listed weapons systems are typical for the class.
6.	Armament	The vessel is 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	Ship's Vehicles: x8 Marauder class combat walkers.
9.	Fuel Treatment	The vessel has internal fuel tankage of 1 dTon. The hull is fitted with intrinsic fuel scoops. The vessel is not equipped with fuel purification equipment and can work efficiently using unrefined fuel.
10.	Cost	The basic cost of the vessel is MCr9.675. Architects Fee: MCr7.610 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 MCr7.740. The price does not include the cost of the combat walkers: Each combat walker costs MCr0.517 (no discounts apply: a full complement costs MCr4.136). With its ship's vehicles, a discounted Jeremey class costs MCr11.876
11.	Construction Time	24 weeks 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	The vessel has 2.3 dTons of cargo space. The hold has independent life support and environmental systems. It can be sealed and isolated.

History & Background (Dossier)

Jeremey class Recovery Boats were common utility craft of the Jelmiri Marches.

• Large numbers of the craft were built.

Production of Jeremeys effectively ceased in 1100, following the Jaibok invasion of the Marches and the destruction of the naval construction yards at Jelmirt. Many examples of the class remain in service, some with the Loyalist forces of the Percavid Marches.

Class Naming Practice/s & Peculiarities

Vessel Peculiarities:
The Jeremey class was supplied in two visually similar but internally very different versions, the "A" and the "B": these were so distinct that the Jeremey B became its own class, the Jembyra.

The vessel did not have sufficient power for lasers or energy weapons, restricting weapons options to missiles or sandcasters.

Class Naming Practice/s:
Vessels of the Jelmiri Marches did not use the alphanumeric designations common to other designs of the region, instead using only a "callsign" name.

• Jeremey was selected as an easy to remember class name to identify the specific type of vessel.
• Individual vessels are generally named by their crews.
