The Pride of Vland class Long Liner is a TL–13 Long Liner. The Tukera long-liner is a proprietary Tukera Lines design, and is operated on many of Tukera's routes as a standard passenger liner. Build sturdily and intended to last in service for decades, the long-liner maintains a standard of quality service that other lines try to match.
Description[edit]
Using a 1000-ton hull, the Tukera long liner is a main-route passenger transport serving much of the Imperium. The long-liner has a jump drive rating of 4, with 1G acceleration capability. Fuel tankage of 440 tons supports the power plant and one jump-4. Adjacent to the bridge is a Model/4 computer. The hull is streamlined. The ship has a fuel purification plant, and can safely use unrefined fuel.
There are 50 staterooms and 6 emergency low berths. The ship has five hardpoints and five tons allocated to fire control. The ship carries one vehicle: a 20-ton launch. Cargo capacity for the long-liner is 130 tons.
The long-liner requires a crew of 14: captain/pilot, navigator, 6 engineers, medic, 3 stewards, gunner, and launch pilot. The ship can carry up to 24 high passengers (more if another steward is added) and 12 middle passengers. The ship costs MCr526.4 (including 10% discount for quantity production and 1% architect's fees) and takes 30 months to build.
History & Background[edit]
In merchant service, the single greatest threat to a ship is hijacking. Ships themselves are extremely valuable and extremely mobile. As a result, this sort of ship is designed to foil hijackings. The crew quarters, the drive rooms, and the bridge are all behind solid bulkheads, accessible through a limited number of portals. These accesses can be guarded by the crew in the course of their normal activities, with backup safeguards operated by the ship's computer.
Class Naming Practice/s: Tukera's long-liners are named to recall worlds it serves: Pride of Vland, Deneb Express, Spirit of Rhylanor, and Gold of Zurrian.
