The Porter class is a utility vessel with 2-G performance. It has a broadly cone-shaped profile and is fully streamlined, allowing atmospheric operations and enabling it to perform surface landings.
Basic Ship Characteristics[edit]
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.

Class Naming Practice/s:
Vessels of the Trooles Confederation are given alphanumeric designations and callsigns by other interstellar states. TC refers to Trooles Confederation (a designation applied to all Confederation combat units), 00 is a combat smallcraft designation, and when it is used 'a' refers to the version of the vessel, relating to its construction tech level. Type codes will often repeat: 'Porter' is an easy to remember class name to identify the specific type of vessel.
- Individual vessels are generally named by their pilots.
