History & Background[edit]
On of the base rules during the SICP Design of the Architects from Ethlum Industrial Design was to create a cheap Pack without missing Quality. One of the methods to reach the goal, was to reuse old proved quality. To support a new colony with mining is inevitable which operates indepently for a medium duration of time, which fits to the Colony Ship. They took an old 400t Type T Patrol Cruiser, which proved its reliabilty a million times and modified it.
There are several Roles for the Ship:
- First at target Planet, because of trust movement
- Armed and able to defend against Pirates
- Biological Science Lab for creating plants if change of atmosphere is neccesary
- Workshop is case its needed
- Medical Lab is used if necessary
- 10 Marines for Landing Operations and Securing Scientist
The ship is clamped to the main Colony ship in a special mould for this ship.
At first they took an old cheap Patrol Cruiser and completly overhaul its engineering section.
Next they changed the following:
- deconstruction of 3 state room and 2 dton of common room. used the space for a 8 dton Biosphere and a 6 dton Workshop
- reduction of freight room by 8 dton, increase of crew rooms by installation of a Biological Laboratory and Medical Lab
- adding 1 dton to the fuel space
- Upgrade military sensors to improved
these were very mild updates, but providing multiple mission functions.
The SICP ships and the whole SICP were sold by SWEPDOSA Colony Services Ltd, built by and on Ithaqua and Britten Yards and Enineering. Cost of the Overhaul and the update, is about 12 Millions, without the purchase of the ship itself. a new construction cost about 200 Million.
Class Naming Practice/s & Peculiarities[edit]
Normally these ships are named with woman names. For the SICP Proram, there were modified 25 ships, because there are not left with the colony.
