The [[TC15 Edhoda class Light Cruiser]] is a [[warship]].
* It is a [[military ship]] and a [[Cruiser]].
 
== Description (Specifications) ==
The [[TC15 Edhoda class Light Cruiser]] is a "cruiser" class deployed by the [[Trooles Confederation]].  Examples of the class can be encountered throughout the coreward parts of [[Theta Borealis Sector]]. The vessel has a fully streamlined conical structure [[hull]].  It is fitted with fuel scoops and [[fuel purification plant]] allowing it to perform wilderness ocean refueling.

=== 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. {{Page cite|name= Fighting Ships |page= 10 |version= Classic Traveller}}

| 1.
| [[Ton|Tonnage]]
| The ''TC15 Edhoda class Light Cruiser'' is constructed using a 1,500 [[Ton]] [[hull]] built in a fully streamlined conical structure configuration. The hull is capable of wilderness ocean refueling.
* The vessel has two [[airlock]]s. The cargo hold is accessed by a large bay doors that also serves to anchor docking clamps for service vehicles.
|-
| 2.
| [[Crew]]
| x86 personnel.
* x11 command, 6 engineering, 5 gunnery, 7 flight, 3 service and 54 marines in 46 double occupancy staterooms.

''Accommodations''
* There are 46 [[Stateroom]]s.
** All Staterooms are given over to the crew. All crew quarters are double occupancy.
* There are 0 [[Low Berth]]s.

Accessible areas of the hull are fitted with [[grav plate]]s and [[inertial compensator]]s 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 locker]]s.
|-
| 3.
| [[Maneuver Drive|Performance]]
| The vessel mounts a [[Jump Drive|Jump]]-2 drive, a [[Maneuver Drive|Maneuver]]-5 drive, and an upgraded fusion [[Power Plant]]-6, giving performance of Jump-2 and 5-G acceleration. The ship has an agility rating of 5 and an emergency agility of 5. The internal fuel tankage is sufficient for a Jump-2 and gives the [[power plant]] 4 weeks duration.  It is fitted with drop tanks, should extended range operations be required.
* The engineering section has a main control room.
* The jump drive utilizes a lanthanum hull grid.
* The jump drive is fitted with a [[jump governor]].

| [[Ship's Computer|Electronics]]
| Adjacent to the bridge is a Model/5 fib [[computer]].
* There are multiple workstations and control points throughout the vessel.
* The vessel is fitted with communications equipment, a basic sensor array, and has an avionics suite.  They have system range laser, microwave and radio communication arrays.

* Architects Fee: [[MCr]]14.304
|-
| 11.
| [[Naval Architecture|Construction Time]]
| 180 weeks as standard, 144 weeks in bulk.
* 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 [[Ton]]s.
* The cargo hold can be sealed and has independent life support and environmental systems.

== History & Background ([[Dossier]]) ==
The ''TC15 Edhoda class Light Cruiser'' class is used by the [[Trooles Confederation]]. These fully streamlined conical structures can land on planetary surfaces. They carry two dropships and a platoon of [[TC004 Rambler class Grav APC]]s for the marine company. Limitations of the design include: the light hull armor and a weaker sand caster battery. The missile bay is used for orbital bombardment. The design is faster and most agile which requires a much larger fusion power plant. The 54 marines can use drop capsules to attack from orbit.  The design suffers from no computer back ups. They dispense with the plasma guns in favor of a more powerful beam laser battery.
