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}}

* The vessel has a sturdy retractable undercarriage, allowing surface landings.
* The vessel is fitted with an [[airlock]].
|-
| 2.
| [[Crew]]
| 2 personnel.
* 1 command/pilot, 1 engineering/electronics.

''Accommodations''
* Two Small Craft Staterooms: officially these are single occupancy, but in practice one is typically fitted with two cramped crew bunks while the second functions as a lounge, galley and office.

Accessible areas of the [[hull]] are fitted with [[grav plate]]s and [[inertial compensator]]s and have full life support and environmental systems.

| [[Maneauver Drive|Performance]]
| The vessel mounts a [[Maneuver Drive|Maneuver]]-5 drive and a [[Power Plant]]-5, giving performance of 5-G acceleration. The ship has an agility rating of 5. The internal fuel tankage is sufficient to give the [[power plant]] 4 weeks duration.
* The engineering section is controlled from the bridge. Access to the machinery can be gained via a sealable hatch.
|-
| 4.
| [[Ship's Computer|Electronics]]
| Adjacent to the small craft bridge is a Model/2 [[computer]]: no backup computer is installed.

== History & Background ==
''Fearless'' class Heavy Fighters serve with the [[The Democratic People's Defense Forces]], the military of the [[Winston Democracy]]. ''Fearlesses'' are fully streamlined and, for their size, have a very heavily armored hull. They produce 5G acceleration, they are agile, and they are armed with a pair of missile racks. The two-man crew, officially at least, each have their own small stateroom for comfort on long system patrols. The simple design allows them to be produced on many of the more advanced [[world]]s lying in the coreward territories of the [[Winston Democracy|Democracy]].
