The Port of Nickle Eugenia class Bulk Container Vessel was originally an auxiliary warship: it is now more commonly seen as a commercial transport.
- It is a military ship and an Auxiliary.
Description (Specifications)
The Port of Nickle Eugenia class Bulk Container Vessel is a deliberate misnomer. More heavier armed than several smaller warships, this behemoth is envisioned as the self-escorting merchant cruiser. A trader which can go open up new markets and deal with small local military assets should the need arise. The company of mercenary security forces are trained in protected forces operations and can board and capture smaller vessels. The vast fuel tankage precludes a large cargo hold. They can not turn a profit, without government subsidies. An instrument of policy, a political statement as much as a peaceful merchant, they find themselves cast in a variety of extra-governmental roles. It is constructed as a long-range design. The vessel is a TL-13 design.
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. [1]
| No. | Category | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Tonnage | The Port of Nickle Eugenia class Bulk Container Vessel class is constructed using a 142,000 dTon hull built in a partially streamlined close configuration.
|
| 2. | Crew | x889 personnel:
Accommodations
Accessible areas of the hull are fitted with grav plates and inertial compensators and have full life support and environmental systems.
|
| 3. | Performance | The vessel mounts a Cobalt Dynamics Jump 4 drive, Four Magnum Flow Reactionless 1G drives, and a Power Plant-4, giving performance of Jump-4 and 4G acceleration. The ship has an agility rating of 3 and an emergency agility of 4. It is a long-range design: the internal fuel tankage is sufficient for a single jump 4, with drop tanks for an additional jump 4 and gives the power plant 4 weeks duration.

| 4. | Electronics | Adjacent to the bridge is an efficient Model/7fib computer: with a full backup computer is installed. There are multiple holo-dynamically reconfigurable Workstations.
Electromagnetic Spectrum Sensors include the following. • Active IR (infrared radiation, thermal imaging) (Active Sensor) • Laser / Light Sensors (Passive Sensor) • LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) – also called LADAR (Laser Detection and Ranging) (Active Sensor) • Prismatic (anti-laser) aerosol (countermeasure) • Magnetic Sensor (Passive Sensor) • Neutrino Sensor (Passive Sensor) • Passive IR (infrared radiation, thermal imaging) (Passive Sensor) • RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging) (Active Sensor) • All-weather RADAR (improved function in a variety of environmental conditions) (Active Sensor) • RADAR Direction Finder (Passive Sensor) • RADAR Jammer (Active ECM) • Radiation Sensor (Passive Sensor) • Radio Detector (Communications Equipment) (Passive Sensor) • Radio Direction Finder (Passive Sensor) • Radio Jammer (Active ECM) • UV Detector (ultraviolet radiation) (Passive Sensor) Gravitic Equipment • Densitometer (gravitic sensor) (Passive Sensor) Navigational Aids • Inertial Locator (navigational aid, data improvement)

| 8. | Craft | Flight Section
The Port of Nickle Eugenia class Bulk Container Vessel usually carries a pair of small Grav APCs for the direct action team to deploy and ex-filtrate. The vehicle is housed in a dedicated hanger.
Some commercial vessels sell off surplus subcraft, with hanger space generally being converted into auxiliary cargo holds. |
| 9. | Fuel Treatment | The vessel has internal fuel tankage of 62,480 dTons.
Droptanks Examples of the class in military service are routinely fitted with Droptanks capable of supporting an additional jump-4 for extended range operations. |
| 10. | Cost | The basic cost of the vessel, complete without the subcraft, is MCr83,225.862.
|
| 11. | Construction Time | 296 weeks individually, 237 weeks in quantity.
|
| 12. | Comments | Standard cargo capacity amounts to 28,500.0 dTons. |
History & Background (Dossier)
Designed and built for Talokan Armed Forces as a merchant marine vessel which operates as a quasi-commercial capacity. The government underwrites these vessels and they have autonomy to operate, in so far as their operations further the goals of the government. They can be called upon at anytime to render service for the state. The military grade armored hull was re-tasked from a cancelled project and this hybrid emerged from the ashes. With serveral redundant systems, small scale pirates have learned to leave these alone. Must pirate vessels are ill equipped to cope with a particle accelerator, missile bay AND a meson gun on their targets.
