The Ulysses class Long-Range Scout is a Research Ship.

Description (Specifications)

The Ulysses class is a survey vessel occasionally encountered within the Distant Fringe region. It is classified as a Research Ship and is constructed as a long-range design. Similar designs have been in use from the time the Distant Fringe was first settled.

  • The vessel is a TL-11 design.

J2 600 dTon Long-Range Scout.jpg
A Ulysses class Long-Range Scout.

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]

Basic Ship Characteristics [2]
No. Category Remarks
1. Tonnage The Long-Range Scout is constructed using a 600 dTon hull built in a generally cone-shaped configuration. The hull is fully streamlined, giving a good atmospheric performance that is entirely reliant on its gravitic systems.
2. Crew Total Crew Complement: 20

x9 Command, x2 Engineering, x5 Gunnery, x3 Service, and x1 Medic.

Accommodations

There are 20 Staterooms.

There are 20 Low Berths, typically used for specimen storage.

  • They may also be used to place the crew into hibernation when the vessel is required to remain on station for extended periods.

Accessible areas of the hull are fitted with grav plates and inertial compensators and have full life support and environmental systems.

  • The vessel has a secure locker with a capacity of 2 dTons.
  • There are internal monitoring and security systems throughout the vessel. Sections of the ship can be isolated in the event of an emergency.
  • There are multiple Emergency Lockers.
3. Performance The vessel mounts a DeVoss-type Jump-2 drive, a Maneuver-3 drive and a Power Plant-3, giving performance of 3-G acceleration and producing 18 Energy Points. The ship has an agility rating of 1 and an emergency agility of 3. The internal fuel tankage gives the power plant 6 weeks duration.
  • The engineering section has a main control room.
    • Ladders, gantries and platforms give access to the machinery.
  • The jump drive utilizes a hull grid.
  • The jump drive is fitted with a jump governor.
4. Electronics Adjacent to the bridge is a Model/3 Computer: the vessel has a backup Model/3 Computer.
5. Hardpoints x6 hardpoints.
  • The listed weapons systems are typical for the design. Alternative weaponry may be designated for specific routes.
6. Armament The normal weapons fit-out for a Long-Range Scout is:

x2 triple Beam Laser turrets, grouped into one battery of 2 linked turrets

x2 triple Missile turrets, grouped into one battery of 2 linked turrets

7. Defenses The hull is unarmored.

x2 triple Sandcaster turrets, grouped into one battery of 2 linked turrets

The vessel is not fitted with screens or other passive defensive systems.

8. Craft The vessel carries no subcraft.
9. Fuel Treatment The vessel has internal fuel tankage of 267 dTons.
10. Cost The basic cost of the vessel is MCr413.848.
  • If multiple examples of the design are ordered all of the ships in the production run qualify for a 20% discount, which reduces the price per unit to MCr331.079.
  • The vessel is a standard design. Detailed architectural plans are widely available and no design fee is chargeable.
11. Construction Time 96 weeks (24 months) as standard.
  • 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 25 dTons.

History & Background (Dossier)

The design is representative and a number of variants exist, particularly with regard to the allotted weapons systems, onboard electronics, and the fit out of internal spaces.

Class Naming Practice/s & Peculiarities

Different examples of the design are known by many different names but all have very similar performance characteristics and capabilities.
