== Description ([[Specifications]]) ==
 
−
The Pinnace is designed to rapidly ferry passengers and incidental cargoes between locations. Similar designs have been in use from the time the [[Distant Fringe]] was first settled. The design is occasionally designated as a [[Lifeboat]].
 
−
* This vessel is a [[TL-9]] 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]]. [[Ton]]nage on the [[universal ship profile]] is shown in [[kiloton]]s (thousands of tons) when necessary. {{Page cite|name= Fighting Ships |page= 10 |version= Classic Traveller}}

== History & Background ([[Dossier]]) ==
 
−
An ubiquitous design used throughout the [[Distant Fringe]], the Pinnace is durable and reliable. Its small size makes it a popular [[subcraft]] for smaller [[starship]]s. The design is representative and a large number of variants exist, particularly with regard to the allotted [[Ship Weapon|weapons]] systems, onboard [[electronic]]s, 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.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Selected Variant Types & Classes ===
