== Description / Specifications ==
 
A generic class of civilian vessel, the Commercial Tender is a commercial transport typically encountered operating within clusters of stars within the [[Distant Fringe]] region. It is classified as a Non-Mercantile Commercial Ship and is constructed as a [[Conventional Pattern Starships|conventional]] design. Similar designs have been in use from the time the [[Distant Fringe]] was first settled.
 
* The vessel is a TL 11 design.
 
* Vessels of this type are employed in the [[Recovery Trade]].
 
* A comparable design is the [[Orowani Deep Space Commercial Tender|Orowani Commercial Tender]].
 
 
 
=== Hull ===
 
The Commercial Tender is constructed using a 3500 dTon hull built in a generally cone-shaped configuration. The hull is fully streamlined: the ship is equipped with fuel scoops.
 
* Individual sections of the ship are divided by bulkhead walls.
 
* The hull includes internal grav plates and inertial compensators.
 
 
 
=== Engineering ===
 
The vessel mounts a [[DeVoss Drive|DeVoss]]-type jump-2 drive, a maneuver-2 drive, and a power plant 2, giving performance of jump-2 and 2G acceleration. There is fuel tankage of 1200 dTons, sufficient for one jump-2 and giving the power plant four weeks duration. 430 dTons of fuel is commercially available. The vessel is fitted with a purification plant.
 
* The jump drive is fitted with a jump governor.
 
 
 
=== Main Section ===
 
Adjacent to the bridge is a computer model/2: the vessel carries an additional backup computer model/2. The vessel has a secure locker with a capacity of 3 dTons. There are 100 staterooms and 100 low berths. Single occupancy accommodations are provided for all the crew: 57 staterooms are available to paying passengers. Cargo capacity amounts to 2200 dTons.
 
* The vessel is fitted with communications equipment and a sensor suite.
 
 
 
==== Crew ====
 
The Commercial Tender requires 43 crew: 9x command, 6x engineering, 7x gunnery, and 12x service, of which two serve as flight crew for the Ship’s Boats when required. In addition there are 8x passenger stewards and a medic.
 
 
 
=== Weapons ===
 
The ship is fitted with 32 turrets. These are grouped into:
 
* two sandcaster batteries, each consisting of 10 linked triple turrets
 
* two missile batteries, each consisting of 6 linked triple turrets
 
 
 
There are 3 unused hardpoints and 3 tons of internal space is set aside for fire control.
 
 
=== Hangers / Subcraft ===
 
Internal commercial hanger space amounts to 1100 dTons.
 
 
 
The ship carries two 40 dTon [[Fringian Ship’s Boat|Ship’s Boats]], housed within the commercial hangers.
