Starships are designed with the Classic Traveller format, using High Guard Shipyard v1.13 written by Andrea Vallance.

The High Liner class Bulk Freighter is a mercantile starship.

Description (Specifications)

The High Liner is a large merchant ship found within the Distant Fringe.

They are fitted with an advanced model/6 computer, yet lack the expensive fiber optic back ups considered standard for military vessels. The dispersed structure hull is inexpensive, but incapable of independent refueling operations. The ship has 1-G acceleration, and 1 agility. The ship is capable of Jump-2, and carries enough internal fuel for two jumps. They are fitted with 28 days of extra power plant fuel and well as another Jump-2 drop tank for increased range when crossing rift zones. It carries fifty triple sand caster turrets, in five batteries as defensive measures.

They can carry a pair of 1,000 dton Rysos class Battle Barges. This capacity can be dynamically reconverted to suit mission needs and parameters. Modular research labs, exploration vessels can be supported for university field research. Passenger modules can be fitted for large numbers of low berths or cabins as needed, as well.

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 High Liner class Bulk Freighter is constructed using an 5,000 dTon hull built in a dispersed structure configuration. The hull is unstreamlined and has no capability to perform atmospheric operations.
2. Crew Total Crew Complement: x38
  • x11 Command, x6 Engineering, x6 Gunnery, x15 Service.

Accommodations

There are x25 Staterooms.

  • x23 Staterooms are given over to crew quarters. The command crew have individual cabins: all other quarters are double occupancy.
  • x2 Staterooms are available to paying passengers. The vessel does not offer steward service.

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

  • 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-1 drive, and a Power Plant-2, giving performance of Jump-2, 1-G acceleration, and producing 100 Energy Points. The ship has an agility rating of 1. The internal fuel tankage is sufficient for two Jump-2s and 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 creates a jump bubble around the vessel.
  • The jump drive is fitted with a jump governor.
4. Electronics Adjacent to the bridge is a Model/6 Computer: the vessel does not have a backup computer.
5. Hardpoints x50 hardpoints.
  • The listed battery groupings are considered standard for the class. Alternative battery groupings may be designated for specific routes.
6. Armament The High Liner is unarmed.
7. Defenses The hull is unarmored.

x50 triple Sandcaster turrets, grouped into five batteries each of 10 linked turrets

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

8. Craft The vessel carries no subcraft.

The Bulk Freighter has the capacity to carry up to 2,000 dTons of smaller vessels. There are large numbers of berthing points located across the hull, each connected to a crew access hatch.

  • The vessel may also externally mount properly secured consignments of goods and freight: this cargo is carried in vacuum conditions and must be protected accordingly.
9. Fuel Treatment The vessel has internal fuel tankage of 2150 dTon.
10. Cost The basic cost of the vessel is MCr2,030.000.
  • Architects Fee: MCr2.030
  • 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 MCr1,624.000.
11. Construction Time 112 weeks (28 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 43 dTons of internal (protected) volume.

History & Background (Dossier)

The class was commissioned for the Bright Conclave, in the Halcyon Sector headquartered at Selasia (world). These ships are built to be as inexpensive as possible while maintaining flexibility. There are x20 in service.
