| − | A generic class of civilian vessel, the Bulk Carrier is a large commercial transport commonly encountered operating within clusters of stars within the [[Distant Fringe]] region. It is classified as a Bulk Cargo Carrier 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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Hull === | |
| − | The Bulk Carrier is constructed using a 75000 dTon hull built in a dispersed structure configuration. The hull is unstreamlined.
| |
| − | * Individual sections of the ship are divided by bulkhead walls. Sections of the ship can be isolated in the event of an emergency.
| |
| − | * The hull includes internal grav plates and inertial compensators. All accessible sections of the hull have life support.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Engineering ===
| |
| − | The vessel mounts a [[DeVoss Drive|DeVoss]]-type jump-1 drive, a maneuver-1 drive, and a power plant 1, giving performance of jump-1 and 1G acceleration. The ship has an agility rating of 0 and an emergency agility of 1. There is fuel tankage of 8250 dTons, sufficient for one jump-1 and giving the power plant four weeks duration.
| |
| − | * The engineering section has a main control room.
| |
| − | * The jump drive is fitted with a jump governor.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Main Section ===
| |
| − | Adjacent to the bridge is a computer model/5: the vessel carries an additional backup computer model/5. There are 200 staterooms and 500 low berths, primarily used to transport livestock. Double occupancy accommodations are required for all except the command crew. 7 staterooms are available to paying passengers. Cargo capacity amounts to 55600 dTons.
| |
| − | * The vessel is fitted with communications equipment and a sensor suite.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Crew ====
| |
| − | The Bulk Carrier requires 348 crew: 38x command, 53x engineering, 30x gunnery, and 225x service, of which 33 double up as flight crew for the subcraft as required. In addition, the vessel carries a passenger steward and a medic.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Weapons ===
| |
| − | The ship is fitted with 4x 100 dTon bays and 160 turrets. These are grouped into:
| |
| − | * four missile batteries, each consisting of a single bay weapon
| |
| − | * twelve sandcaster batteries, each consisting of 10 linked triple turrets
| |
| − | * seven beam laser batteries, each consisting of 10 linked triple turrets
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are 520 unused hardpoints but no additional space is set aside for fire control.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Subcraft ===
| |
| − | The ship carries two 1200 dTon [[Fringian Heavy Lander|Heavy Landers]] and a 40 dTon [[Fringian Ship’s Boat|Ship’s Boat]], each housed in a designated berthing position.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Cost ===
| |
| − | The basic cost of the vessel, complete with its complement of subcraft, is MCr20549.372.
| |
| − | * All the craft are standard designs. Detailed architectural plans are widely available and no design fee is chargeable.
| |
| − | * If multiple examples of the design are ordered all of the ships in the production run qualify for a 20% discount, which reduces their price to MCr16439.498.
| |
| | | | |
| − | == History / Background == | + | === Selected Example Ships === |
| − | The design is representative and a large number of variants exist, particularly with regard to the allotted weapons systems, onboard electronics, and the fit out of internal spaces.
| + | * [[Empress class Bulk Carrier]] |
