| − | 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]].
| + | Within the [[Distant Fringe]], a pinnace is usually identified as a general purpose utility [[smallcraft]] with a displacement of less than 40 [[Ton|dTon]]s. Frequently they are substantially smaller, averaging around 20 [[Ton|dTon]]s. Pinnaces most commonly serve as [[subcraft]] on a larger parent vessel and are typically housed within a specialized [[hangar]]. |
| − | * This vessel is a [[TL-9]] design.
| + | * While aboard a parent vessel and not active as flight crew, the pinnace's personnel may be assigned alternate duties such as service crew. |

| |
| − | | [[Ton|Tonnage]]
| |
| − | | The Pinnace is constructed using a 20 [[Ton|dTon]] [[hull]] built in a generally [[Cone Hull|cone-shaped]] configuration. The [[hull]] is fully [[Streamlined Hull|streamlined]] and has airfoil surfaces, giving improved [[Atmosphere|atmospheric]] performance that is further enhanced by its onboard [[Gravity Control Technology|gravitic]] systems.
| |
| − | * Individual sections of the ship are divided by [[Bulkhead Wall|bulkhead wall]]s. | |
| − | * The vessel has an [[airlock]]. | |
| − | * The vessel has sturdy [[Landing Gear|retractable landing legs]], allowing surface landings. | |

| |
| − | | [[Crew]]
| |
| − | | Total Crew Complement: 1 | |
| − | * x1 pilot. If the vessel is carried as a [[subcraft]], this individual serves as service crew aboard the parent vessel when not required for piloting duties.
| |

| − | ''Accommodations'' | |
| − | | |
| − | There are x10 [[Middle Passage|passenger]] [[acceleration couch]]es.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Accessible areas of the [[hull]] are fitted with [[grav plate]]s and [[inertial compensator]]s. The vessel has full [[Life Support|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 small [[emergency locker]]s, built into the structure of the [[acceleration couch|couches]]. | |

| |
| − | | [[Maneuver Drive|Performance]]
| |
| − | | The vessel mounts a [[Maneuver Drive|Maneuver]]-4 drive and a [[Power Plant]]-4, giving performance of 4-G acceleration and producing 0.8 [[Energy Point]]s. The ship has an agility rating of 4. The internal [[Fuel Tank|fuel tankage]] is sufficient to give the [[power plant]] approximately 7 [[week]]s duration.
| |
| − | * The engineering section is controlled from the cockpit. Access to the machinery can be gained via a sealable hatch.

| |
| − | * The ship is a standard design. 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 the price of each unit to [[MCr]]10.840.

| | == History & Background ([[Dossier]]) == | | == 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.
| + | The convention of declaring a [[smallcraft]] of a certain [[Ton|displacement tonnage]] range as a pinnace is a matter of local tradition. In reality there is no discernible difference between a large pinnace and a small [[Fringian Launch|launch]]. |
| | | | |
| − | === Class Naming Practice/s & Peculiarities === | + | === Image Repository === |
| − | Different examples of the design are known by many different names but all have very similar performance characteristics and capabilities.
