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 subcraft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (...thousands of tons) where necessary.

Basic Ship Characteristics
No.	Category	Remarks
1.	Tonnage / Hull	The Xing!kir class is constructed using a 50,000 Ton hull built in a Flattened Sphere configuration. The hull is fully streamlined, giving a good atmospheric performance that is further enhanced by its onboard gravitic systems. There are 22 airlocks located around the vessel. The cargo hold is accessed by large doors and has a broad loading ramp. The vessel has hardened ventral surfaces, allowing surface landings.
2.	Crew	x440 personnel, including 72 Marines. 37 Officers, plus 4 Marine Officers. 331 Enlisted. Accommodations There is adequate open space to accommodate all of the crew. The vessel is considered to have superior accommodations, with a good balance of open and screened areas. Some sections of the internal space are isolated for security reasons. 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. There are multiple emergency lockers.
3.	Performance	The vessel mounts a Jump-2 drive, a Maneuver-2 drive, and a Power Plant-6, giving performance of Jump-2 and 2-G acceleration. The ship has an agility rating of 1 and an emergency agility of 2. The internal fuel tankage is sufficient for one Jump-2 and gives the power plant 4 weeks duration. The engineering section has a main control center. Ladders, gantries and platforms give access to the machinery. The jump drive utilizes a lanthanum hull grid. The jump drive is fitted with a jump governor.
4.	Electronics	Adjacent to the bridge is a Model/9fib computer: no backup computer is installed. There are multiple workstations and control points throughout the vessel. The vessel is fitted with communications equipment, an advanced sensor array, and has an avionics suite. It is fitted with backup commo and sensor systems. It has a transponder unit that can be deactivated on command. It is equipped with a sophisticated ECM package.
5.	Hardpoints	x500 hardpoints. The listed battery groupings are standard configurations for the class. Alternative battery groupings may be designated for specific missions.
6.	Armament	The normal weapons fit-out for an Xing!kir class is: x1 Type T spinal particle accelerator. x40 100-Ton bays, mounting heavy missile launchers. x40 triple beam laser turrets, typically grouped into four batteries of 10 linked turrets.
7.	Defenses	The hull is plated and structurally reinforced, giving it a High Guard armor rating of 4. It lacks internal bulkhead walls leaving it vulnerable to internal explosions. The vessel is fitted with a nuclear damper unit. The vessel is fitted with a meson screen generator.
8.	Craft	The vessel carries no dedicated subcraft.
9.	Fuel Treatment	The vessel has internal fuel tankage of 13,000 Tons. The hull is fitted with fuel scoops. The vessel is equipped with a fuel purification plant that can refine all onboard fuel in a few hours: the plant is operated and maintained by the engineering crew.
10.	Cost	The basic cost of the vessel is MCr26,499.700 Architects Fee: MCr264.997
11.	Construction Time	192 weeks (45 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 1,955 Tons. The cargo hold directly adjoins the open main section of the hull and augments its space: individual sections of the hold can be sealed off if desired. It is equipped with independent life support and environmental systems. Passenger Accomodations 72 passengers may be carried aboard the vessel. 9 Stewards see to their needs.

History & Background (Dossier)

The Xing!kir class is sometimes referred to as an assault cruiser or a missile cruiser. The names are justified: the vessel frequently operates in such roles. The onboard nuclear dampers and meson screens are of excellent quality and superior performance. The missile complement includes nuclear weapons for destroying threats (typically carnivores) from orbit en masse. The Xing!kir class appears to be a formidable warship at first glance, with powerful offensive weapons systems. However, this is offset by its poor acceleration and jump rating, its relatively thin skin and the total lack of internal bulkheads and compartments. While it is very hard-hitting it is also extremely vulnerable.
