=== General Description ===
 +
The ''Starblade'' class is a streamlined, flattened [[Cone Hull|cone]] with a mean width of 13 [[meter]]s, a mean height of 9 [[meter]]s, and a length of around 54 [[meter]]s. The ship has a total enclosed volume of approximately 2,700 [[Kiloliter|cubic meters]]. There are two decks: a main deck with the forward section housing the bridge and the aft section containing the passenger accommodations and the [[hangar]] for the [[Goblin class Gig|gig]], and a lower deck given over to crew quarters and the [[cargo hold]]. The engineering section is located aft and the [[fuel tank]]s wrap around the stern. The avionics bay is spacious and can be accessed.

The [[Distant Fringe]] is said to be a far [[spinward]]-[[rimward]] area inhabited by colonists and refugees originating on [[Terra (world)|Terra]] and separated by vast, almost uncrossable [[rift]]s that were once broached by a massive system of [[calibration Point]]s. Those few academics within [[Charted Space]] who have heard of the [[Distant Fringe]] regard it as little more than a tall tale.

The Starblade class Executive Yacht is a TL–11 small luxury Executive Yacht.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

The Starblade-class Executive Yacht is a private vessel occasionally encountered within the Distant Fringe. It is classified as a Non-Commercial Vessel and is constructed as a conventional design. Similar designs have been in use from the time the Distant Fringe was first settled. Some believe that it was a further development of an ancient Solomani design. Despite its superior atmospheric performance the vessel has no wilderness refueling capability.

Image Repository[edit]

  1. An exclusive and desirable Starblade class Executive Yacht.
    J-2 200dT Starblade Yacht.jpg

General Description[edit]

The Starblade class is a streamlined, flattened cone with a mean width of 13 meters, a mean height of 9 meters, and a length of around 54 meters. The ship has a total enclosed volume of approximately 2,700 cubic meters. There are two decks: a main deck with the forward section housing the bridge and the aft section containing the passenger accommodations and the hangar for the gig, and a lower deck given over to crew quarters and the cargo hold. The engineering section is located aft and the fuel tanks wrap around the stern. The avionics bay is spacious and can be accessed.

A basic deck plan of the vessel indicating the general layout and positioning of major elements.

Basic Ship Characteristics[edit]

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. [1]

Basic Ship Characteristics [2]
#. Category Remarks
1. Tonnage / Hull The Executive Yacht is constructed using a 200 dTon hull built in a wedge-shaped configuration. The hull is streamlined and has airfoil surfaces, giving good atmospheric performance that is reliant on its onboard gravitic systems.
2. Crew Total Crew Complement: x7

Accommodations
There are x13 Staterooms.

There are x8 Low Berths. They are tended by the vessel's steward.

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 / Engineering The vessel mounts a DeVoss-type Jump-2 drive, a Maneuver-4 drive and a Power Plant-4, giving performance of jump-2, 4-G acceleration and producing 8 Energy Points. The ship has an agility rating of 2 and an emergency agility of 4. 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 room.
    • Ladders, gantries and platforms give access to the machinery.
  • The jump drive utilizes a hull grid.
  • The jump drive is fitted with a jump governor.
4. Main Section / Electronics Adjacent to the bridge is a Model/3 Computer: there is no backup computer.
5. Hardpoints x2 hardpoints.
  • The listed battery groupings are considered standard for the class. Alternative battery groupings may be designated for specific routes.
6. Armament / Weaponry The normal weapons fit-out for a Starblade is:

x1 triple Beam Laser turret, firing as an independent battery.

x1 triple Missile turret, firing as an independent battery.

7. Defenses The hull is unarmored.

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

  • Such ship equipment may be retrofitted or added as part of a specialized package. Hull provisions have been made for these additions on the original plan with associated, supportive engineering.
8. Craft / Subcraft Flight Section

The Goblin is housed in a dedicated hangar: the hangar can be sealed and has a total volume of 10 dTons.

9. Fuel Treatment The vessel has internal fuel tankage of 48 dTons.
10. Cost The basic cost of the vessel, complete with a Gig, is MCr168.362.
  • Both 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 the price per unit to MCr134.690.
11. Construction Time 44 weeks (9 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. Remarks Standard cargo capacity amounts to 6 dTons.
