- Please also see: Ships of the Distant Fringe
Description[edit]
The Treader-class is a merchant vessel commonly encountered within the Distant Fringe region. It is classified as a Transport 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.
Image Repository[edit]
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]
#. | Category | Remarks |
---|---|---|
1. | Tonnage / Hull | The Free Trader is constructed using a 200 dTon hull built in a conical 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: x6
Accommodations
There are x10 Low Berths, primarily used for transporting livestock. Accessible areas of the hull are fitted with grav plates and inertial compensators and have full life support and environmental systems.
|
3. | Performance / Engineering | 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 4 Energy Points. The ship has an agility rating of 1. The internal fuel tankage is sufficient for one Jump-2 and gives the power plant 4 weeks duration.
|
4. | Main Section / Electronics | Adjacent to the bridge is a Model/2 Computer: the vessel does not have a backup computer.
|
5. | Hardpoints | x2 hardpoints.
|
6. | Armament / Weaponry | The normal weapons fit-out for a Treader is:
x1 triple Missile turret, firing as an independent battery.

x1 triple Sandcaster turret, firing as an independent battery. The vessel is not fitted with screens or other passive defensive systems. |
8. | Craft / Subcraft | The vessel carries no subcraft. |
9. | Fuel Treatment | The vessel has internal fuel tankage of 44 dTons.
|
10. | Cost | The basic cost of the vessel is MCr104.700.
|
11. | Construction Time | 44 weeks (9 months) as standard.
|
12. | Remarks | Standard cargo capacity amounts to 80 dTons.
There is a 1 dTon secure locker. |
History & Background[edit]
The Treader class shares a basic hull pattern with the Wanderer class Luxury Yacht. 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.
