Starships are designed with the Classic Traveller format, using High Guard Shipyard v1.13 written by Andrea Vallance.

The C-4 class Interceptor was a light warship once used by the fabled Chanestin Kingdom.

• It was a military ship and a Escort.

Description (Specifications)

Clad in its crimson livery, this squat, brutish design lacked range and maneuverability. However its massively armored hull could withstand direct hits and still keep coming. This ship served as the primary defensive interceptor for the kingdom throughout the conflict with the Syleans. Over 200 of this beast were eventually produced.

C-7 Scout

Organized into oversized squadrons these light ships where thrown into the attack en masse. The swarm's only hope was to close with the enemy as fast as their 5Gs would permit to unleash their twin plasma cannons at point blank range. They had no defense and were not difficult to damage if you could score a hit on these agile, fragile craft.

C-9 Missile Corvette

Designed to aggressively deliver a barrage of thermonuclear weapons to the enemies' planetary surface, this design jumps in, races for the home world and unleashes its hydra weapon system. The pulse lasers and flexible, energy dissipating armor platelets are an afterthought, and serve only to fend off a few missile hits and prevent critical hits that would prevent the arrival of its ordinance on strategic targets.

C-13 Gun Boat

This sleek design came as a complete surprise to the harried picket boat crews who first encountered it. The massive power signature of the oversized reactor was an unwelcome herald of this fast and agile craft. Sacrificing everything for maneuverability it lacked defenses, jump range and fuel tankage. Having to forage for hydrogen to ensure its ability to return home tended to make encounters desperate struggles for survival without mercy.
