Starships are designed with the Classic Traveller format, using High Guard.

The Cudin class Attack Boat is a combatant smallcraft.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

These ships operate within the Halcyon Sector. There are in service with the Unity of Sed Navy. Four of these vessels can be carried to other systems by the prototype Galiar class Light Cruiser.

Image Repository[edit]

No information yet available.

General Description & Deck Plans[edit]

Their greatest contribution is as dedicated close fire support platforms for marine infantry units. Their 250MW input plasma cannons in a close air support role can defeat any enemy grav tanks arrayed against them.

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 craft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (thousands of tons) when necessary. [1]

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

10 in service. Designed and built at Cudin for the Unity of Sed.

Distant Fringe Vessels[edit]

The Distant Fringe is said to be a far trailing-rimward area inhabited by colonists and refugees originating on Terra. The region is extremely isolated, separated from the rest of Charted Space by vast, almost uncrossable rifts that were once broached by a system of calibration Points and the use of tankers. Those few academics within Charted Space who have found references to the Distant Fringe regard it as little more than a tall tale. Likewise, many of the inhabitants of the Distant Fringe believe the existence of Charted Space to be mythical.[3]

Vessels originating within the Distant Fringe are very rarely encountered outside of the region. However, misjumps do occur and anomalies with bizarre spacetime and Jumpspace effects exist: as such, craft of this type are not entirely unknown within Charted Space.[4]

Class Naming Practice/s & Peculiarities[edit]

Individual vessels are generally named by their crews.

  • Individual vessels within the class are issued specific serial numbers and transponder codes.
  • Naming a ship is considered a serious affair and is generally accompanied by a traditional ceremony, usually pouring a local beverage over the bows of the craft. Spacefarers tend to be superstitious folk and a ship with a frivolous name is considered "unlucky".

Selected Variant Types & Classes[edit]

  1. Type U class Pinnace
