Using a partially streamlined, armored close configuration 1,600 ton hull, the Rule of Man Sloop is a typical small warship used on patrol, military, and anti-corsair missions. It mounts Jump-2 drives and 6-G maneuver drives. Fuel tankage for 416 ton supports the power plant and allows one Jump-2. Adjacent to the bridge is a model/5 fib computer. There are 18 staterooms with double occupancy. There is a 100 ton missile bay and six triple turrets mounted with fire control. Installed on the hard-points are two triple sand casters in a single battery, two double plasma gun turrets with four firing batteries, and two triple beam laser turrets grouped into a single battery. There are no ship's vehicles nor ship's troops.  The cargo capacity is 3.0 tons. The Sloop requires a crew of thirty two.

The Insanity class Sloop of War is a warship.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

The Insanity class Sloop-of-war was a common Terran vessel that saw service towards the end of the Second Imperium.

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) where necessary. [1]
