| − | The [[Fringian Commercial Tender|Commercial Tender]] is a large commercial [[starship]].
| |
| − | * It is a [[Civilian Ship]] and a [[Tender]].
| |

| − | | |
| − | == Description / Specifications ==
| |
| − | A generic class of civilian vessel, the Commercial Tender is a commercial transport typically encountered operating within clusters of stars within the [[Distant Fringe]] region. It is classified as a Non-Mercantile Commercial Ship and is constructed as a [[Conventional Pattern Starships|conventional]] design. Similar designs have been in use from the time the [[Distant Fringe]] was first settled.
| |
| − | * The vessel is a [[TL-11]] design.

| − | === Basic Ship Characteristics ===
| |
| − | 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. {{Page cite|name= Fighting Ships |page= 10 |version= Classic Traveller}}

| |
| − | | [[Ton|Tonnage]]
| |
| − | | The Commercial Tender is constructed using a 3,500 [[Ton|dTon]] [[hull]] built in a generally [[Cone Hull|conical]] configuration. The [[hull]] is fully [[Streamlined Hull|streamlined]], giving good [[Atmosphere|atmospheric]] performance that is further enhanced by its onboard [[Gravity Control Technology|gravitic]] systems.
| |
| − | * There are multiple [[airlock]]s located around the vessel. The [[Hanger|hangers]] and [[cargo hold]] are accessible by large doors.
| |
| − | * The vessel has sturdy [[Landing Gear|retractable legs]], allowing surface landings.
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | 2.
| |
| − | | [[Crew]]
| |
| − | | x43 personnel.
| |
| − | * x9 command, x6 engineering, x7 gunnery, and x12 service, of which two serve as flight crew for the [[Fringian Ship's Boat|Ship's Boats]] when required. In addition, the vessel carries a medic. Stewards may be taken on as necessary to attend to passengers.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''Accommodations''
| |
| − | * There are 100 [[Stateroom]]s.
| |
| − | ** 43 Staterooms are given over to the crew. Single occupancy accommodations are provided for all crewmembers.
| |
| − | ** 57 additional staterooms are available. The complement includes a variable number of engineers, technicians and specialists who undertake work on vessels berthed within the commercial [[Hanger|hanger]]. Each receives their own stateroom, reducing the accommodations available to paying passengers.
| |
| − | * There are 100 [[Cold sleep#Low berth|Low Berth]]s.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Accessible areas of the hull are fitted with [[grav plate]]s and [[inertial compensator]]s and have full [[Life Support|life support]] and environmental systems.
| |
| − | * Individual sections of the ship are divided by [[Bulkhead Wall|bulkhead wall]]s. Sections of the ship can be isolated in the event of an emergency.
| |
| − | * There are internal monitoring and security systems throughout the vessel. Individual sections of the [[hull]] can be sealed off.
| |
| − | * There are multiple [[Emergency Locker]]s.
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | 3.
| |
| − | | [[Maneuver Drive|Performance]]
| |
| − | | The vessel mounts a [[DeVoss Drive|DeVoss]]-type [[Jump]]-2 drive, a [[Maneuver Drive|Maneuver]]-2 drive, and a [[Power Plant]]-2, giving performance of Jump-2 and 2-G acceleration. The ship has an agility rating of 2. The internal fuel tankage is sufficient for one [[Jumpspace|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]].

| |
| − | | [[Ship's Computer|Electronics]]
| |
| − | | Adjacent to the [[bridge]] is a Model/2 [[computer]]: the vessel has a backup Model/2 computer.
| |
| − | * There are multiple [[workstation]]s and [[Control Panel|control points]] throughout the vessel.
| |
| − | * The vessel is fitted with [[Communications_Equipment#Shipboard_Communications|communications equipment]], a standard [[Ship Sensor Suite|sensor array]], and has an [[Avionics|avionics suite]].
| |
| − | ** It is fitted with backup commo and sensor systems.
| |
| − | * It has a [[transponder]] unit that can be deactivated on command.

| |
| − | | x35 [[hardpoint]]s.
| |
| − | * The listed weapons systems are typical for the design. Alternative weaponry may be designated for operations in specific regions.
| |
| − | * There are 3 unused [[hardpoint]]s and 3 d[[Ton]]s are set aside for fire control.

| |
| − | | [[Ship's Weapon|Armament]]
| |
| − | | The normal [[Starship Weapon|weapons]] fit-out for a Commercial Tender is:
| |
| − | * x12 triple [[Beam Laser]] [[turret]]s, forming two batteries each of 6 linked [[turret]]s

| |
| − | | [[Smallcraft|Craft]]
| |
| − | | ''Commercial Hangers''
| |
| − | Internal commercial [[Hanger|hanger]] space amounts to 1100 [[Ton|dTons]]. Ships berthing within the [[Hanger|hanger]] require their displacement tonnage x1.1 in terms of space: [[spacecraft|ships]] of greater than 500 [[Ton|dTons]] are generally unable to enter the [[Hanger|hanger]] due to size restrictions.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''Flight Section''
| |
| − | * x2 40-[[Ton|dTon]] [[Fringian Ship’s Boat|Ship’s Boats]], housed within the commercial hangers.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It is not unusual for Commercial Tenders to dispose of these vessels, replacing them with a single smaller [[smallcraft]] such as a [[Fringian Pinnace|Pinnace]].
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | 9.
| |
| − | | [[Fuel Purification Plant|Fuel Treatment]]
| |
| − | | The vessel has internal fuel tankage of 1,170 [[Ton|dTon]]s.
| |
| − | * 400 [[Ton|dTons]] of fuel is commercially available.
| |
| − | * The hull is fitted with [[fuel scoop]]s.
| |
| − | * The vessel is equipped with [[fuel purification]] equipment.

| |
| − | | [[Imperial Currency|Cost]]
| |
| − | | The basic cost of the vessel, complete with its complement of [[small craft|subcraft]], is [[MCr]]2,043.918
| |
| − | * 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 [[MCr]]1,635.135.
| |
| − | * The vessel and its [[small craft|subcraft]] are standard designs. Detailed architectural plans are widely available and no design fee is chargeable.

| |
| − | | 11.
| |
| − | | [[Naval Architecture|Construction Time]]
| |
| − | | 84 weeks (21 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.
| |
| − | | Comments
| |
| − | | Standard [[cargo hold|cargo capacity]] amounts to 66 [[Ton|dTon]]s, though [[Hanger|hanger]] space may be used to store cargo.
| |
| − | * The [[cargo hold]] can be sealed and has independent [[Life Support|life support]] and environmental systems.
| |
| − | * Sections of the [[cargo Hold|hold]] may be isolated if desired and can be provided with specialized environmental conditions, typically refrigeration.
