Because [[SDB]]s have no [[jump drive]]s, shifting them from [[system]] to [[system]] can be a problem. Some types have [[jump shuttle]]s which fit to the craft and provide jump capability. Another method is simple transport in large [[bulk cargo carrier]]s; the [[SDB]]s are loaded into 10,000-ton or 20,000-ton [[bulk carrier]]s for the multi[[parsec]]  journey. This method, of course, is not recommended if immediate combat is expected at the destination. {{Page cite|name= Fighting Ships |page= 25 |version= Classic Traveller}}

The Flash class System Defense Boat is a light warship.

Description (Specifications)

Comments: The range of possible system defense boats is large, if not actually infinite. This boat is typical for tech level 15: heavily armored and equipped with both missile and laser weaponry. Its function is to operate within a star system and defend it from invading forces. SDBs can be used in space combat against starships, or they may be pressed into service as air and orbital superiority craft in operations against ground forces. [1]

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. [2]

History & Background (Dossier)

Because SDBs have no jump drives, shifting them from system to system can be a problem. Some types have jump shuttles which fit to the craft and provide jump capability. Another method is simple transport in large bulk cargo carriers; the SDBs are loaded into 10,000-ton or 20,000-ton bulk carriers for the multiparsec journey. This method, of course, is not recommended if immediate combat is expected at the destination. [15]
