Class A starports within the Distant Fringe construct and maintain starships of all kinds.

Specifications

All starports have a maximum capacity.

  • The total military jump-capable Fleet-in-being (the Navy) may not exceed the total listed capacity of the class A starport. Any amount of additonal military starships may be held in reserve (mothballed) but may not become active until sufficient starport capacity is available.
    • This closely corresponds to the nature of the planetary government, whether the world is considered to be at war or at peace, and the amount of its annual budget that the government expends on defense.
  • Mercantile Capacity represents the total displacement tonnage of commercial shipping that the port is considered to support. Such shipping is recorded as using the facilities at the port for their annual maintenance. By totalling the net displacement tonnage of commercial starships that have undergone maintenance, a good idea of the total overall commercial shipping operating within the Distant Fringe can be calculated.
    • The total displacement tonnage of operational commercial shipping within the Distant Fringe is reckoned to be around 127.8 million dTons. This corresponds to the local population level, which provides the workforce at the port.
    • The true total tonnage is certainly substantially greater, with many ships mothballed, in long-term storage, or otherwise out of service.
  • Commercial starships include paramilitary vessels operated by Starmercs and Security organisations.
