Description (Specifications)
Rule of Man class Brigs were common Terran vessels that saw service towards the end of the Second Imperium. They were small warships mainly used on patrol, military, and anti-corsair missions. The few surviving examples of the class are historical artifacts housed in museums or kept in private collections.
Using an 800 ton armored streamlined saucer hull, the Rule of Man Brig 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 208 ton supports the power plant and allows one Jump-2. Adjacent to the bridge is a model/5 computer. There are 17 staterooms with double occupancy. There are eight turrets mounted with fire control. Installed on the hard-points are a triple sand caster in a single battery, three double plasma gun turrets with six firing batteries, and two triple beam laser turrets and two triple missile turrets each grouped into a single battery. There is an Air Raft and there is a 4.0 ton hold. The Brig requires a crew of twenty nine.

History & Background (Dossier)
Rule of Man class Brigss were common Terran vessels that saw service towards the end of the Second Imperium. It was a typical starship of its period, with a heavily armored hull, over-engineered Jump-2 drives and powerful 6-G maneuver drives. The rugged little ships were popular and saw service long into the Long Night. Hundreds of examples of the vessel still exist, though most are derelict, skeletal hulks that populate "mothball fleet" graveyards dating to the Rule of Man. A few examples have been restored.
