The [[Fringian Commercial Tender|Commercial Tender]] is a large commercial [[starship]].

== 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.

| [[Crew]]

| x44 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 x1 medic. Stewards may be taken on as necessary to attend to passengers.
 
−
 
 
−
''Accommodations''
 
−
* There are 100 [[Stateroom]]s.
 
−
** 44 Staterooms are given over to the crew. Single occupancy accommodations are provided for all crewmembers.
 
−
** 56 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.
 
−
* The vessel has a 3 [[Ton|dTon]] secure locker.
 
−
 
 
−
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 [[Ship Fuel|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.

| [[Ship's Weapon|Armament]]

| ''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]].

−
| [[Fuel Purification Plant|Fuel Treatment]]
 
−
| The vessel has internal [[Fuel Tank|fuel tankage]] of 1,170 [[Ton|dTon]]s.
 
−
* 400 [[Ton|dTons]] of [[Ship Fuel|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.

−
| [[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.

| 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.

== History / Background ==
 
−
The design is representative and a large number of variants exist, particularly with regard to the allotted [[Starship Weapon|weapons systems]], onboard [[electronics]], and the fit out of internal spaces. The vessel uses the same basic [[hull]] as the [[Fringian Provincial Freighter|Provincial Freighter]].
 
−
* Vessels of this type are employed in the [[Recovery Trade]].

−
=== Class Naming Practice/s & Peculiarities ===
