General Description

No information yet available.

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 subcraft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (...thousands of tons) where necessary. [1]

Basic Ship Characteristics [2]
No. Category Remarks
1. Tonnage / Hull The Launch is constructed using a 10 dTon hull built in a generally cone-shaped configuration. The hull is fully streamlined with limited airfoil surfaces, giving average atmospheric performance that is further enhanced by its onboard gravitic systems.
2. Crew Total Crew Complement: 1

Accommodations

The main compartment has x10 passenger acceleration couches.

The vessel is fitted with grav plates and inertial compensators and has full life support and environmental systems.

  • There are internal monitoring and security systems within the vessel.
  • There are x12 small emergency lockers, built into the structure of the couches.
3. Performance The vessel mounts a Maneuver-2 drive and a Power Plant-2, giving performance of 2-G acceleration and producing 0.2 Energy Points. The ship has an agility rating of 2. The internal fuel tankage is sufficient to give the power plant approximately 4 weeks duration.
  • The engineering section is controlled from the cockpit. Access to the machinery can be gained via a sealable hatch.
4. Electronics The cockpit contains x2 acceleration couches and control equipment. The vessel is fitted with a Model/1 Computer: no backup Computer is installed.
5. Hardpoints x1 hardpoint.
  • There is one unused hardpoint and 1 dTon is set aside for fire control.
6. Armament The Launch is unarmed.
7. Defenses The hull is unarmored.
  • The vessel is not fitted with screens or other passive defensive systems.
8. Craft The vessel carries no subcraft.
9. Fuel Treatment The vessel has internal fuel tankage of 1 dTon.
10. Cost The basic cost of the vessel is MCr6.160.
  • The ship is a standard design. Detailed architectural plans are widely available and no design fee is chargeable.
  • 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 of each unit to MCr4.928.
11. Construction Time 24 weeks (5.5 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 If the passenger couches are removed the craft has a cargo capacity of up to 5 dTons.
