Description / Specifications
The Heavy Lander is designed to ferry cargo and fuel between a world’s surface and close orbit. It is a common in-system transport vessel within the Distant Fringe and is often carried as a subcraft aboard large commercial vessels.
Hull
The Heavy Lander is constructed using a 1200 dTon hull built in a cylindrical configuration. The hull is fully streamlined and is equipped with fuel scoops. The craft is fitted with a purification plant capable of processing 900 dTons of hydrogen.
Engineering
The vessel mounts a maneuver-2 drive and a power plant 2, giving performance of 2G acceleration. There is fuel tankage of 24 dTons, giving the power plant four weeks duration. The ship carries a collapsible fuel tank with a capacity of 900 dTons.
Main
Adjacent to the bridge is a computer model/2: the vessel carries an additional backup computer model/2. The vessel has a secure locker with a capacity of 3 dTons. There are 15 staterooms and 20 low berths. Double occupancy is required for all except the command crew: 4 staterooms are available to passengers. Cargo capacity amounts to 900 dTons: the stowed collapsible fuel tank uses 45 dTons of cargo space.
- The Heavy Lander requires 16 crew: 5x command, 2x engineering, 3x gunnery, and 6x service. If the Lander is carried as a subcraft, the crew also serve as service and maintenance personnel aboard the parent vessel.
Weapons
The ship has 12 hardpoints, grouped into a single battery of 10 triple sandcasters: there are 2 unused hardpoints and 2 tons of space is set aside for fire control.
Subcraft
None.
Cost
The basic cost of the vessel is MCr425.113. The craft is a standard design and qualifies for a 20% discount, which reduces the total price to MCr340.091.
