Revision as of 17:41, 15 July 2018 by Maksim-Smelchak (talk | contribs)
The Imperial Ship Profile is used by the Scout Service to classify ship mission and performance. It codes ship mission, tech level, size modifier and size indicator, jump and acceleration performance, configuration and features into one short record. Each position has a "factor" or value that represents an element of the ship; these include hull displacement tons, hull configuration, computer type, weapons, screens, fighters and the number of crew. It is known outside the Imperium as the Universal Ship Profile or USP.
Examples include:
- MT C4831U LC : merchant transport, tech level 12, 400dt, jump 3, g 1, unstreamlined, cold sleepers, lab
- VCR C2A23S ADNS : vargr cruise strike, 20000dt, jump 2, g 3, streamlined, armed, long duration, nonhumanoid, spinal mount weapon
- FI F3704A EKM : fighter imperial, tech level 15, 30dt, 4g, airframed, energy, kinetic and missile weapons
