The Bengal class Carrier is a combatant warship.

Description (Specifications)

Bengal class Carriers were designed for service with the Bain Defense Squadron, the space force of Bain, a Solomani world lying in Spica Sector. Though they are tiny by the standards of Solomani Confederation vessels they are occasionally called upon for Confederation service. They serve as flagships for Fighter groups, typically carrying two small composite squadrons. Bengals are partially streamlined, primarily to allow wilderness refueling.

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. [1]

Basic Ship Characteristics [2]
No. Category Remarks
1. Tonnage The Bengal class is constructed using a 1,000 Ton hull built in a Close Structure configuration. The hull is partially streamlined, giving a relatively limited atmospheric performance that is reliant on its onboard gravitic systems.
  • There are 8 airlocks located around the vessel. The cargo hold is accessed by large doors and has a loading ramp.
  • The vessel has sturdy retractable legs, allowing surface landings.
2. Crew 23 personnel.
  • x1 Pilot, x1 Navigator, x4 Engineers, x1 Medic, x2 Gunners, x14 Flight Crew.

Accommodations

  • There are 11.5 Staterooms. All quarters are double occupancy.

Accessible areas of the hull are fitted with grav plates and inertial compensators and have full life support and environmental systems.

  • There are internal monitoring and security systems throughout the vessel. Individual sections of the hull can be sealed off.
  • There are multiple emergency lockers.
3. Performance The vessel mounts a Jump-1 drive, a Maneuver-2 drive, and a Power Plant-2, giving performance of Jump-1 and 2-G acceleration. The ship has an agility rating of 1 and an emergency agility of 2. The internal fuel tankage is sufficient for two consecutive Jump-1s 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 lanthanum hull grid.
  • The jump drive is fitted with a jump governor.
4. Electronics Adjacent to the bridge is a Model/3 computer: no backup computer is installed.
  • There are multiple workstations and control points throughout the vessel.
  • The vessel is fitted with communications equipment, a standard sensor array, and has an avionics suite.
    • It is fitted with backup commo and sensor systems.
  • It has a transponder unit that can be deactivated on command.
  • It is equipped with a sophisticated ECM package.
5. Hardpoints 10 hardpoints.
6. Armament The normal weapons fit-out for
7. Defenses The hull is unarmored.
  • The vessel is not fitted with screens or other passive defensive systems.
8. Craft Flight Section

The Fighters are housed in a large dedicated hanger with a total volume of 352 Tons: areas of the hanger can be sealed off. The hangers have multiple sets of large doors.

  • The listed Fighters are a typical complement: different combinations may be carried to meet the requirements of specific missions.
9. Fuel Treatment The vessel has internal fuel tankage of 220 Tons.
  • The hull is fitted with fuel scoops.
  • The vessel is equipped with a fuel purification plant that can refine all onboard fuel in a few hours: the plant is operated and maintained by the engineering crew.
10. Cost The basic cost of the vessel is MCr415.655
  • Architects Fee: MCr4.157
11. Construction Time 120 weeks (28 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 Standard cargo capacity amounts to 37 Tons.
  • The cargo hold can be sealed and has independent life support and environmental systems.

History & Background (Dossier)

They carry a single Missile bay to bombard enemy targets. They carry a pair of small composite fighter squadrons and each is a blend of different designs. A slightly obsolete Model 3 fib computer is installed. There is enough fuel on board for two jump 1s. They are designed and built on Bain. More than half of the crew are fighter pilots.
