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.

Basic Ship Characteristics

No.	Category	Remarks
1.	Tonnage	The TC18 Hocdef class Colonial Cruiser is constructed using a 1,200 Ton hull built in a dispersed structure configuration. The hull is unstreamlined and is incapable of wilderness refueling. The vessel has three airlocks. The cargo hold is accessed by a large bay doors that also serves to anchor docking clamps for service vehicles.
2.	Crew	x103 personnel. x11 command, 3 engineering, 6 gunnery, 45 flight, 2 service and 36 marines in 54.5 double occupancy staterooms. Accommodations There are 54.5 Staterooms. All Staterooms are given over to the crew. All crew quarters are double occupancy. There are 10 Low Berths. 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-4 drive, and an upgraded fusion Power Plant-4, giving performance of Jump-1 and 4-G acceleration. The ship has an agility rating of 3 and an emergency agility of 4. The internal fuel tankage is sufficient for two Jump-1s and gives the power plant 4 weeks duration. It is fitted with drop tanks, should extended range operations be required. The engineering section has a main control room. The jump drive utilizes a lanthanum hull grid.
