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]
1. Tonnage / Hull The Free Trader is constructed using a 200 dTon hull built in a conical configuration. The hull is streamlined and has good atmospheric capability: its atmospheric handling characteristics are heavily reliant on its onboard gravitic systems.
2. Crew Total Crew Complement: x7

Accommodations
There are x11 Staterooms.

There are x10 Low Berths. They are tended by the vessel's steward.

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. Sections of the ship can be isolated in the event of an emergency.
  • There are multiple Emergency Lockers.
3. Performance / Engineering The vessel mounts a DeVoss-type Jump-2 drive, a Maneuver-2 drive and a Power Plant-2, giving performance of jump-2, 2-G acceleration and producing 4 Energy Points. The ship has an agility rating of 0 and an emergency agility of 2. The internal fuel tankage is sufficient for one Jump-2 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 hull grid.
  • The jump drive is fitted with a jump governor.
4. Main Section / Electronics Adjacent to the bridge is a Model/2 Computer: there is no backup computer.
5. Hardpoints x2 hardpoints.
  • The listed battery groupings are considered standard for the class. Alternative battery groupings may be designated for specific routes.
6. Armament / Weaponry The normal weapons fit-out for a Wulf is:

x1 triple Beam Laser turret, firing as an independent battery.

x1 triple Missile turret, firing as an independent battery.

7. Defenses The hull is unarmored.

The vessel is not fitted with screens or other passive defensive systems.

  • Such ship equipment may be retrofitted or added as part of a specialized package. Hull provisions have been made for these additions on the original plan with associated, supportive engineering.
8. Craft / Subcraft The vessel has no subcraft.
9. Fuel Treatment The vessel has internal fuel tankage of 44 dTons.
10. Cost The basic cost of the vessel is MCr107.200.
  • Both craft are standard designs. 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 per unit to MCr85.760.
11. Construction Time 44 weeks (9 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. Remarks Standard cargo capacity amounts to 60 dTons.
