Starships are designed with the Classic Traveller format, using High Guard Shipyard v1.13 written by Andrea Vallance.

The TBD class Battleship is a heavy warship.

• It is a military ship and a Battleship.

Description (Specifications)

Although this ship was designed as a close escort, it is slow. It saving grace is that it carries heavy armor and can withstand more massive punishments than most ships of its class. It carries a squad of marines for boarding actions and an assault sled for ground attacks, which provides it with a more flexible mission profile.
