The Brown class Jump Ship is a transport starship.
- It is a civilian ship and a Jump Ship.
Description (Specifications)
The jump ship is designed to provide maximum flexibility in interstellar transportation. As built, it is capable of jump-6 and 1-G. Special field cables attached to the rear of the ship extend the ship's jump field to include this additional cargo. Alterations in displacement will affect the size of the jump itself, but the amount of cargo carried can be varied to fit the needs.
Capabilities: For each 1,000 tons of cargo carried in the mesh cables behind the ship, jump is decreased by one. Thus, if the 5,000-ton ship carries 1,000 tons behind it, it can only perform jump-5. If it carries 5,000 tons behind it, it can only perform jump-1. In all cases, the internal fuel tankage of the ship (3,300 tons) is sufficient to support the jump.
Jump Pods: The jump ship can transport valuable raw ores, planetoid chunks, and other materials directly in its jump mesh. Only durable goods can be carried in this manner because they are exposed directly to the vacuum of space. To allow the transport of other materials, jump pods have been constructed on a variety of designs. Typically, each displaces 1,000 tons and can function independently of the jump ship.
Some basic designs for jump pods include the following:
- Cargo Pod: A bulk cargo carrier displacing 1,000 tons and carrying approximately 950 tons of cargo. Several varieties are available, including special liquid tankers, bulk food or grain carriers, and compartmented transport containers. MCr100.
- Passenger Pod: A large pressurized hull with 225 staterooms, plus recreational facilities, safety compartmentalization, and fittings for comfort. MCr212.5.
- Low Pod: Similar to a passenger pod, the low pod is fitted with 1900 low berths for carrying people or animals long distances. MCr195.
Additional types of pods are possible, and have probably been produced somewhere in the Imperium.
