Jembyra class Recovery Boat.

General Description

The Jembyra class was a small transport vessel with 3-G performance. It had a wedge-shaped profile and was fully streamlined, allowing atmospheric operations and enabling it to perform surface landings. Several have been modified to embark a Chimera class ATV.

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]
No.	Category	Remarks
1.	Tonnage / Hull	The Jembyra class is constructed using a 20 dTon hull built in a generally wedge-shaped configuration. The hull is fully streamlined with limited airfoil surfaces, giving average atmospheric performance that is further enhanced by its onboard gravitic systems. Individual sections of the ship are divided by bulkhead walls. The vessel has an airlock. The vessel has a sturdy retractable landing legs, allowing surface landings.
2.	Crew	Total Crew Complement: 1 x1 Pilot The vessel is fitted with grav plates and inertial compensators and has full life support and environmental systems. There are internal monitoring and security systems within the vessel. There are x2 small emergency lockers, one located within the cockpit and one located within the cargo hold.
3.	Performance	The vessel mounts a Maneuver-3 drive and a Power Plant-3, giving performance of 3-G acceleration. The ship has an agility rating of 3. The internal fuel tankage is sufficient to give the power plant approximately 7 weeks duration. The engineering section is controlled from the cockpit. Access to the machinery can be gained via a sealable hatch.
4.	Electronics	The cockpit contains x1 acceleration couch and control equipment. The vessel is fitted with a Model/1 Computer: no backup Computer is installed. The computer functions as a Model/0 due to the lack of a bridge. The vessel is fitted with communications equipment, a basic sensor array, and has an avionics suite. It has a transponder unit that can be deactivated on command.
5.	Hardpoints	x1 hardpoint. The listed weapons systems are typical for the class.
6.	Armament	x1 triple missile turret, forming its own battery. Each launcher mounts standard Anti-Shipping Missiles.
7.	Defenses	The hull is unarmored. The vessel is not fitted with screens or other passive defensive systems.
8.	Craft	None.
9.	Fuel Treatment	The vessel has internal fuel tankage of 1 dTon. The hull is fitted with intrinsic fuel scoops. The vessel is not equipped with fuel purification equipment and can work efficiently using unrefined fuel.
10.	Cost	The basic cost of the vessel is MCr12.925 Architects Fee: MCr0.129 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 of each unit to MCr10.340
11.	Construction Time	24 weeks 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	The vessel has 11.1 dTons of cargo space. The hold has independent life support and environmental systems. It can be sealed and isolated.

History & Background (Dossier)

Jembyra class Recovery Boats were common utility craft of the Jelmiri Marches.

Large numbers of the craft were built.

Production of Jembyras effectively ceased in 1100, following the Jaibok invasion of the Marches and the destruction of the naval construction yards at Jelmirt. Many examples of the class remain in service, some with the Loyalist forces of the Percavid Marches.

Class Naming Practice/s & Peculiarities

Vessel Peculiarities:
The origins of the Jembrya lie with the Jeremey class Recovery Boat, a type of vessel that was supplied in two visually similar but internally very different versions, the "A" and the "B". These were so distinct that the Jeremey B was eventually hived of to become its own separate class.

The design did not have sufficient power for lasers or energy weapons, restricting weapons options to missiles or sandcasters.

Class Naming Practice/s:
Vessels of the Jelmiri Marches did not use the alphanumeric designations common to other designs of the region, instead using only a "callsign" name.

Jembyra was selected as an easy to remember class name to identify the specific type of vessel.
Individual vessels are generally named by their crews.
