The Type RT class Longliner is a TL–14 Longliner. This design has been copied across the Imperium by Tukera Lines as a workhorse of its fleet. In some places it has designed as the Tukera Long-liner, the Pride of Vland-class or the Margret-class liners.

Description

Using a 1000-ton streamlined hull, the Tukera Long Liner is a main-route passenger transport serving much of the Imperium. It mounts a jump drive V, maneuver drive E, and power plant V to supply power for one month of continuous operation, giving performance of Jump-4 and 1G acceleration. Fuel tankage supports a month of operations and one Jump-4. On the bridge is a Model/4 computer. There are 50 staterooms and 5 emergency low berths.

The ship has five hardpoints. Only one triple turret is usually installed; it carries a heterogeneous mix of one beam laser, one missile rack, and one sandcaster.

The ship carries one vehicle: a 20-ton launch, grappled to the hull. Cargo capacity for the long-liner is 130 tons.

The Long Liner requires a crew of 14: captain/pilot, navigator, 6 engineers, medic, 3 stewards, and gunner. The pilot or astrogator operates the launch. The ship can carry up to 36 passengers.
