The [[Burning Sky class Merchant Schooner]] is a {{TL|10}} designed commercial [[Starship]].
 +
 +
== Description ==
 +
The vessel has a [[streamlined]], generally [[saucer-shaped hull]] with a "teardrop" profile and a distinctive side-mounted [[bridge]]. It requires a crew of 8. It is fitted with [[fuel scoop]]s and a [[fuel purification plant]] allowing it to perform wilderness refuelling. It is a basic but reliable vessel with a spacious hold accessed by a ventral ramp. Many locally-modified variants of the design exist, usually with different numbers of [[stateroom]]s and [[low berth]]s, the addition of [[subcraft]] or [[vehicle]]s, or upgraded performance and electronics. This vessel normally carries no offensive or defensive equipment.
 +
 
 +
=== 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]]. [[Ton]]nage on the [[universal ship profile]] is shown in [[kiloton]]s (...thousands of [[ton]]s) where necessary. {{Page cite|name= Fighting Ships |page= 10 |version= Classic Traveller}}

The Burning Sky class Merchant Schooner is a TL–10 designed commercial Starship.

Description

The vessel has a streamlined, generally saucer-shaped hull with a "teardrop" profile and a distinctive side-mounted bridge. It requires a crew of 8. It is fitted with fuel scoops and a fuel purification plant allowing it to perform wilderness refuelling. It is a basic but reliable vessel with a spacious hold accessed by a ventral ramp. Many locally-modified variants of the design exist, usually with different numbers of staterooms and low berths, the addition of subcraft or vehicles, or upgraded performance and electronics. This vessel normally carries no offensive or defensive equipment.

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.
