The [[Caine class Troop Transport]] is a {{TL|11}} long-range passenger and cargo transport vessel.
* Please also see [[AAB]] article: [[Ships of the Distant Fringe]].
* Please also see [[AAB]] article: [[Warships of the Distant Fringe]].
 
== Description ([[Specifications]]) ==
The ''Caine'' class are [[Long-Range Pattern Starship|long-range]] [[paramilitary]] transports and carry enough internal [[fuel]] for two Jump-2s and a reserve Jump-1. They can be fitted with [[drop tank]]s as needed in order to cross larger [[rift]] zones. The design includes [[Fuel Scoop|scoops]] and [[Fuel Purification Plant|onboard purification]] for wilderness refueling, should that opportunity present itself. The craft is capable of 2-G acceleration giving good performance within the gravity wells of most [[gas giant]]s.

The vessel is fitted with 100 [[Low Berth Rack|low berth]]s and has sufficient accommodations to house 100 [[Middle Passage|middle passenger]]s and 100 [[High Passage|high passenger]]s. It is fitted with a pair of [[Model/5fib Computer]]s, a remnant of its [[paramilitary]] origins and former role as a [[troop transport]]. The thick [[bulkhead]]s and [[Hatchway|hatches]] are utilitarian and the entire vessel lacks the style and grace of similar purpose-built liners. It carries twenty 20 [[Ton|dTon]] [[Marrel Veckor class Lifeboat]]s. ''ODS'' class vessels have multiple [[hardpoint]]s but are not routinely armed.

=== General Description ===
The ''Caine'' class Troop Transport is a partially streamlined [[Cylinder Hull|cylinder]] with a mean diameter of 28 [[meter]]s and a length of around 130 [[meter]]s. Some elements of the [[hull]] are narrower and some are wider, giving the vessel a total enclosed volume of approximately 81,000 [[Kiloliter|cubic meter]]s.

Much of the interior space is given over to the vessels large [[fuel tank]]s, which form the majority of the central and rear sections of the ship, though access ways and [[workstation]]s are located among them. The cargo hold includes the cryogenic (low berth) section. Working sections of the vessel such as the laundry, the [[galley]]s and general crew quarters are located aft. Senior officers are accommodated forward, close to the [[bridge]], while [[steward]]s have rooms close to passenger cabins. Middle passage accommodations are found in the less desirable midsection of the vessel while first class cabins are located forward. There is a primary [[mess hall]] and an exercise deck.

=== 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}}

| 1.
| [[Ton|Tonnage]] / [[Hull]]
| The ''Caine'' class Troop Transport is constructed using a 6000 [[Ton|dTon]] [[hull]] built in a [[Cylinder Hull|cylindrical]] configuration. The hull is [[Partially Streamlined Hull|partially streamlined]], giving a reasonable [[Atmosphere|atmospheric]] performance that is fundamentally reliant on its [[Gravity Control Technology|gravitic]] systems.
* Individual sections of the ship are divided by [[Bulkhead Wall|bulkhead wall]]s.
* There are multiple personnel [[airlock]]s located around the vessel. The [[cargo hold]] is accessed by large doors and has a loading ramp.
* The vessel has sturdy [[Landing Gear|retractable legs]], allowing surface landings.
|-
| 2.
| [[Crew]]
| Total Crew Complement: x70

x9 Command, x9 [[Engineer]]ing, x7 [[Gunner]]s, and x18 [[Service Crew]]: these double up as flight crew for the vessel's intrinsic [[subcraft]] as required. In addition, the vessel carries x2 [[Medic]]s.

''Accommodations'' <br>
There are x250 [[Stateroom]]s.
* x50 [[Stateroom]]s are given over to [[Crew Quarters|crew quarters]]. The officers and senior staff have individual cabins: all other quarters are double occupancy.
** x1 crew [[Stateroom]] is fitted out as a fully equipped [[Sick Bay|medical bay]].
* x200 [[Stateroom]]s are available to [[Middle Passage|troop]]s, who typically travel double or triple occupancy and are expected to cater for themselves. Officers receive individual cabins and are attended by a personal orderly.

There are 100 [[Cold sleep#Low berth|Low Berth]]s, tended by the ship's [[Medic]]s and properly trained staff.

Accessible areas of the [[hull]] are fitted with [[grav plate]]s and [[inertial compensator]]s and have full [[Life Support|life support]] and [[Ship Environmental Control|environmental systems]].
* There are internal monitoring and security systems throughout the vessel. Sections of the ship can be isolated in the event of an emergency.
* There are multiple [[Emergency Locker]]s.

| 3.
| [[Maneuver Drive|Performance]]
| The vessel mounts a [[DeVoss Drive|DeVoss]]-type [[Jump]]-2 drive, a [[Maneuver Drive|Maneuver]]-2 drive and a [[Power Plant]]-2, giving performance of [[jump]]-2, 2-G acceleration, and producing 120 [[Energy Point]]s. The ship has an agility rating of 1 and an emergency agility of 2. The internal [[Fuel Tank|fuel tankage]] is sufficient for two consecutive [[Jumpspace|Jump]]-2s and one additional [[Jumpspace|Jump]]-1 and gives the [[power plant]] 6 [[week]]s duration.
* The engineering section has a main control room.
** Ladders, gantries and platforms give access to the machinery.
* The jump drive utilizes a hull grid.
* The jump drive is fitted with a [[jump governor]].
|-
| 4.
| [[Ship's Computer|Electronics]]
| Adjacent to the [[bridge]] is a [[Model/5_Computer#Model.2F5fib|Model/5fib Computer]]: no backup [[computer]] is installed.
* There are multiple [[workstation]]s and [[Control Panel|control points]] throughout the vessel.
* The vessel is fitted with [[Communications Equipment#Shipboard Communications|communications equipment]], a standard [[Ship Sensor Suite|sensor array]], and has an [[Avionics]] suite.

The vessel is not fitted with [[screen]]s or other passive defensive systems.
|-
| 8.
| [[Smallcraft|Craft]]
| ''Flight Section''
* x20 20-[[Ton|dTon]] [[Marrel Veckor class Lifeboat|''Marrel Veckor'' class Lifeboat]]s.
The [[subcraft]] are housed in dedicated [[hangar]]s located all around the ship: the [[hangar]]s can be sealed and have a total volume of 520 [[Ton|dTon]]s.
|-
| 9.
| [[Fuel Purification Plant|Fuel Treatment]]
| The vessel has internal [[Fuel Tank|fuel tankage]] of 3,180 [[Ton|dTon]]s.
* The hull is fitted with [[fuel scoop]]s.
* The vessel is equipped with a [[fuel purification plant]].
|-
| 10.
| [[Imperial Currency|Cost]]
| The basic cost of the vessel, complete with its complement of [[subcraft]], is [[MCr]]3,333.104.
* Architects Fee: [[MCr]]32.882.
* 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 per unit to [[MCr]]2,666.484.
|-
| 11.
| [[Naval Architecture|Construction Time]]
| 160 [[Week|week]]s (40 months) 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
| Standard [[Cargo Hold|cargo capacity]] amounts to 220 [[Ton|dTon]]s.
* The [[cargo hold]] can be subdivided into sections using removable [[Interior Wall|partition wall]]s.

== History & Background ([[Dossier]]) ==
''Caine'' class Troop Transports are used by the navy of the [[Bright Conclave]]. They are designed to operate within the [[Great Void]], a huge [[rift]] region lying [[rimward]] of the [[Distant Fringe]]. A number of examples were decommissioned and sold, ultimately being converted to [[Orowani Deep Space class Light Liner|''ODS'' class Liner]]s.
