Description (Specifications)
The Light Transport is a military transport vessel that sees service within the Rimward Federation and among the rimward worlds of the Distant Fringe. It is classified as a Replenishment Vessel and is constructed as a long-range design. Similar designs have been in use from the time the Distant Fringe was first settled. The vessel is a TL–10 design.
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.

No. | Category | Remarks |
1. | Tonnage / Hull | 600 tons. The Light Transport is constructed using a 600 dTon hull built in a wedge configuration. The hull is fully streamlined: the ship is equipped with fuel scoops.
|
2. | Crew | The Light Transport requires 7 crew: 1x Pilot, 1x Navigator, 2x Engineers, 2x Gunners, and 1x Medic. Individual accommodations are provided to all crew: if the crew go double occupancy up to 3 staterooms are available to paying passengers. |

The ship has an Agility rating of 0 and an Emergency Agility of 1. There is fuel tankage of 246 dTons, sufficient for four jump-1s and giving the power plant four weeks duration. The vessel is fitted with a fuel purification plant.

4. | Electronics | Adjacent to the bridge is a computer model/4 fib.
|
5. | Hardpoints | The ship is fitted with 6 turrets. |

History & Background (Dossier)
Nine in service. Designed and built at Dal Hallen for the Rimward Federation. They are posted in several systems to support fleet elements for coordinated defense of the Federation.
The Rimward Federation Navy uses the Dal Hallen class for limited logistical support of deployed troop units and to bring supplies to major combatants. A large number of variants exist, particularly with regard to the fuel tankage and cargo storage, allotted weapons systems, onboard electronics, and the fit out of internal spaces. These vessels are much sought after by freelance traders.
Each crew member has their own private cabin, a rare luxury in the military. With double occupancy, up to 3 passengers can be carried.
Distant Fringe Vessels
The Distant Fringe is said to be a far spinward-rimward area inhabited by colonists and refugees originating on Terra. The region is extremely isolated, separated from the rest of Charted Space by vast, almost uncrossable rifts that were once broached by a system of calibration Points and the use of tankers. Those few academics within Charted Space who have found references to the Distant Fringe regard it as little more than a tall tale. Likewise, many of the inhabitants of the Distant Fringe believe the existence of Charted Space to be mythical.[3]
Vessels originating within the Distant Fringe are very rarely encountered outside of the region. However, misjumps do occur and anomalies with bizarre spacetime and Jumpspace effects exist: as such, craft of this type are not entirely unknown within Charted Space.[4]
