The Entremis class Military Transport is a armed logistical support vessel used to facilitate military operations on and around Entremis (world).
Description (Specifications)
A locally built vessel which has fallen under the influence of the Unity of Sed's expansion into the area knows as the Dependent Worlds, in the Halcyon Sector. this class is equipped for long range operations required along the Distant Fringe. The cargo bay can be converted to quarters or for lowberths to move military personnel. It can be used to deliver supplies into warzones and is armed and armored to protect itself.
- The vessel is a TL 11 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 craft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (thousands of tons) where necessary. [1]
No. | Category | Remarks |
---|---|---|
1. | Tonnage | 8000 tons. The Transport is constructed using a custom 8,000 dTon hull built in a partially streamlined cylindrical structure. The ship is equipped with fuel scoops and on board purification. They are capable of gas giant refueling. The hull is divided into sub sections by thick bulkheads and is heavily compartmentalized and reinforced. Sections of the ship can be isolated in the event of an emergency.
|
2. | Crew | The Transport requires 125 crew: 11 command (7 officers and 4 ratings), 12 engineering (2 officers and 10 ratings), 9 gunnery (1 officer and 8 ratings), 12 flight (5 officers and 7 ratings), 16 service (2 officers and 14 ratings), and 65 marines (2 officers and 63 ratings). |
3. | Performance | The extended jump 2 range is appreciated strategically. The vessel mounts a 2G maneuver drive, and a 40,000 MW fusion power plant. The ship has an agility rating of 1 and an emergency agility of 2. There is fuel tankage of 3,360 dTons, sufficient for two jumps on internal fuel. The power plant has a four week duration. Drop tanks for an additional month of power plant fuel and another jump 2 are fitted.
|
4. | Electronics | Adjacent to the bridge is a computer model/5 fib. There are 125 staterooms, but no low berths. All staterooms are single occupancy for all crew, making it feel roomy and comfortable for long voyages. Double occupancy is possible for military applications. The cargo hold can hold additional modular barracks and lowberth racks, as needed. The Marine platoons have some orbital insertion capabilities, the rest rely on sub craft and grav vehicles. There are five drop capsule launchers and an additional thirty-four drop capsules ready to deliver a pathfinder platoon to scout and beacon mark LZs for the follow on lift infantry platoon.
|
5. | Hardpoints | 80 hardpoints. |
6. | Armament | The ship has 80 turrets with fire control. There are fifty triple missile turrets organized as five batteries, ten triple beam laser turrets in a single battery, ten dual plasma gun turrets in a single battery and ten triple sand caster turrets organized as a single battery. The hull features factor 3 armor to resist critical damage to vital systems which cripple ships. This weapons and defensive load out is for self defense and the vessel is not envisioned as an offensive weapons platform. |
7. | Defenses | No information yet available.
|
8. | Craft | The ship carries four 60 dton shuttles, four 4dton Air/Rafts, and four 8dton G-Carriers. |
9. | Fuel Treatment | The vessel has internal fuel tankage of 52,000 dTons.
|
10. | Cost | MCrTBD. |
11. | Construction Time | TBD months to build, TBD months in quantity. |
12. | Comments | TBD

History & Background / Dossier
With the expansion of the Unity of Sed this civilian design was appropriated. Seven of these redesigned "upgraded" merchant vessels were constructed and transferred to military control. The occupational forces have used them to ferry supplies to garrisons in the area of the Dependent Worlds. This takes advantage of the domestic shipbuilding abilities and shipyard capacity of Entremis. They are tough and durable vessels which have yielded dependable service thus far.
