Starships are designed with the Classic Traveller format, using High Guard Shipyard v1.13 written by Andrea Vallance.

Fearless class Fighters are large, expensive, and basic Heavy Fighters.

Description (Specifications)

Fearless class Heavy Fighters are designed to operate from Stormbringer class Fleet Tenders. They serve as part of The Democratic People's Defense Forces, the military of the Winston Democracy.

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]

Basic Ship Characteristics [2]
No. Category Remarks
1. Tonnage The Fearless class is constructed using an 80 Ton hull built in a wedge configuration. The hull is fully streamlined, giving excellent atmospheric performance assisted by its onboard gravitic systems. It is equipped with fuel scoops.
  • The vessel has a sturdy retractable undercarriage, allowing surface landings.
  • The vessel is fitted with 1 airlock.
2. Crew 2 personnel. 1 command/pilot, 1 engineering/electronics.
  • Two Small Craft Staterooms: officially they are single occupancy, but in practice one is typically fitted with two crew bunks while the second functions as a galley, a fresher and an office, depending on needs.
    • Accessible areas of the hull are fitted with grav plates and inertial compensators and have full life support and environmental systems. There are internal monitoring and security systems throughout the vessel. There is an emergency locker.
3. Performance The vessel mounts a Maneuver-5 drive and a Power Plant-5, giving performance of 5-G acceleration. The ship has an agility rating of 5. There is fuel tankage of 4 Tons, giving the power plant 4 weeks duration.
  • The engineering section is controlled from the bridge. Access to the machinery can be gained via a sealable hatch.
4. Electronics Adjacent to the small craft bridge is a computer model/2: no backup computer is installed.
  • The vessel is fitted with communications equipment, a standard sensor array, and an avionics suite.
  • It has a transponder unit that can be deactivaed on command.
  • It is equipped with a sophisticated ECM package.
5. Hardpoints x1 hardpoint.
6. Armament The normal weapons fit-out for a Fearless class is:
7. Defenses The hull is plated, structurally reinforced, and built with secure bulkheads and compartments that give it a High Guard armor rating of 7.
  • The vessel is not fitted with screens or other passive defensive systems.
8. Craft The vessel carries no dedicated subcraft.
9. Fuel Treatment The vessel is not fitted with fuel purification equipment.
10. Cost The basic cost of the vessel is MCr99.80
  • Architects Fee: MCr0.998
11. Construction Time 24 weeks (5.5 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 capacity amounts to 0.2 Tons: it functions as a magazine for additional missiles.

History & Background

Fearless class Heavy Fighters are streamlined and for their size have a very heavily armored hull. They offer 5G acceleration, are agile and armed with a pair of missile racks. The two man crew each have their own small stateroom for comfort on long system patrols. They are part of the The Democratic People's Defense Forces.
