-[[Fib]] indicates the presence of a [[fiber optic computer]],  which is better hardened to survive cosmic radiation and combat damage.
-* Please also see: [[Fiber Optic Computer]]
-== Description ([[Specifications]]) ==
-A ''Ship’s Computer'' also transmits control impulses for [[Maneuver Drive|maneuver]] and [[jump drive]]s, and conducts the routine operation of all [[ship]] systems. What the computer actually does is based on the [[program]]s actually installed and operating at any one time. {{Page cite|name= Starships|page=38|version=Classic Traveller}}
-=== Selected Ship's Computer Types ===
-# [[Model/1 Computer]]
-# [[Model/2 Computer]]
-# [[Model/3 Computer]]
-# [[Model/4 Computer]]
-# [[Model/5 Computer]]
-# [[Model/6 Computer]]
-# [[Model/7 Computer]]
-# [[Model/8 Computer]]
-# [[Model/9 Computer]]
-=== Selected Ship's Computer Modifiers ===
-* [[bis]] - From the old [[Terra (world)|Terran]] French word ''bis'', which translates as "again".
-** It is functionally an enhanced computer.
-* [[fib]] - A contraction of [[Fibre Optic Computer]].
-** It is functionally a computer protected against [[EMP]] or excess [[radiation]].
-== History & Background ([[Dossier]]) ==
-''Ship’s Computers'' within [[Charted Space]] are intentionally built to work under a number of different operating systems, different [[technology level]]s of [[computer]]s, and to be extensively toughened for use under hard [[vacuum]] and heavy exposure to cosmic radiation if necessary. {{Unpublished cite|author= [[Maksim-Smelchak]] }}
-=== Computer Overview ===
-One overall [[Ship's Computer|computer]] for the [[ship]] must be specified; the basic requirement for this computer is based on the [[ton]]nage of the ship. The catalogued computer models indicate the model number, price, tonnage, [[CPU]], and storage minimum ship size, [[energy point]] requirement, and [[tech level]]. {{Page cite|name= High Guard |page= 28 |version=Classic Traveller}}
-* ''Model number'' is the relative size of the computer, and corresponds to the computer model numbers in earlier ship catalogues.
-** [[Model/1]] [[fib]] is the same computer with a [[fiber optic back-up system]] to resist radiation damage.
-** [[Model/1]] [[bis]] is an improved version of the standard model with greater [[program]] handling capacity.
-* ''Prices'' are given in [[megacredit]]s.
-* ''[[Ton]]nage'' is the number of interior [[ton]]s required for the installation of the computer.
-* ''[[CPU]] and storage capacity'' are included for use regarding [[computer programming]].
-* ''Ship size'' shows the hull tonnage code which requires a certain computer as a minimum. For instance, a 10,000 ton ship has hull code K, and requires at least a [[Model/4]] computer to be installed.
-* ''[[Tech level]]'' shows the minimum expected [[tech level]] required to build the indicated computer.
-* ''[[Energy point]]'' requirement is the number of [[energy point]]s which must be committed to powering the computer.
-''Computer model'' also indicates the size of the jump which the [[Ship's Computer|computer]] can safely control.{{Page cite|name= High Guard |page= 28 |version=Classic Traveller}}
-*  A [[Model/1]] computer is required on a ship which makes a Jump-1 trip, a [[Model/5]] computer is required on a ship which makes a Jump-5 trip.
-* Computer models greater than [[Model/6]] do not allow greater jumps, and in any case, the ship would require the appropriate jump drive.
-* The [[Bis]] models are capable of controlling a jump one higher than their model numbers. [[Model/1]] [[bis]] is capable of controlling a Jump-2 trip.
-* Models [[bis]] and [[fib]] are often notated with a letter in parentheses after the model number. This letter is the [[Universal Ship Profile]] code for the computer. Thus, the [[USP]] code for a [[Model/5]] [[fib]] is E.
