Description / Specifications
The Ship’s Boat is designed to ferry passengers between locations.
Hull
The Ship’s Boat is constructed using a 10-dTon hull built in a cone configuration. The hull is fully streamlined.
Engineering
The vessel mounts a maneuver-2 drive and a power plant 2, giving performance of 2G acceleration. There is fuel tankage of 1.1 dTons, giving the power plant 22 weeks duration.
