The Heavy Pinnace is constructed using a 30-dTon hull built in a generally cone-shaped configuration. The hull is fully streamlined.
- Individual sections of the ship are divided by bulkhead walls. Sections of the ship can be isolated in the event of an emergency.
- The hull includes internal grav plates and inertial compensators. All accessible sections of the hull have life support.
Engineering
The vessel mounts a maneuver-4 drive and a power plant 4, giving performance of 4G acceleration. There is fuel tankage of 1 dTon, giving the power plant 4 weeks duration.
Main Section

There are eight passenger acceleration couches located in the main body of the craft, plus an additional acceleration couch located in the cockpit adjacent to the pilot's position, and three small staterooms. The craft has a cargo capacity of 10 dTons.
- The vessel is fitted with communications equipment, a basic sensor array, and an avionics suite.
Crew

Weapons
The ship has one triple sandcaster turret.
Subcraft

Cost
The basic cost of the vessel is MCr18.450.
- The ship is a standard design. Detailed architectural plans are widely available and no design fee is chargeable.
- If multiple examples of the design are ordered it qualifies for a 20% discount, which reduces the total price to MCr14.760.
History
An ubiquitous design used throughout the Distant Fringe. The design is representative and a large number of variants exist, particularly with regard to the allotted weapons systems, onboard electronics, and the fit out of internal spaces.
