A Heavy Pinnace is a type of smallcraft found operating within the Distant Fringe region.
- Please also see AAB article: Ships of the Distant Fringe.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
Within the Distant Fringe, a heavy pinnace is usually identified as a general purpose utility smallcraft with a displacement of less than 40 dTons. Frequently they are substantially smaller, averaging around 30 dTons. Heavy pinnaces most commonly serve as subcraft on a larger parent vessel and are typically housed within a specialized hangar.
- While aboard a parent vessel and not active as flight crew, the heavy pinnace's personnel may be assigned alternate duties such as service crew.
Heavy Pinnaces may also be encountered operating as in-system transports, ferrying personnel, supplies and equipment between outposts and settlements located on different worlds within a system.
Selected Example Ships[edit]
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
The convention of declaring a smallcraft of a certain displacement tonnage range as a heavy pinnace is a matter of local tradition. In reality there is no discernible difference between a large pinnace, a heavy pinnace, and a small launch.
Image Repository[edit]
