| − | This is a generic class of [[smallcraft]].
| + | No information yet available. |
| − | | |
| − | The Shuttle is a low-tech vessel designed to ferry cargo and passengers between locations. Similar designs have been in use from the time the [[Distant Fringe]] was first settled.
| |

| − | === 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]]. [[Ton]]nage on the [[universal ship profile]] is shown in [[kiloton]]s (thousands of tons) when necessary. {{Page cite|name= Fighting Ships |page= 10 |version= Classic Traveller}}

| − | | 1.
| |
| − | | [[Ton|Tonnage]]
| |
| − | | The Ship's Boat is constructed using a 90 [[Ton|dTon]] [[hull]] built in a generally [[Cone Hull|cone-shaped]] configuration. The [[hull]] is fully [[Streamlined Hull|streamlined]] and has airfoil surfaces, giving improved [[Atmosphere|atmospheric]] performance.
| |
| − | * Individual sections of the ship are divided by [[Bulkhead Wall|bulkhead wall]]s.
| |
| − | * The vessel has an [[airlock]].
| |
| − | * The vessel has a sturdy retractable [[Landing Gear|wheeled undercarriage]], allowing surface landings.

| |
| − | | [[Crew]]
| |
| − | | Total Crew Complement: 1
| |
| − | * x1 pilot. If the vessel is carried as a [[subcraft]], this individual serves as service crew aboard the parent vessel when not required for piloting duties.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''Accommodations''
| |
| | | | |
| − | There is 1 small [[stateroom]]. This typically serves as an office, [[galley]] or medical bay as necessary and contains a small fresher. It is set up for zero-gee activity.
| + | === Selected Example Ships === |
| − | | + | # [[Carrus class Shuttle]] |
| − | There are x4 [[Middle Passage|passenger]] [[acceleration couch]]es, located in a compartment directly behind the cockpit.
| + | # [[Vanguard class Shuttle]] |
| − | * The ship does not have [[grav plate]]s or [[inertial compensator]]s. The vessel has full [[Life Support|life support]] and environmental systems.
| |
| − | * There are internal monitoring and security systems throughout the vessel. Sections of the ship can be isolated in the event of an emergency.
| |
| − | * There are x5 small [[emergency locker]]s.

| − | | 3.
| |
| − | | [[Maneuver Drive|Performance]]
| |
| − | | The vessel mounts a [[Maneuver Drive|Maneuver]]-2 drive and a [[Fission]] [[Power Plant]]-2, giving performance of 2-G acceleration and producing 1.8 [[Energy Point]]s. The ship has an agility rating of 2. The internal [[Fuel Tank|fuel supply]] – largely consisting of heavy shielding surrounding a pellet of [[Radioactive|fissionable material]] – is sufficient to give the [[power plant]] approximately 3 [[week]]s duration.
| |
| − | * The engineering section is controlled from the cockpit. Access to the machinery can be gained via a sealable hatch.

| |
| − | | [[Ship's Computer|Electronics]]
| |
| − | | The cockpit area contains x1 pilots [[acceleration couch]] and [[Control Panel|control equipment]]. The vessel is fitted with a [[Model/1]] [[computer]]: no backup computer is installed.
| |
| − | * The vessel is fitted with [[Communications Equipment#Shipboard Communications|communications equipment]], a basic [[Ship Sensor Suite|sensor array]], and has an [[Avionics]] suite.
| |
| − | * It has a [[transponder]] unit that can be deactivated on command.

| |
| − | | The vessel has internal [[Fuel Tank|fuel tankage]] of 1.8 [[Ton|dTon]].
| |
| − | * The [[hull]] is fitted with intrinsic [[fuel scoop]]s. These are routed into the [[Cargo Hold|cargo hold]], allowing the vessel to act as a small [[Tanker]] if required.
| |
| − | * The vessel is not equipped with [[fuel purification]] equipment.

| |
| − | | [[Imperial Currency|Cost]]
| |
| − | | The basic cost of the vessel is [[MCr]]35.925.
| |
| − | * 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 all of the ships in the production run qualify for a 20% discount, which reduces the price of each unit to [[MCr]]28.740.

| − | | [[Naval Architecture|Construction Time]]
| |
| − | | 36 [[week]]s (9 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.
