The Last Line class Fleet Courier is a TL–11 communications starship.

Description (Specifications)

It is a fully streamlined saucer structure with fuel scoops and on board fuel purification for wilderness ocean refueling. The maneuver drives develop 4G acceleration with a 4 agility rating. The ship is capable of Jump-2, and carries enough internal fuel for a Jump-2 with a Jump-1 reserve. They are fitted with 28 days of extra power plant fuel and well as another Jump-2 drop tank for increased range when crossing rift zones. It carries a model/2 fib ship computer adjacent to the main bridge. They use this class for reconnaissance and fleet communication while on patrol amid their seven star systems.

It is armed with a triple missile turret and has enough gunners, so that it can track and engage three different targets in a dog fight.

History & Background (Dossier)

Built locally at Jesel (Halcyon 0811) for the The Last Line, which is the youngest state within the Distant Fringe, located in the coreward/spinward quadrant of Halcyon Sector. Four in service.

The fleet deploys these in pairs to move on the two available 12,800 ton Jesel class Fleet Tenders. This allows the couriers to scout farther from the fleet.
