Description (Specifications)
The Lauritson Unsupported Picket Ship (UPS) is a Gazelle-class Close Escort modifed to perform as a fleet or independent ("unsupported") picket. As with its Gazelle forebear, the Lauritson is a tight design, requiring four of its 22 crewmembers to "hot bunk."
Of the extra crew above the Gazelle complement, one mans the drone control MFD at a workstation in the ventral drone pod, one mans a bridge "repeater" station for the drone MFD as the second electronics crew member, another is dedicated maintenance crew for the sensor drones, and the fourth is a medic, carried because the Unsupported Picket Ships (UPS)s are often used for long-duration independent missions.
The drone pod displaces the small craft carried by the Gazelle, plus the ventral laser barbette, totalling 26 tons. The pod has space for three MOLRASP (Maneuvering Off-board Long Range Active Sensor Platform) drones. These drones are detailed at the bottom of the page. The "Lad" notation under sensors is a ladar sensor.
Without drop tanks, the Lauritson consumes 889.872 MW. With tanks attached, only 739.872 MW are needed. Although streamlined with the drop tanks attached, the Lauritson only has contra-grav performance for 300 tons, not 400. 2665 m3 of fuel total, 1345 carried in 2 50- ton drop tanks, 1 320 internal. 11 20 m3 fuel for Jump-3 with tanks attached, 1260 m3 for jump 5 without tanks. Fuel purification machinery (7.6 MW), 10.52 hours to refine 2665 m3. Drop tanks are armored to same level as ship, and equipped with EMM.
