The ''Model 292'' is listed as having a single crew member/pilot. In reality these ships are fitted with robotic pilots who can launch and fly the vessels to near by planets within a system. To hold so many people it is necessary to use 73 emergency low berths, each holding four people. We are well aware of the risks involved with this form of travel. The risk is seen as worthwhile to preserve life for an indeterminate amount of time while awaiting rescue. Twenty four hours of air won't do you much good if the nearest rescue vessels will take weeks to jump to the rescue.  
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. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (thousands of tons) where necessary. {{Page cite|name= Fighting Ships |page= 10 |version= Classic Traveller}}

The Model 292 class Life Boat is a TL–15 dedicated Life Boat.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

The Model 292 life boat is an integral part of the Independence of the Stars class Interstellar Liner. The Liner carries 30 of these 100 ton life boats, enough to carry everyone to safety in the case of an emergency.

The Model 292 is listed as having a single crew member/pilot. In reality these ships are fitted with robotic pilots who can launch and fly the vessels to near by planets within a system. To hold so many people it is necessary to use 73 emergency low berths, each holding four people. We are well aware of the risks involved with this form of travel. The risk is seen as worthwhile to preserve life for an indeterminate amount of time while awaiting rescue. Twenty four hours of air won't do you much good if the nearest rescue vessels will take weeks to jump to the rescue.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Built in orbit at Template:Worlds for a group of hedge funds who had partnered with military naval architects, who were desperate for work. Safety and reassuring first time space travellers is a priority of the Cruise Line's customer service. Elaborate evacuation and life boat muster drills are an essential part of passengers' first day on board, regardless of the length of the cruise.
