TC14 / TC14b ''Ralmu'' class Destroyer <br> [[File:TC14b Ralmu.png|150 px]]

=== General Description ===
The [[TC14 Ralmu class Destroyer Leader]] is a destroyer class deployed by the [[Trooles Confederation]]. Examples of the class can be encountered throughout the coreward parts of [[Theta Borealis Sector]]. The vessel has a fully streamlined conical structure [[hull]]. It is fitted with fuel scoops and [[fuel purification plant]] allowing it to perform wilderness ocean refueling. These are used as flotilla leaders of smaller destroyers and other escort vessels.

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

| 1.
| [[Ton|Tonnage]] / [[Hull]]
| The ''TC14 Ralmu class Destroyer Leader'' is constructed using a 1,400 [[Ton]] [[hull]] built in a fully streamlined conical structure configuration. The hull is capable of wilderness ocean refueling.
* The vessel has two [[airlock]]s. The cargo hold is accessed by a large bay doors that also serves to anchor docking clamps for service vehicles.
|-
| 2.
| [[Crew]]
| x90 personnel.
* x11 command, x5 engineering, x10 gunnery, x7 flight, x3 service and x54 marines in 48 double occupancy staterooms.

''Accommodations''
* There are 48 [[Stateroom]]s.
** All Staterooms are given over to the crew. All crew quarters are double occupancy.
* There are 6 [[Low Berth]]s.

Accessible areas of the hull are fitted with [[grav plate]]s and [[inertial compensator]]s and have full life support and environmental systems.
* There are internal monitoring and security systems throughout the vessel. Individual sections of the hull can be sealed off.
* There are multiple [[emergency locker]]s.
|-
| 3.
| [[Maneuver Drive|Performance]]
| The vessel mounts a [[Jump Drive|Jump]]-2 drive, a [[Maneuver Drive|Maneuver]]-5 drive, and an upgraded fusion [[Power Plant]]-6, giving performance of Jump-2 and 5-G acceleration. The ship has an agility rating of 5 and an emergency agility of 5. The internal fuel tankage is sufficient for a Jump-2 and gives the [[power plant]] 4 weeks duration.  It is fitted with drop tanks, should extended range operations be required.
* The engineering section has a main control room.
* The jump drive utilizes a lanthanum hull grid.
* The jump drive is fitted with a [[jump governor]].
|-

| [[Ship's Computer|Electronics]]
| Adjacent to the bridge is a Model/5 fib [[computer]].
* There are multiple workstations and control points throughout the vessel.
* The vessel is fitted with communications equipment, a basic sensor array, and has an avionics suite.  They have system range laser, microwave and radio communication arrays.

| [[Fuel Purification Plant|Fuel Treatment]]
| The vessel has internal fuel tankage of 364 [[Ton]]s.  They are delivered with a new set of optional jump 2 drop tanks, which can be fitted as needed.
* The hull is fitted with [[fuel scoop]]s.
* The vessel is equipped with a [[fuel purification plant]] that can refine all onboard fuel in 8 hours: the plant is operated and maintained by the engineering crew.
|-
| 10.
| [[Imperial Currency|Cost]]
| The basic cost of the vessel is [[MCr]]1,333.801 (base)<br>MCr1,067.041 (qty)
* Architects Fee: [[MCr]]13.338
|-
| 11.
| [[Naval Architecture|Construction Time]]
| 168 weeks as standard, 134 weeks in bulk.
* 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.
|-
| 12.
| Comments
| Standard cargo capacity amounts to 10.0 [[Ton]]s.
* The cargo hold can be sealed and has independent life support and environmental systems.
* Sections of the hold may be isolated if desired and can be provided with specialized environmental conditions, typically refrigeration.

== History & Background ([[Dossier]]) ==
The ''TC14 Ralmu class Destroyer Leader'' class is used by the [[Trooles Confederation]]. These fully streamlined conical structures can land on planetary surfaces. They carry two [[dropship]]s and a platoon of [[TC004 Rambler class Grav APC]]s for the marine company. Limitations of the design include: the light hull armor and a weaker sand caster battery. The missile bay is used for orbital bombardment. The design is faster and most agile which requires a much larger fusion power plant. The 54 marines can use drop capsules to attack from orbit. The design suffers from no computer back ups. They elect to use short range plasma guns instead of beam laser batteries.

=== Class Naming Practice/s & Peculiarities ===
''Vessel Peculiarities:'' <br> No information yet available. 

''Class Naming Practice/s:'' <br> Vessels of the [[Trooles Confederation]] are given alphanumeric designations and callsigns by other [[Polity|interstellar states]]. TC refers to [[Trooles Confederation]] (a designation applied to all [[Trooles Confederation|Confederation]] combat units), 14 is a multiple of hundreds of tons of displacement and also indicates at a glance the number of weapons mounts, and when it is used 'b' refers to the version of the vessel, relating to its construction tech level and bracketing its maximum jump potential. Type codes will often repeat: 'Ralmu' is an easy to remember class name to identify the specific type of vessel.
* Individual vessels are named by a committee using an authorized list.

=== Selected Variant Types & Classes ===

# [[Type S class Scout/Courier]]
## [[Asia class Scout]]
