The Type JL class Espionage Vessel is an TL–15 intelligence gathering and Espionage Vessel.
Description[edit]
In order to allow its agents to move freely throughout the Domain of Deneb, the Order of the White Star has commissioned half a dozen vessels. They are designed so as to pass for typical type-A free traders, though they are actually sophisticated craft intended for the multitude of covert missions which the White Star undertakes. [1]
El-Ahrairah's electromagnetic masking is designed to make the craft look like a typical free trader to outside scans. Only when she is clearly not behaving like a mundane craft (i.e., running for a jump point at 3 gravities) is her true nature apparent. The ship's transponder can be altered to provide false identification of the vessel with little effort. [1]
Image Repository[edit]
- An top down image of a Beowulf class Free Trader, one of the most common Type A class Free Trader variants. In this case, it is really a Type JL class Espionage Vessel camouflaged as a Free Trader.
- Q-Ship, Spy Ship, or Free Trader?
Basic Ship Characteristics[edit]
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. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (...thousands of tons) where necessary.

History & Background[edit]
Class Naming Practice/s & Peculiarities[edit]
