Gryphon Grav Fighting Vehicle TL13
The Gryphon is a general purpose grav fighting vehicle manufactured in
large quantities in the frontier regions of the Imperium. A reliable design,
it was standard with the Imperial forces when they were equipped at TL13, and
the data package is now generally available. With space rated armor and
computers, the Gryphon is capable of combat from a planetary surface out to
orbit, and can be launched from orbit for a planetary assault operation.
Armament is laid out "over and under", with the pulse laser in a remote
turret on the upper surface of the vehicle, and the fusion gun in a turret on
the lower surface. The 2 5MW beam lasers are mounted in side sponsons, and
are intended for antipersonnel use.

Fakh Goudza Grav Fighting Vehicle TL13 (Vargr)
The Fakh Goudza is a general purpose grav fighting vehicle manufactured
by several planets in the Vargr Extents. Its name is taken from a large
carnivorous bird on the planet of its design. It bears certain similarities
to the Imperial Gryphon GFV, but is intended to have an auxiliary role as a
troop carrier. Roomy seats allow four infantrymen in battledress with grav
belts to be deployed when advantageous. It also carries a non-homogeneous
computer array, with a Model 4 available for control of combat operations.
The Fakh Goudza's armor and controls are space rated, and the vehicle can be
launched from orbit for a planetary assault operation. Armament is laid out
"over and under", with the pulse laser in a remote turret on the upper sur-
face of the vehicle, and the fusion gun in a turret on the lower surface. The
two smaller lasers are mounted in side sponsons, and are intended for anti-
personnel use.

Wyvern Grav Fighter TL13
The Wyvern is a dual purpose design intended to serve as a fast attack
vehicle and a limited duty near orbit fighter. It is fully space rated and
can be ground or ship based. The Model 3 computer is intended for targeting
and combat, but the craft can still be flown as long as at least one of the
Model 0 computers remains functional.

LSP Model 139 Combat Support Tanker TL13
By tech level 13, almost all combat operations are performed by energy
weapon armed grav vehicles. This makes the job of combat logistics support
much easier than at lower tech levels, because all that is needed during an
operation (and maybe not even then, given the high endurance of most fusion
powered vehicles) is food, fuel, and repair parts. The tanker is intended to
refuel combat grav vehicles while moving, to reduce vulnerability to enemy
long range attacks as much as possible. Almost all combat grav vehicles are
equipped with the necessary refueling probes. The LSP Model 139 is equipped
with a capable sensor/communication suite to assist in coordinating the
refueling activities, and to enable the craft to avoid action as much as
possible.

LSP Model 138 Combat Support Fuel Refiner TL13
By tech level 13, almost all combat operations are performed by energy
weapon armed grav vehicles. This makes the job of combat logistics support
much easier than at lower tech levels, because all that is needed during an
operation (and maybe not even then, given the high endurance of most fusion
powered vehicles) is food, fuel, and repair parts. While a planetary defender
is capable, at least in theory, of preparing caches of supplies prior to an
attack, an attacker has to be able to carry all required supplies. To make
things easier, the combat support fuel refiner can process hydrogen out of
water where available at a rate of 142kl per hour, almost enough to fill a
Model 139 tanker. Field commanders prefer to avoid this whenever possible,
because the fuel refiner is comparatively vulnerable in a high intensity
combat environment due to the requirement to stop while processing. A vehi-
cle large enough to carry the amount of water needed and process it on the
move was considered by most logisticians to be prohibitively large. Again,
as a result of the limited onboard tankage, a tanker vehicle must be on hand
to receive the hydrogen as it is being processed. The LSP Model 13 is
equipped with a capable sensor/communication suite to assist in coordinating
the refueling activities, and to enable the craft to avoid action as much as
possible.

Reliable Light ATV TL13
The Reliable is produced throughout the Imperium, and is very popular
as an auxiliary vehicle aboard small starships. It has the advantage of
using hydrogen fuel, available from the ship's tanks, and can be configured
to run its fuel cells in open or closed cycle, which, along with the fully
self contained life support system and airlock, enables operation in vacuum
or any non-corrosive atmosphere. The three large seats can be folded into
6 roomy seats, or even 12 cramped seats for short trips. Low ground
pressure gives good offroad performance, and limits the possibility of
damage to road surfaces, making urban operations practical.

Aramis Class Light Fleet Escort TL13
The Aramis is designed to meet the Imperial Navy standard requirements
of Jump-4 and 4-G acceleration. Named for worlds in the Spinward Marches,
there was a certain amount of public outcry from the planetary populations so
recognized when the class was unveiled, as many didn't think that having such
a small vessel named after their planet was much of an honor. The Imperial
Navy still engages in limited production of Aramis class escorts at shipyards
on TL13 planets. When active defenses such as meson screens and dampers (not
usually installed on vessels in this size class anyway) are not considered,
there is not much difference in performance between TL13 and TL15 vessels.
The model 7 computer set up on these vessels is sufficient to be superior to
that carried by most small raider and corsair vessels. Thus, Aramis (and
similar) class vessels can be used to perform rear and low threat area escort
duties enabling more capable ships to be maintained in the front lines.

M. Metlay class Imperial Navy Fleet Escort TL13
The Metlay class fleet escort was designed by the Imperial Navy's own
Bureau of Ships in 872. With Jump-4 capability, the Metlay is still capable
of performing valuable work for the Imperial Navy, although most new con-
struction is for frontier planetary navies. Members of the class are tradi-
tionally named after posthumous winners of the Imperial Navy's Medal for
Conspicuous Gallantry. Normal operation of the vessel (full maneuver power
and life support) requires 66% of the power plant capacity, and the rated
endurance shown below is based on this figure.

IGN Aganar Class "Light Cruiser" TL13
The first Aganar class light cruiser was built by the Imperial Glisten
Navy in 997. The last of the sixty vessels was commissioned in 1029. The
ships are named for famous battles of history. At the outbreak of the Fifth
Frontier War, the Aganars were the oldest class of vessels still in service
with the IGN, and were committed to action immediately as one of the few
meson gun carrier classes in use. Merely the technological equals of their
opponents in the Collace Independence Fleet, and heavily outnumbered at every
encounter due to the vagaries of their pre-war deployment, the Aganar squad-
rons were virtually annihilated in the opening weeks of the war. Between
combat losses and the destruction of a number of damaged ships under repair
during the brief Collace occupation of Glisten, only a single ship out of the
sixty, the IGNS Alesia, survived through the end of the war. The Alesia was
reclassified as a fleet escort during the fleet reorganization of 1112, and
was still in service as a training vessel as of 1118.
Short duration was a major problem of the class--immediate refueling
upon entering a system was a necessity, but was considered an acceptable
trade-off in return for the meson gun mounted on such a comparitively small
hull.

Collace S.P. Crean class Destroyer TL13
In keeping with the design philosophy of the Collace Independence Fleet,
these vessels were intended to perform a single function, and to be built
quickly. Over 700 were assembled by Collace for use in the Fifth Frontier
War. The vessels were named after the Founders of Collace, the two thousand
orignal colonists from Mora. It should be noted that the destroyer is de-
pendent on use of the its subsidiary missile boat's fuel scooping and purify-
ing capability.

Collace Retribution Class Light Cruiser TL13
The Retribution class light cruiser is one of four standard designs
produced for the Collace Independence Fleet prior to the Fifth Frontier War.
Like the others, every effort was made to make these vessels easy to assem-
ble, and over a hundred were in service by the outbreak of the war. A small
group of these cruisers, along with one Freedom class battlecruiser escaped
from the final battle at Collace where they had been stationed throughout the
war, and were eventually sold to an Aslan clan navy in the Trojan Reach sec-
tor, and participated in the attack on Glisten in 1119, twelve years after
their sisters.

Collace Freedom Class Battlecruiser TL13
The Freedom class battlecruiser was designed for the Collace Indepen-

War. Recognizing that quantity was the only way to counterbalance the
Glisten/Imperial technological advantage, every effort was made to keep
these vessels as simple as possible.

Wasp Class Heavy Fighter TL13
The Wasp class has been slightly adapted from standard data packages
by the navies of Lunion and Strouden. Produced in vast quantities since
first introduced in 1085, the Wasp can be encountered almost anywhere. It
is popular as a light system defense boat, since its 35 day endurance
allows it to undertake long patrols.

Lord Adrian Class Light Cruiser TL13
The Lord Adrian class was designed as a cooperative venture by the
navies of Lunion and Strouden. The first vessel in the class was completed
by Strouden and flown on 343-1096. One of the main flaws of this design
was particularly evident as a result of its performance in the Fifth
Frontier War--the lack of an onboard fuel purification capability. Two
ships of a six ship squadron were lost to misjumps during the retreat to
Lunion when forced to jump immediately after a gas giant refueling.

Admiral Bertil Modified Type M TL13
The Admiral Bertil is a specially modified Type M liner, overhauled at
Lunion in 1117 for an independent mercenary fleet. As much of the outward
appearance of the original vessel was retained as possible. Major changes
were made to the control and sensor systems (upgraded to a Model 7
computer, which resulted in a reduction in the required operating crew to
two men), and the cargo/living spaces, which were reconfigured into a
launch/service bay for six Raptor class landers and accommodations for 78
crewpersons. The cost given below includes the price of the landers.
Power allocation is such that the lasers cannot be operated at the same
time as the grav plates and the inertial compensators.

Duke Boris class Mercenary Cruiser TL13
The Duke Boris class is produced by ConTech of Glisten, at a lower

Essentially designed as a competitor to the fairly common Broadsword class,
the Duke Boris is equipped with a Raptor lander and four Kestrel fighters,
whose cost is included below. Provision for twenty troops is made, which
restricts the types of operations that can be undertaken by a Duke Boris
equipped mercenary outfit.

Marcus Antonius class Attack Transport TL13
The first Marcus Antonius was constructed for a specialized mercenary
company. Able to simultaneously drop a full platoon of jump troops, and
retrieve them when their operation was completed, the vessel was used pri-
marily for commando type raids. The cargo capacity of 111 displacement tons
allows over 200 spare drop capsules to be carried, so the ship can engage in
multiple drops while operating independently if necessary.

Triumph Class Cruiser TL13
The Triumph class was designed as a flagship for an independent
mercenary fleet, and built at Lunion in 1109. The high cost of heavy
spacecraft puts them beyond the reach of almost all mercenary units, and
the Lunion government showed little interest in a craft with such
diversified capabilities when they were already heavily committed to the
production of a specialized fleet escort in the same tonnage range. As a
result, only two of these craft had been constructed by 1117--the Triumph
and the Victory.

Rapier class Fighter TL13
The Rapier class fighter is optimized for short range and short duration
orbital or deepspace combat, although it is occasionally used in a support
role as an atmospheric fighter. Noteworthy for its fusion gun main armament,
the Rapier is somewhat sluggish due to the mass of the power plant required
to support it. Much of the cost of the craft (over 60%) is due to the in-
stallation of the extremely capable Model 7 computer, which gives the Rapier
a reasonable chance of taking on and damaging much larger ships. Originally
designed by TrinTechnics, the Rapier is now built under license primarily by
LSP at Lunion and Strouden, and in the Vargr Extents.

Kestrel Class Interface Fighter TL13
The Kestrel is produced under license in the Spinward Marches by LSP
in their Lunion shipyards. The Kestrel is a compromise design--some
capability for space combat was considered to be essential, but the
main use was anticipated to be atmospheric combat. Accordingly, the
computer installation was limited to a Model 3, which still accounts for
50% of the vehicle cost.

Type S3 Naval Scout TL13
The Type S3 Scout was built to an Imperial Navy specification for a
light fleet scout. Based on the standard Type S design, the S3 includes a
larger jump drive, electronic countermeasure capability, and a redundant
sensor and communication suite. A typical mission might involve two or three
S3s that would jump to the outskirts of an enemy held system, refuel clandes-
tinely, monitor enemy broadcast communications, and identify forces with
passive detection gear. If something vital were learned, or at a scheduled
time otherwise, one of the ships would jump outsystem and report, leaving the
other(s) to continue the surveillance. A full tank of fuel would allow
operation of the life support and sensor systems for over 300 days with no
other use of power.

Argrabhakh Class Light Escort TL13 (Vargr)
The Argrabhakh is a typical Vargr light escort built for the corsair
market. It has unusually long endurance for a Vargr design, and reasonable
acceleration. The provision of two combat pinnaces allows a wide variety of
missions to be performed. The power plant is typically run at 67% of the
maximum power, which allows full life support and full maneuver. Endurance is
28 days at this power level. 24% power (80 days) is sufficient for life
support and 1-G, and full power can be maintained for up to 19 days.

Chariot class System Defense Boat TL13
The Chariot class is a standard Imperial SDB design. Hundreds are in
service with the planetary navies of the industrial worlds of Lunion and
Strouden in the Spinward Marches alone. While the fuel supply is sufficient
for thirty full days of operation at maximum power, it is more often
stretched to provide 75 days of operation at 40% power, enough for 1-G maneu-
ver and full life support. If operated in life support and passive sensor
only mode, as with a loiter operation during an enemy attack on the system,
only one percent of the power capacity is required. This would allow the
vessels to wait up to 4375 days between fuelings--which is to say, as long as
necessary.

Packet TL13
This armed merchant vessel is produced by LSP of Lunion, and is increas-
ing in popularity due to the current troubles afflicting the Imperium. Since
a quick economic analysis of the cargo/passenger capacity and the routine
monthly payments of a standard starship mortgage shows that there is no way
for this vessel to pay for itself, most of the examples presently flying are
under government subsidies. Governments with off-world interests, or that
frequently transport valuable cargoes, find that armed vessels can get
through situations which would result in the loss of less capable merchants.
A privately owned packet would find it necessary to constantly engage in
profitable speculative trade to make ends meet, and there would be every
temptation to resort to smuggling or outright piracy. With armament equiva-
lent to many military vessels of similar size, the transition from fighting
pirates to piracy is an easy one.

Type A3 Far Trader TL13
This version of the Type A2 Far Trader can be built at TL13 when the
anticipated trade route needs that little bit of extra jump capability. This
version is intended for cargo transportation. Two extra staterooms are pro-
vided which may be used to carry middle passengers or extra crew members (or
removed to provide eight additional tons of cargo space at a cost saving of
0.8MCr). A Reliable light ATV is carried as an auxiliary vehicle. The type
A3 is known jokingly as the "Real far trader", or the "Even further trader"
among free traders.

Bargain class Type A Free Trader TL13
The Bargain class appears in the standard vehicle catalog of the LSP
shipyard at Lunion, but examples are seldom actually built. It was designed
almost entirely for advertising purposes (Be your own boss-buy a Free Trader
for under MCr32), with the primary design goal being to reduce costs as far
as possible. Salespersons will attempt to sell a more capable design to any
customer who holds still long enough. The Bargain class, therefore, is built
with no inertial compensators on a basic streamlined box hull. To avoid
throwing passengers around it was necessary to arrange the decks to be per-
pendicular to the line of thrust. Grav plates (a major energy consumer) have
been limited to the bridge, passenger, and engineering compartments. The
power plant is therefore trimmed to the bare minimum size need to support
maneuver and the limited environmental package. Fuel tankage and the cargo
bay have whatever pseudogravity is provided by the acceleration ship's
thrusters. No backup communications ares carried, and the navigation radar
is a barely acceptable planetary range model. The control system is not
really adequate to support the installation of a weapons package. The fuel
purifier is of minimum size. The thrusters provide a nominal acceleration of
1.058G at calculated load, making lift-off from an earth-sized planet barely
possible. Actual loads, of course, are frequently less.
As they say in the Free Trader community "Sometimes a Bargain is no
bargain..."

Ship's Boat TL13
This standard design ship's boat is produced throughout the Imperium.
Individual manufacturers attempt to boost sales with flashy advertising
campaigns, but there is little substantive difference from one model to the
next. This version is a compromise between an atmospheric/interface opti-
mized design and a deepspace independent operation design, and as such is
found as an auxiliary aboard vessels requiring a general purpose capability.
No weapons are installed as shown, but 13.5kl of space and sufficient
control capacity have been reserved to allow for the installation of any
sandcaster and/or missile turret. The ship's power plant is not large enough
to allow for installation of a space combat laser, although in the current
troubled times it would not be impossible to find these craft armed with
whatever can be obtained, such as 20MW planetary combat pulse lasers, or even
mass driver guns for ground protection.
The small cargo bay is accessible from a rear clamshell hatch, and has
fittings for carrying a variety of specialized cargoes, such as 2 Imperial
Standard 4 ton containers, or a up to a 6 ton class ATV or air/raft.

Launch TL13
This standard design launch is produced throughout the Imperium, pri-
marily as an auxiliary for cargo ships requiring some self-contained shuttle
capability for use at ports where the ship is not able to land. As such, it
is not optimized for atmospheric travel. The twelve cramped seats which are
available for passenger transfer are designed to fold down flush with the
floor of the cargo bay when not required, which increases cargo capacity to
184kl. At 160kl with seats extended, the cargo bay can hold 2 Imperial
Standard 4 ton cargo containers, or 11 standard 1 ton containers.
No armament has been provided, nor has space been reserved for the
installation of weaponry at a later date.
