Stiletto Light Grav Tank TL14
The Stiletto is a light grav tank still found equipping second-line
units of the Imperial Army. Its small size, high speed, and extensive defen-
sive suite make it survivable in a modern battle. Cramped accommodations are
somewhat less popular among the crews.

Hyperbolic Light Air Raft TL14 (Military Version)
The Hyperbolic is a low cost grav vehicle intended for military light
utility work. With a sealed cabin, it can operate in contaminated environ-
ments, and a laser communicator provides jam-resistant comm capability for
the users. Up to 0.5 tons of cargo can be carried externally with no loss of
performance.

Hyperbolic Light Air Raft TL14 (Civilian Version)
The Hyperbolic is a low cost grav vehicle intended for military light
utility work. Because of its popularity with the general public, a civilian-
ized version with reduced electronics is also produced. The civilian version
has a smaller power plant, and features a larger seat for the driver and an
expanded cargo compartment, but is externally identical.

Transtar-27 Speeder TL14
The Transtar-27 is a very popular speeder design, frequently found as
an auxiliary craft aboard scout and merchant vessels. Originally designed by
the Transtar Company of Trin, the design has since been licensed across the
Domain of Deneb. There are no particularly unusual design features exhibited
in the Transtar-27. A full sensor array and computer control system allow
integration with planetary traffic networks, and two of the seating positions
are suitable for extended occupation. A full environmental array also con-
tributes to passenger comfort.

Draft Imperial 10000ton Fleet Escort TL14
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.
This draft design was produced on 29 September 1990. In order to fit
the desired main armament of a meson gun bay, it is necessary to have a power
plant roughly twice as large as the maneuver/life support requirement.
Endurance given below is for no combat use of power. Combat power consumes 2
days of non-combat power per day. Basically, this was designed backwards
from the TL15 version, the main difference being the large increase in power
plant size needed at TL14, and corresponding changes in fuel capacity. To
keep the fuel capacity at over 30 days at running power, it was necessary to
trim the fuel purifier back to 18 hour capability.

IGN Kao Chu Class Destroyer TL14
The Kao Chu class vessels of the Imperial Glisten Navy were officially
referred to as destroyers when constructed, despite the fact that vessels in
their displacement class are more typically rated as light escorts or close
escorts. This peculiarity in IGN nomenclature was adjusted to match Imperial
norms after the Fifth Frontier War, and the survivors of the initial class of
300 were redesignated as 'light escorts'. As the Type 1107 destroyers became
available after the war, the Chus were placed in mothballs at Glisten, and
several of the ships which had been severely damaged during the war and
hastily repaired were scrapped. At the time of the Emperor's assassination,
the Naval Department at Glisten was considering transferring some of the
mothballed ships to local planetary navies, or selling some with weapons
packages removed as couriers. There was little public interest in the latter
concept, and the former was shelved when the Aslan advance made it necessary
to reactivate the ships to support the Imperial Navy in the Trojan Reach
sector.
Following the war, most of the active vessels were re-equipped with Type
1112 landing boats in place of their original pinnaces The statistics shown
below reflect this change. The vessel typically operates at 26% power,
enough for life support and 1-G maneuver, allowing up to 60 days per fuel
load.

Type S Scout/Courier TL14
The TL14 Scout Courier is nearly as capable as the TL15 version. Vast
quantities of them were built for the IISS and private owners. Probably the
majority of IISS surplus scouts that are in Detached Duty service are the
TL14 version. The cost given below does not include an auxiliary vehicle, but
provision for carrying something in the 4 ton class is made. An onboard fuel
purifier gives the vessel the capability for extended wilderness missions,
and its high capacity facilitates rapid rejumps when the vessel is assigned
as a courier.

Tallis Class Merchant TL14
The Tallis class merchants were built at Trin by TrinTechnics between
1004 and 1007. The class was composed of 37 vessels, of which 23 remain in
service as of 1117. The origin of the class was somewhat unusual--in 956 the
Planetary Navy of Trin had ordered a large number of Patrol Cruisers which
were later canceled (in 963) due to budgetary considerations. The uncomplet-
ed hulls (ranging from 40-90% completed at cancellation) remained in orbital
storage for 39 years while the contract cancellation case was in litigation.
Following the conclusion of the lawsuits, the hulls were sold for a small
fraction of their original cost in a sealed bid auction to TrinTechnics and
completed as fast merchants. The thrusters are sufficient to allow take off
and landing with a full load on almost any inhabited planet, freeing the ship
from dependence on orbital facilities.
Many Tallis class vessels are operated with incomplete crews, allowing
more than three middle passengers to be carried. Stewards are seldom encoun-
tered. With the survivors of the class having been in service for over 100
years, careful maintenance is a high priority. If found for sale, it could
be expected that a Tallis would cost less than MCr45 at present. Annual
maintenance, however would be based on the original cost, and might run to as
much as three or four times the original expectations.
