Imperiallines Jump-6 Frontier Transport

The following is my conversion of the Frontier Transport, presented in the World Tamer's Handbook, into the Jump-6 version used in the Rebellion Sourcebook adventure, "Nail Mission," or at least some facsimile thereof, in TNE stats. The basic purpose of the top-secret J-6 transport was missions of utmost importance to the Imperium. J-6 transports were used to carry the news of the Rebellion, for instance, across the galaxy to the edges of the Imperium as fast as possible. Several of these ships survive today in the service of the Regency Navy.

Notes

The Frontier Transport was originally built as a multi-purpose cargo vessel used for trade in undeveloped areas. The design was a proprietary design belonging to Imperiallines, that primarily served worlds situated off the main trade routes.

This variant of the Frontier Transport was built for exclusive use by Imperial officials in the days of the Third Imperium. Equipped for Jump-6, the ship was used to carry equipment, personnel and information over great distances in a short period of time. Many Regency governments maintain secret use of these ships and contain them in clandestine orbital facilities.

Some ships dispense with some or all of the 10 gunners, as the turrets can be controlled from the two MFDs, which also allows one of the command crew to be dispensed with. This allows the required complement to be reduced to as low as 33, although without crew, the turrets cannot be fired under local control if something happens to the MFDs.

Fuel scoops. Fuel purification machinery (19.75 MW), 24 hours to refine 21,800 m³(1557.4 tons).
