[gurps] [VEHICLE] of the week 677 – Quare-IX-class 50-ton Light SDB

[Onno Meyer]

  This is a weekly posting with GURPS vehicles (and the like) to the 
GURPSnet mailing list. I grant the permission for all non-commercial 
redistribution of my work, but I would like to know if you put it on 
a website or the like. My site is down for rebuilding, but sooner or 
later the old stuff should reappear at   omeyer.gmxhome.de

Quare-IX-class 50-ton Light SDB v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL9)

  The Federation of Arden uses Light System Defense Boats to cover its 
less important worlds. The LSDB combines the roles of a starfighter, a 
customs gig, and a rescue cutter, all in a single hull. 
  The usual armament consists of three missile racks with thirty 500mm 
missiles. Three of the five bridge workstations are configured as fire 
control stations. A short corridor leads from the bridge to a bunkroom, 
an emergency surgery and the engine room. Unlike most Imperial SDBs, a 
Federation LSDB has an endurance of days, not weeks or months.
  The LSDB has total compartmentalization and a heavy frame. The usual 
crew consists of the captain, pilot, sensor operator, gunner, and four 
marines (including a medic).
