Dragon-class CT stats

[vermeylenhans]

Some of you must have those data tattooed on their eyelids... Could someone provide me with them?

Thanks.

 

[BetterThanLife]

Sure give me a couple of minutes to put it together.

You want it in CT or T20?

Here is CT. Put together with Andrew Moffett's HGS. The price doesn't match Supp-7 but everything else does.

Actually the Supp-7 name for the class is Guardian. Dragon seems to be an SJG incarnation for it.

Hello Hans Vermeylen and Bhoins,

The core book for TNE p. 373 lists the System Defense Boat as a Shukugan (Dragon). Bhoins, What printing of CT Supplement 7 Traders and Gunboats do you have? I checked on pp. 35-37 of the 8th printing, copyright 1980, and have not found the class name mentioned.

 

[BetterThanLife]

It is in the High Guard Stats at the back of Supp-7. I don't know what my original printing is, it is in a box someplace since I bought the Reprints.

Ooh yes. It does have a dragon painted on the side, though!

Here is a list of the stats for the Dragon-class SDB through all flavors of Traveller for you

Dragon Class System Defense Boat
CT Book 2 stats (Supplement 7, pg 35 and 38)

System Defense Boat (Type SB): Using the type 400 hull, the system defense boat is equipped with ten staterooms (allowing a crew of ten); no low berths are fitted. The crew consists of a pilot, navigator/medic, chief engineer and five engineers, and two gunners. The ship has drives capable of 6-G, but no jump capability. The bridge has a very powerful Modle/5fib computer, with standard software package. Four tons of turrets fire control is allocated- two triple missile turrets and two triple laser turrets. The hull is streamlined and heavily armored.

The total cost for a system defense boat of this type is MCr777.54

The Jump Shuttle: System defense boats have no jump drives and are incapable of interstellar flight. To enable the transfer of these gunboats to systems in need of them, a jump shuttle has been produced which carries fuel and jump drives for such transfers. Alone, the 200-ton jump shuttle can achieve 3-G and jump-2 and carries fuel tankage for three consecutive jumps. It carries a crew of three. When connected to the system defense boat, its powerful jump drives are reduced in capacity, but can still propel the combination of jump-1 and 1-G maneuvers. Its fuel capacity remains enough for two consecutive jumps.

When mated, the two crafts have access ways to allow intermingling of the crews of each ship. The primary problem with such connections is that a period of several hours is necessary to connect or disconnect the craft: the jump shuttle is not an ideal way to transfer system defense boats to a system where there is action currently going on.

The jump shuttle costs MCr93.52 and displaces 200 tons. In practice, one jump shuttle is provided for each ten system defense boats, in situations where interstellar capability is required.

Dragon Class System Defense Boat
GT stats (GT pg 144)

The Dragon-class SDB is found in local defense squadrons throught the Imperium. These vessels are used for customs inspections, piracy suppression, system defense and whatever else a local government might need done. A few are still found in the Imperial Navy, but they have largely been replaced by more modern craft. Dragon-class boats have a variety of armament configurations, but the most common is two laser turrets (each housing triple 360-MJ lasers) and two missles turrets (each with triple launchers). Sandcasters are sometimes fitted in place of one or more missile racks or lasers. Note that there are only 6 staterooms for use by 12 crewmembers, necessitsting a procedure called hot-bunking, where several crew use the same bed at different times, meaning that the bed is always occupied (except during general quarters) and water must be strictly rationed. Because of this, and the lack of other crew amenities, the Dragon-class SDBs are given the nickname “Pig Boat” in many services.

Crew: Captain/Pilot/Navigator (Leadership, Tactics, Pilot[spacecraft] and Astrogation), Second Officer (Electronics Operation [Sensors] and [Communications], Gunner [Laser] and Gunner [Missile]) five Drive Technicians (Engineering and Mechanic) and four Gunners (Gunner [Laser] or [Missile]0.

Dragon Class System Defense
T20 stats (THB pg 331)

System Defense Boat (Type SDB)
Medium-Size Spaceship

A system defense boat, or SDB, is a ship that is used exclusively for planetary and star system defense, trading off the lack of jump drives for heavy armor, faster acceleration, and heavier weaponry in its place. There is no real ‘standard’ design for SDBs, as they are often of local manufacture or may be former starships pressed into local defense forces after having their jump drives removed. Most such conversions have additional armament and upgrades installed. Most SDBs are streamlined allowing them to also be used for orbital and air support for local ground troops.

If the need aries to move an SDB to another system, it will usually be loaded onto a bulk freighter and shipped as large cargo, but this is very slow and inefficient and is not wise if the SDB is expected to go into action immediatel upon arrival. In cases where rapid deployment at the destination is needed, Jump Pods can be built and strapped to the SDB, providing it with temporary jump capability. Upon arrival, the pods can be quickly and easily jettisoned, allowing the ship to move into action immediately. The pod would contain Jump drives large enough to Jump bpth the SDB and the pod itself, along with the requisite fuel needed to make the Jump.

A generic TL14 SDB like the one detailed here would Cost MCr202.36 new, and take 11 months to build. It requires a crew of 6: Captain, Pilot, Engineer, 2 gunners and a missile technician who doubles as medic.

Hey Wolfman, that isn't the same ship.

It is a 200T SDB and the Dragon is a 400T SDB at TL-12. Besides the numbers are wrong.

Thanks, I didn't look that far back in the book. Of course part of the reason for not looking had to do with getting ready for work.

Hello Wolfman,

I have checked T4 Book 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, B, C, D and E without seeing an SDB. Book 2 lists a "Missile Bomber." Otherwise, IG appears to have skipped the SDB.

I realize that the T20 is not a Dragon-class SDB, but I just posted what was in my copy of T20 for an SDB. If the numbers are wrong, than that is my fault for coying them wrong from the T20 THB.
