NOTE: This ship is designed using Mongoose Traveller High Guard Update 2022. It is not compliant with LBB rules.

Hi all,

I have been working with mapper Robert Pierce of Yet Another Traveller Blog and artist Ian Stead on another project. This is a 1500-dTon, Jump-3, Manoeuvre-4 patrol frigate. It is designed for dealing with pirates and smugglers rather than fleet actions.

There are two versions of the ship. Robert has posted one on his blog with his own illustration and a slightly different Deck One.

Here is the eleventh in the series of starships, small craft, and vehicles designed by members of the Traveller community using the Advent...

Below is attached a version with art by the always amazing Ian Stead. This version is more rounded.

The ship is influenced by the USS Sulaco. It can carry marines and has two 50-dTon cutters that have the option of carrying a wheeled APC.

The ship also has cells for captured pirates or smugglers.

Although it is labelled as a Solomani ship, Ian's second illustration is generic, allowing it to be used as a Third Imperium ship, or any other power.

Please enjoy
