Potentially helpful writeups:


Sword Worlder Gunship. This is a Sword Worlder Gunship, used for protecting its interests along the borders. It has a low jump rating in order to increase its time between refueling. Not intended for head-to-head battles, it prefers supply line cutting, ambushes, surprise, and light skirmishes. To support intelligence gathering ops it comes with a respectable array of sensors, and carries as part of its crew a specialist sensor operator.

It packs a decent wallop with a single particle accelerator bay weapon, with other weapons and defenses in a support role.

In normal space, the ship uses a Maneuver-4 and Power Plant-4 for operations. Conventional fuel reserves provide two weeks of in-system operations. The ship also carries a reserve power plant for use during jump. The jump fuel reserves includes enough fuel for one jump-2 and one week of power plant-2 operations (used while in jump).


Sword Worlder Corvette. A Sword Worlds corporation on Gram saw a need for a fast multipurpose vessel for use in and around the Sword Worlds. Its main feature is a center section composed of brackets, allowing various modules to be added as needed, similar in fashion to the modular cutter.


Sword Worlder Jump Fighter. Either a clever reconnaissance craft, a sneaky commerce raider, or an expensive joke, the Gladius is a Long-range, light, M-drive-equipped attack shuttle, with a jump drive and power plant installed in the cargo hold. Fuel is carried in a 55-ton drop tank, which is retained during jump, but is detachable upon arrival insystem for full performance. The Sword Worlder owner of this craft is proud of his invention, though many are unsure of its utility.

The smallcraft which forms the core of the vessel is a 40- or 50- ton hull.

The payload consists of a jump drive-A, and a power plant-A, with 9 tons left over for two staterooms and a fuel scoop and purifier.

The drop tanks total 55 tons.

Performance is 2G with drop tanks, or 6G without. The drop tanks hold fuel for jumps totalling 5 parsecs, and 3 weeks of powerplant operation. Note that the M-drive is integral to the smallcraft's fusion+ power plant, and therefore the P-plant is only needed when the jump drive is engaged.

The ship requires a crew of 2: pilot/astrogator/engineer and gunner/medic, or some mix thereof.
