Note: For the examples of spacecraft design posted on this blog, I mostly use 2ed. Mongoose Traveller rules, but some examples using 1ed. rules will persist until they can be upgraded.

Look at the side column for variant rules I use in my campaign.

TL15+ light Frigate (1000dt)

This vessel is an upgrade of the TL12+ version (q.v.). The ship was laid down at the Mars Shipyards during the heady days when Earth was not subjugated, and her trade controlled by the evil Imperium. The hulls were procured from Darrian manufacturers and shipped to the Solomani Autonomous Authority, fitted with equipment from Earth, and then deployed in the frontier. The plans would be similar to the picture shown below with changes noted in the statistics for the vessel as listed.
