Lurenti class battle tender

LURENTI CLASS BATTLETENDER

FORMER THIRD IMPERIUM


Back to the Starships and Spacecraft contents

The Lurenti class battletenders entered service with the Third Imperium shortly after the fourth frontier war. They were designed to carry seven battleriders, normally of the Nolikian class, though other battleriders of the appropriate displacement and configuration were also known to be carried.

In addition to the seven battleriders carried externally Lurenti class vessels also carried two hundred heavy fighters. Sylean class fighters being originally assigned, but like the battleriders other fighters could and sometimes were substituted such as the Revenant class heavy fighter.

Like most other battle tenders the Lurenti is not meant to enter combat itself, being too valuable to risk. Normal deployment of the carrier would be to the rear using its battleriders as its offensive punch.

Notes

Fuel purification equipment (1,807.1429Mw) is sufficient to purifiy 361,428.57 cubic meters in 6 hours (42 hours for entire load exclusive of power plant fuel) No fuel scoops. Jump drive, maneuver drive and meson screen are configured for the carrier plus the seven battle-riders carried externally. Accomodation for the battle-rider crews is within the battle-riders.

The fighters assigned are typical imperial heavy fighters and may vary from ship to ship.

The surface area I used for the grapples is 10% of the actual amount calculated using FFS1. The actual figure calculated for each grapple is greater than the total surface area of the battlerider carried.
