Date: 31 Aug 1995 08:24:40 U From: "Svenson G N" Subject: Tempere Modular Transport The following is the second ship, the Tempere Modular Transport. It like the Viiborg are actually the first ships of their class built at Mnemosyne (0232 Foreven sector). I am trying to figure out what kind of ship construction capacity Mnemosyne would have to determine how many of each class of ship they might have. In my universe after the collapse Mnemosyne's UWP would be B669887-A. I have read the discussions here on Starports, so I realize that a Starport B will have a small drydock and a grav dock. How do I transalate that information into a maximum number of ships that could be under construction at one time, a maximum number of tons per ship and a total maximum number of tons that could be building at any one time. Any help or advice would really be appreciated. ----------------------------------------------------- Tempere Modular Transport General Data Displacement 300 tons/1000 tons Hull Armor 12 (2 cm Comp.

It normally carries a Viiborg fuel skimmer, a drop tank, a Helkana class shuttle and modules totalling 300 tons displacement, in this configuration she can do two Jumps without refueling. The Viiborg has a 1400 kl fuel tank fitted to be used as a fuel tank for the Tempere in addition to her own fuel supply, this supplies the Tempere with the ability to do a single jump when fully loaded. She has been known to travel with as many as four drop tanks (without the Viiborg and Helkana on board) allowing four jumps. Where fuel is available in the destination system she will travel with only one drop tank and 600 tons of modules (allowing for a single jump). Modules come in a variety of sizes up to 100 tons displacement. The most common are the 35 ton modules that can be carried to by Helkana. Modules can have a variety of purposes also, ranging from general cargo, quarters, a reactor, weapon systems, labs, small craft, etc. Since the Tempere can not enter a planets atmosphere, modules are lifted to orbit by specially designed Lifters such as the Tsuga Heavy Lifter (thank you Joe Heck for getting me started thinking about TL 9 worlds). The 50 MW fision reactor provides a surplus of 43.234 MW to power modules and weapons turrets. The modules usually draw on the power supply of the Tempere, however, some have their own power supply and one module has a 200 MW fusion reactor which can feed surplus power to the ship. Gravity is provided by spinning the entire ship. The spin is usually stopped while approaching a world to make docking and cargo handling easier. A flight crew of five is carried to man the Viiborg fuel skimmer and/or Helkana shuttle. If additional personnel are needed they can be carried in quarters modules. The Viiborg is built on Mnemosyne (0232 Foreven sector) in the wilds. While several relic ships exist at Mnemosyne, the Tempere is the backbone of Mnemosyne commerce and exploration.
