Subject: Imperiallines J-6 Frontier Transport

The following is my conversion of the Frontier Transport, presented in the 
World Tamer's Handbook, into the Jump-6 version used in the Rebellion 
Sourcebook adventure, "Nail Mission," or at least some facsimile thereof, 
in TNE stats.  The basic purpose of the top-secret J-6 transport was 
missions of utmost importance to the Imperium.  J-6 transports were used to 
carry the news of the Rebellion, for instance, across the galaxy to the 
edges of the Imperium as fast as possible.  Several of these ships survive 
today in the service of the Regency Navy.

NOTES
The Frontier Transport was originally built as a multi-purpose cargo vessel 
used for trade in undeveloped areas.  The design was a proprietary design 
belonging to Imperiallines, that primarily served worlds situated off the 
main trade routes.

This variant of the Frontier Transport was built for exclusive use by 
Imperial officials in the days of the Third Imperium.  Equipped for Jump-6, 
the ship was used to carry equipment, personnel and information over great 
distances in a short period of time.  Many Regency governments maintain 
secret use of these ships and contain them in clandestine orbital 
facilities.

Some ships dispense with some or all of the 10 gunners, as the turrets can 
be controlled from the two MFDs, which also allows one of the command crew 
to be dispensed with.  This allows the required complement to be reduced to 
as low as 33, although without crew, the turrets cannot be fired under 
local control if something happens to the MFDs.

Fuel scoops.  Fuel purification machinery (19.75 MW), 24 hours to refine 
21,800 m3 (1557.4 tons).
