Riftjumper Rift Transport

design by Peter Gray


Overview: This vessel was originally mentioned in Chris Griffens Corridor sector writeup (see http://www.panpub.com/traveller/sectors/corridor/cor_m.html ). Originally I thought it was impossible to build a ship with a comfortable margin AND tankage for two Jump-4s. However by cutting back on maneuver fuel to the bone I was able to make it work effectively, though I would not recommend it for combat.

The Riftjumper is a tech level 15 design in standard use by many communities in low density stellar regions. The ship can easily conquer the deepest of rifts through its double J-4 capability. The vessel can carry up to twenty passengers and 150 displacement tons in cargo. It does not carry a small craft, and must land directly on a world in order to load and offload cargo.
