168.0 tons - Quarters (24 Second-Level)
37.0 tons - Consumable/Spares/Bulk extension to 300% / 6 months overall, incl. single mining rig supply
Porthos Notes:
- Equipment replaces water tank of Poseidon.
- May carry and deploy in houseruled large bay either:
- four individual small craft / fighters / vehicles / satellites up to 200t
- single mobile structures / space stations / advanced support vehicles up to 800t
(for rules conformance assume disassembled carriage in cargo)
- Acts as multipurpose deployment and supply tender as well as fuel retrieval tanker for Aramis rig.
- May provide tactical auxiliary stationkeeping for spacecraft up to 90,000 tons for up to one day.
- May provide tactical recovery for spacecraft up to 72,000 tons over distances up to 5 AU (... for anything past one million km count your recovery time in weeks and
months though).
[ Aramis / Mining Rig / 800-ton Mobile Structure / ~50x50m footprint, four-hex / Single-Level (18m height) / 2135 - Tech Level C ]
Chassis Weight : 98.5 tons per hex (CF80 Fortress, nominal)
Internal Armor : 5.0 tons per hex (nominal for CF80)
Sealing : 8.5 tons per hex (Environmental Sealing)
Motive System : 4.0 tons per hex
Power System : 4.5 tons per hex (1.5 MP, fission)
Equipment : 80.0 tons per hex
Hex A : Water Tank (28.7t) : 33.0t
Hex A : 3x Fuel Tank (11.6t) : 40.0t
Hex A : 8.2 days food/parts : 1.0t
Hex A : Communications Gear : 1.0t
Hex A : Backhoe (LCP) : 5.0t
Hex B : Water Tank (28.7t) : 33.0t
Hex B : 3x Fuel Tank (11.6t) : 40.0t
Hex B : 12.3 days food/parts : 1.5t
Hex B : Dumper (5 tons) : 5.5t
Hex C : 6x Fuel Tank (11.6t) : 80.0t
Hex D : 6x Fuel Tank (11.6t) : 80.0t
Crew : 17 Enlisted + 3 Officers (20 total)
Cost : 20,115,900 C-Bills
Aramis Notes:
- CF80 base vehicle costs 17,982,000 C-Bills sans 320t mounted equipment.
- Chassis weight and CF-discrete "internal armor" derived from dual tracked tractor/trailer combination.
- Dumper and Backhoe represent mining conveyor belt system with on/off mass flow capacity of light cargo platform.
- 5-ton minimum does not apply for MS fission engines. For fluff consider single 18-ton reactor spread over all four hexes.
Aramis Production:
- 11.5t fuel - one tank - produced per day (cap-off every 2.5 weeks at 200 tons).
- 28.75% production efficiency relative to available power.
- Asteroid with minimum 6.0% H2O required due to loading requirements.
- Supply reserves for 3 days beyond cycle onboard.
P.S. Operationally serve the L1 point of a gas giant in a system, in particular - due to distances involved - in otherwise already colonized M and K class systems. Aramis would be deployed on moons of the gas giant. For a K2V the L1 point of a gas giant beyond the snow line and proximity limit would be located about 0.184 AU or 27.5 million km from the planet, with a colony on a habitable planet 3.15 AU or around 5 days at 1g away.
