Voroshilef-Class Battleship

BARD PAPER: SARA5002

Voroshilef-Class Battleship

In order to adequately reinforce the defenses of the Domain, every possible starship is benign impressed to service. Squadron after squadron of mothballed battleships is benign reactivated, refurbished, and pressed into the line to hold back the raiding Vargr.

Long ago, a squadron of Voroshilef-class battleships was retired from active service, transferred to reserve fleet, and ultimately parted in orbit around Mora/Spinward Marches (2924 C367300-8) until they could be scrapped. These ships were always second-class battleship, never intended for use on the main battlefronts, but in the Marches, when used against the Vargr, they promised to be reasonably efficient.

The Voroshilef is an old Imperial design, removed from active service long before Rebellion and Virus Wars. However a number of mothballed Voroshilefs were re-activated during the rebellion, and some of them may still be operating within Regency, Vilds and Vampire Fleets.

Though the Voroshilef-class is outdated, they are still considerable opponents for just about any target. Voroshilefs massive armor can withstand hits from 500 MJ/cm² lasers, 40 GJ/cm² particle beams, and its meson screen is designed to repel 22.5 GJ meson gun hits.

Voroshilef has quite large fuel tanks, allowing it to make 2 separate 3-parsec jumps and still have enough fuel for 29 G-hours thrust, or maximum of 3 separate 3-parsec jumps with 10 G-hours thrust.

The ship is approximately as large as a city block^[1], higher than 17-story building^[2], and its fuel tanks contain enough liquid to fill over 400 olympic-sized swimming pools^[3].

The ship does not have Grav drives (not a slightest change, for they would take too much surface area). However, assuming that HEPlaR drives have thrust vectoring, this ship can take off and land on planets where local gravity is less than 2G.

Notes

Total Fuel Tankage: 2,035,806.3 m3 (145,414.7 tons).
Fuel scoops (3% of ship surface), fills tanks in 6.06 hours.
Fuel purification machinery (1.27GW), 48 hours to refine 2,035,806.3 m3.
Mass and price includes five 95-ton Shuttles.
Crew requirements are calculated by using "Modified FFS" crew model.

This design is based on the data found in Battle Raider and Rebellion Sourcebook. However the ship has now only a fixed 6-hex PEMS sensor instead of the fixed 8-hex sensor shown in BR datasheet. The BR value is obviously an error, since a 200.000-ton hull can have up to 170 m diameter fixed antenna, and the diameter of a 8-hex antenna is 400 m.

[1] Average city block is 200 x 200 m square.
[2] Assuming that each story is 3 meters high.
[3] 25 x 50 meters, 4 meters deep.
