Length: 680m.
Width: 74m.
Height: 48m.
Mass: 162,000 tonnes.
Power Source: Main Tokamak reactor (~5m DIA torus corona). Magnetic containment field bound hydrogen-based mix fusion core. Twin back-up reactors (~1m DIA torus corona each). Used together or apart during refuelling and maintenance of primary or during emergencies.
Power Banks: Rated 710.4MW. Each main and back up reactor is joined with multiple power bank relays, which act as electrical reservoirs storing and distributing power. Without reactor energy output, the Ship could maintain nominal functions for up to 2 months.
Defensive/Space Debris Clearing Capabilities: 10 Vertical Launch Missile Silos fire 645-Halberd LRBM's (6 dorsal, 4 ventral). A cache of 30 conventional warheads, 5 nuclear warheads and 10 BCEB's. Nuclear, W120 warhead. Conventional, 600kg high explosive or sub-munition dispenser with BLU-147/B Combined Effects Bombor PBXN. 12 Heavy Rail Cannons, 40×800mm extreme velocity non-explosive tungsten carbide projectiles encased in aluminium jackets, ROF 0.4/sec. 40 Point Defence Cannons as quad L/70 style barrelled Close in Weapons System, 18x150mm tungsten carbide projectiles, ROF 4 x 350/min.
Propulsion: 2 x 12m DIA Ion drive Primary thrusters, 3 x 4m DIA Ion drive Secondary thrusters and 40 small maneuvering thrusters. Max sub-light velocity of 0.25C, achieved within ~1 hour after maximum burn output is reached.
FTL: Type 4 Beringer's Shroud Generator. Vessel enveloped in a cloak of dark matter. Top shroud safe velocity of 48C, maximum 55C. Top speed of engine output and Shroud speed achieved within ~3 hours.
Crew Compliment: 400 + 60 additional passengers if required. 220 military personnel. 100 combined scientists, engineers and specialists. 80 support staff including Galley crew and cleaners.
Command Structure: Titan Commander, rank of Colonel. 2nd in Command, rank of Major. Each with a junior officer as Aide-De-Camp. 3 Captains, 15 Lieutenants, NCO's and Troopers.
Food production: Approximately 26% of Ship volume is allocated to hydroponics bays and protein slabs. With all excess production preserved as long-life products. Water usage is strictly monitored and controlled on Titans to ensure wastage is minimal. Water reserves should last up to 4 years for a full Titan crew. With additional stock harvested by scavengers from space ice if required.
Cargo: 20 Wayfarers, 4 Scavengers, 24 UAV's, 10 Behemoths, heavy mining and refining equipment, initial colony structure packs (dwellings and work platforms), 250km of prefabricated fencing as 5 rolls with attachments for Behemoth coupling, in addition to 1,500kg of long-life rations.
Additional information: Titan class ships are equipped with 2 advanced laboratories to cover both extensive geological and biological research imperative to the Titan's core expedition mandates. Along with the Bridge, Galley, Infirmary, Hydroponics Bays, Officer's quarters, Enlisted quarters, Civilian quarters and several recreational rooms, 6 gyms, and a Brig. The Cargo Bay itself taking up almost 35% of the ship's internal volume. Able to both leave and enter an atmosphere, coupled with VTOL. Titans are both the spear point of exploration and ready to plant seeds of colony ships.
