Affiliation:Kaeshana Confederation, Open Market | Firemane Industries & Technology | Closed Market to approved buyers only.
Manufacturer: Firemane Industries & Technology
Model: LSF1
Modularity: Yes, very much. This will be covered more in description as the modularity relates to the cargo capacity.
Production: Minor.
Material: Durasteel etc., regular ship components.
Classification: Super-Freighter
Length: 1000m
Width: 25m
Height: 30m
Armament:
Hangar:
Special Features:
Maneuverability: 16 without modules attached, 19 when fully loaded.
Speed Rating: 16 without modules attached, 19 when fully loaded.
Hyperdrive Class: 2, backup 10.
Strengths:
Description:
The Liorre is a new generation in freighter design. Created to allow Firemane to ship a variety of items efficiently and quickly it integrates a unique modular system.
The Liorre’s front is fairly conventional; a set of thrusters, bridge, crew quarters, repair areas and recreation areas. The rear is also fairly standard; the engines, repair and workroom and storage area. It’s the middle section which is the most important however.
Connecting the two areas though is a long spine 800 metres long. This spine is in fact a corridor which runs the length of the ship. Two mini-trams allows crew and droids to quickly move along the 1km length of the vessel.
This spine is the interface which connects also to the modules. Twenty modules can be attached to the Liorre. Each module is 40 metres long by 20 wide and 20 high. The module types can be mixed, but these are the following types:
Each module is attached via magnetic and physical clamps. Usually a hauler will move in underneath, attach to the module before it’s released and fly off with it. The Liorre can also land on low gravity or on space stations or skyhooks. From there it can unload the modules directly to the ground.
The Liorre carries some 50 crew and some 250 droids, mainly maintenance and haulers. It is equipped with escape pods.
For defences, the ship is equipped with regular civilian deflector shields, regular hull plating and 7 quad laser cannons. There are placed 3 at each end and one in the centre-top. Defending such a large and vulnerable ship though is much more likely to fall to escorting friendly ships.
Development Thread: Yes: http://starwarsrp.net/topic/49669-shipping-is-fun-firemane/
Intent: To create a large freighter which is able to carry a vast amount of people and/or cargo which is also versatile enough to work in a variety of roles. Such a ship is minimally armed and protected and thus is utterly useless in combat.
Who Can Use This:
Firemane/Kaeshana Confederation: Always.
Open market: through purchase via storefront.
Primary Source: N/A, though the Connestoga Class provided this writer with a guide regarding crew, cargo space etc. Even though I went a completely separate direction in all areas, it is prudent to mention I got some establishing ideas from it.

Classification: Super-Freighter
Length: 1000m
Width: 25m
Height: 30m
Armament:
- 7 x quad laser cannons. These are placed so they best try and cover all angles of attack.
Hangar:
- 2 small shuttles for moving crew in or out.
Special Features:
- Can transport up to 60,000 passengers if all 20 modules are used for this.
- Has about 320,000 cubic metres of storage space between 20 modules.
- Has two engine systems, one at the front, one at the rear.
- Modules can be detached from ship via hauler or on landing.
- Mini tram for moving from one end of the ship to the other.
Maneuverability: 16 without modules attached, 19 when fully loaded.
Speed Rating: 16 without modules attached, 19 when fully loaded.
Hyperdrive Class: 2, backup 10.
Strengths:
- Vast carrying capacity. As spelled out in description below, the Liorre can carry 60,000 passengers or 320,000 cubic metres of space. This makes it one of the galaxy’s largest and most versatile freighters.
- Slow and cumbersome. Fully unloaded, the Liorre is about as agile as a Star Destroyer, but fully loaded it’s only slightly more agile than an Immortal or other lumbering craft.
- Weak protection. With only 8 quad lasers to cover such a large area, this ship requires escorting as its few weapons will do little to deter even casual raiders. Furthermore the shields and armour of the ship are basic and likewise of little protection.
- Structural weakness. The 800m ‘corridors’ connecting the front and rear where the modules are docked is a long and vulnerable spine. If broken the ship breaks in half and is essentially lost.

- Passengers: Each module has two levels of 1500 passengers for a total of 3000 – a number obtained by comparing with a jumbo jet and multiplying to fit the size expansion. A third level contains crew, security and other necessaries.
- Bulk Cargo: This is essentially a large hollow box. In here ore, grain, wood or any number of other large items can be stored. Areas can be sectioned off to allow multiple items to be carried.
- Liquid: This is similar to bulk cargo, but has sealed compartments so that if there is a breach only part of the cargo is lost.
- Gas: A specially sealed compartment similar to such vehicles or ships on Earth today.
- Deployment: Can carry up to ten light vehicles or 8 tanks/artillery. If used for attack craft it can carry 8 fighters or 4 bombers.
