Dierah-class Long-range Explorer 1

This is a Dierah-class long-range explorer I designed for a Traveller setting novel I'm trying to develop. It's a one-of-kind, 200-ton ship with a Jump-6 jump capacity.

I worked out all the game stats using the GURPS Traveller rules. In GURPS it's a Tech Level 12 ship; by regular Traveller game rules it's Tech Level 15.

This is commissioned art, done by the brilliant Irvin Jackson *ILJackson who created the actual visual based on some loose descriptions and game stats I gave him. He did an amazing job


This ship is also for the Traveller Group's "Old Ship is New" challenge. The Dierah-class was initially inspired by the 200-ton Far Trader and the classic 100-ton Scout; but I wanted a brand-new design and a ship that could actually do some distance
