Naval Forces of the Spinward Marches: 303-1094
Sword Worlds update:
As reported earlier this year the newest capital ship
in Gram's Navy, a 500,000-dton battleship was going
through final space trials before commissioning. The
vessel completed trials on 186-1094 and was moved to
the main naval supply docks for final fitting out. On
299-1094 the vessel was commissioned and officially
designated as the flagship of Gram's battle fleet.
With the shifting of the Generaladmiral's flag, the
new battleship becomes the fourteenth unit to hold
the flagship title of Ormen hin Lange. In accordance
with Gram's naval tradition, the thirteenth flagship
and the six sister ships that remain in commission
were all renamed on the same date as the new Ormen
hin Lange was commissioned. These vessels have been
officially designated as units of the Kurt R.
Olufsen-class all of which are named after Gramish
naval heroes.[Note 1]
Our first issue of 1095 will contain information on
the latest flagship of Gram's fleet. This article is
on the thirteenth flagship, a 400,000-dton battleship
renamed the Kurt R. Olufsen, the first unit to use GTL
10 technology in a major naval project. (See biography
at end of the article).
Kurt R Olufsen's construction was begun on 015-1076
in Gram's main naval shipyard with the first component
of the vessel's 1.5-TJ Neutral Particle Beam Spinal
mount. At the time this was the most powerful spinal
mount in the Sword Worlds Confederation. In addition
to the advanced spinal weapon, the Olufsen also
incorporated the latest technology in the areas of
jump drive, reaction maneuver drive, electronics, hull
and armor materials. An additional feature is the
ability to cross connect the jump, maneuver drive and
auxiliary fuel tanks to extend the Jump range to 6
parsecs or maneuver thrust for 2,420 GRds. The vessel
was also the first to deploy the Hammer-class 40-dton
fighter. Construction was completed by 275-1081 and
the vessel was commissioned in 034-1082. On 094-1082
the Olufsen became the thirteenth flagship of Gram's
battle fleet with the shifting of the Grossadmiral's
colors and received the title of Ormen hin Lange,
for purposes of this article we will continue to use
the current ship's name of Kurt R. Olufsen or
Olufsen.
With the outbreak of the Fourth Frontier War in 1082
the Sword Worlds high command began moving assets
towards the Darrian, Vilis, and Querion borders. In
early 1084 the Olufsen led the combined invasion fleet
across the border to capture the Darrian Confederation
worlds of Anselhome, Entrope, and Winston.
Unfortunately, Gram's battle fleet and the Olufsen
were not in a position to move against the Darrian
counterattack that captured Cunnonic before the
signing of the armistice between the Third Imperium
and Zhodani Consulate. For the next ten years the
Olufsen participated in showing the flag along the
borders of the Sword Worlds Confederation.
Additionally, the vessel engaged in the blockade of
Joyeuse and several border skirmishes with Darrians.
With the technologies used in the Olufsen proven and
updated, the specifications for the next battleship,
were drafted. The end result is Gram's 500,000-dtons
flagship.
Ship's compliment is 738 officers and enlisted.
Several factors helped to reduce the ship's manning
needs. The first was the use of advanced automation
systems for the Jump Drive. Another was the use of
fire control centers for the turret weapon systems.
To compensate for the reduction in the Weapons
Department and for various ground or space boarding
action 820 Naval Forces Special Detachment troops,
similar to Imperial Marines, are carried. These troops
are trained to crew turrets if the fire control
centers are knocked off line. Finally, the battleship
carries a fighter group of 252 pilots and support crew.
When fully crewed the Olufsen carries 1,800 personnel
on a standard cruise. If the mission profile requires
more troops then the fighter group can be detached
and those quarters used as troop barracks.
In addition to the 36 fighters, the Olufsen class also
carries an assortment of sub-craft. The auxiliary
craft include 6 launches, 4 Ship's Boats, 4 Modular
Cutters and 4 Fuel Skimmers. One launch or Ship's
Boat is designated as the Captain's gig. A second
Launch or Ship's Boat would be designated for use by
a Flag officer, say an Admiral, when one is on board.

Aux. 3: 40-ton Hammer-class Fighter (TL10)
The Hammer-Class the next generation fighter to
replace the Helm-Class [Note 1] in the Sword Worlds
Confederation Naval mix of space forces. The Olufsen
carries a complement of 36 Hammer-class fighters. The
major differences between the two fighters are an
improved space frame, a slight increase in space
acceleration, enhanced Radscanner range, the inclusion
of an instant chameleon coating, and more powerful
X-ray Lasers or Xasers. The vehicle's frame is
constructed using the latest in advanced composite
laminates. Instead of the trio 102-MJ Rainbow lasers
carried by the Helm, the new fighter uses a trio of
391-MJ Xasers. These lasers give the Hammer an
engagement envelope of 10,000 miles earlier than the
Helm. Finally the sensor suite has been more closely
integrated, which doubled the Radscanner range from
1,000 to 2,000 miles and reduced weight.

Sword Worlds update:
As reported earlier this year the newest capital ship
in Gram's Navy, a 500,000-dton battleship was going
through final space trials before commissioning. The
vessel completed trials on 186-1094 and was moved to
the main naval supply docks for final fitting out. On
299-1094 the vessel was commissioned and officially
designated as the flagship of Gram's battle fleet.
With the shifting of the Generaladmiral's flag, the
new battleship becomes the fourteenth unit to hold
the flagship title of Ormen hin Lange. In accordance
with Gram's naval tradition, the thirteenth flagship
and the six sister ships that remain in commission
were all renamed on the same date as the new Ormen
hin Lange was commissioned. These vessels have been
officially designated as units of the Kurt R.
Olufsen-class all of which are named after Gramish
naval heroes.[Note 1]
Our first issue of 1095 will contain information on
the latest flagship of Gram's fleet. This article is
on the thirteenth flagship, a 400,000-dton battleship
renamed the Kurt R. Olufsen, the first unit to use GTL
10 technology in a major naval project. (See biography
at end of the article).
Kurt R Olufsen's construction was begun on 015-1076
in Gram's main naval shipyard with the first component
of the vessel's 1.5-TJ Neutral Particle Beam Spinal
mount. At the time this was the most powerful spinal
mount in the Sword Worlds Confederation. In addition
to the advanced spinal weapon, the Olufsen also
incorporated the latest technology in the areas of
jump drive, reaction maneuver drive, electronics, hull
and armor materials. An additional feature is the
ability to cross connect the jump, maneuver drive and
auxiliary fuel tanks to extend the Jump range to 6
parsecs or maneuver thrust for 2,420 GRds. The vessel
was also the first to deploy the Hammer-class 40-dton
fighter. Construction was completed by 275-1081 and
the vessel was commissioned in 034-1082. On 094-1082
the Olufsen became the thirteenth flagship of Gram's
battle fleet with the shifting of the Grossadmiral's
colors and received the title of Ormen hin Lange,
for purposes of this article we will continue to use
the current ship's name of Kurt R. Olufsen or
Olufsen.
With the outbreak of the Fourth Frontier War in 1082
the Sword Worlds high command began moving assets
towards the Darrian, Vilis, and Querion borders. In
early 1084 the Olufsen led the combined invasion fleet
across the border to capture the Darrian Confederation
worlds of Anselhome, Entrope, and Winston.
Unfortunately, Gram's battle fleet and the Olufsen
were not in a position to move against the Darrian
counterattack that captured Cunnonic before the
signing of the armistice between the Third Imperium
and Zhodani Consulate. For the next ten years the
Olufsen participated in showing the flag along the
borders of the Sword Worlds Confederation.
Additionally, the vessel engaged in the blockade of
Joyeuse and several border skirmishes with Darrians.
With the technologies used in the Olufsen proven and
updated, the specifications for the next battleship,
were drafted. The end result is Gram's 500,000-dtons
flagship.
Ship's compliment is 738 officers and enlisted.
Several factors helped to reduce the ship's manning
needs. The first was the use of advanced automation
systems for the Jump Drive. Another was the use of
fire control centers for the turret weapon systems.
To compensate for the reduction in the Weapons
Department and for various ground or space boarding
action 820 Naval Forces Special Detachment troops,
similar to Imperial Marines, are carried. These troops
are trained to crew turrets if the fire control
centers are knocked off line. Finally, the battleship
carries a fighter group of 252 pilots and support crew.
When fully crewed the Olufsen carries 1,800 personnel
on a standard cruise. If the mission profile requires
more troops then the fighter group can be detached
and those quarters used as troop barracks.
In addition to the 36 fighters, the Olufsen class also
carries an assortment of sub-craft. The auxiliary
craft include 6 launches, 4 Ship's Boats, 4 Modular
Cutters and 4 Fuel Skimmers. One launch or Ship's
Boat is designated as the Captain's gig. A second
Launch or Ship's Boat would be designated for use by
a Flag officer, say an Admiral, when one is on board.

Aux. 3: 40-ton Hammer-class Fighter (TL10)
The Hammer-Class the next generation fighter to
replace the Helm-Class [Note 1] in the Sword Worlds
Confederation Naval mix of space forces. The Olufsen
carries a complement of 36 Hammer-class fighters. The
major differences between the two fighters are an
improved space frame, a slight increase in space
acceleration, enhanced Radscanner range, the inclusion
of an instant chameleon coating, and more powerful
X-ray Lasers or Xasers. The vehicle's frame is
constructed using the latest in advanced composite
laminates. Instead of the trio 102-MJ Rainbow lasers
carried by the Helm, the new fighter uses a trio of
391-MJ Xasers. These lasers give the Hammer an
engagement envelope of 10,000 miles earlier than the
Helm. Finally the sensor suite has been more closely
integrated, which doubled the Radscanner range from
1,000 to 2,000 miles and reduced weight.
