Tea Kettle class, Type ZZ, TL 5

I worked up a Tech Level 5 ship in the mid '90s, using the MegaTraveller and Hard Times rules. The intent was to design a functional TL5 ship that adventurers could encounter during a Hard Times campaign. It is essentially an asteroid mining ship with a bit of cargo space. It would never be able to get off the ground of even a small planet on its own, but could conceivably be put into orbit by a solid fuel rocket.
