The Ke-L6-1a Henry Chen-class Training ship is a mobile training facility that became available in YE 31.
Under the Military Buildup Limitations, the Henry Chen are considered warships.
The Henry Chen-class Training Ship is a mobile Star Army of Yamatai training facility. The concept was to improve the quality of soldier training by providing hands on experience. It is a mobile facility that can take groups of trainees to various environments for their training. It is named after Taisho Henry Chen. The Henry Chen has simulators that recreate most common Star Army of Yamatai ship sections.
The initial design concept for the Henry Chen was started in YE 30. With the advent of the Second Mishhuvurthyar War, the development effort was expedited. Some changes were made to the design as a result of the war. It entered service in YE 31.

There are control rooms where instructors can monitor the simulators and the trainees. Instructors can also program situations for the trainees to deal with.
For starships, the simulators consist of working simulations of most common Star Army of Yamatai ships such as the Plumeria-class (2D) Medium Gunship, Yui-class Scout and Nozomi-class Scout. The simulators typically include bridge, engineering systems as these are the most typical duty locations. When in use, the simulators function in a realistic manner, and are capable of simulating gravity, inertia, combat situations. Thru the use of controlled Nodal System activity can create realistic battle damage, including minor explosions.
Typical configuration:
There are two vehicle bays on the Henry Chen. They are two decks high and are located on decks thirteen and fourteen. Adjacent to the vehicle bay on deck is the vehicle maintenance area.
