Yet, Traveller goes by volume...

It think it's going to be difficult to translate Dilbar directly into a
Traveller analogue because we have nothing to use the volume that a
J-drive or J-fuel would require.  If we keep it as a non-starship, she
would probably have something on the order of M3 or so, perhaps M4.
