S&P Gonzo Starstreaker Family Spacevan
Ship Class: Civilian Transport
Ship Role: Transport/Freight Hauler
Ship Length: 51.5 meters
Agility (A): 1
Defensive (D): 1
Offensive (O): 1
Speed (S): 1
Special Gear: 2 (Passenger Space, Cargo Capacity)
Description:
Sedd and P'tetic were a pair of Neimodians who had a dream. They saw a saturated market of pricey freighters and starships that most of the average citizen on moderate-economy worlds couldn't even dream of affording on their own. So they founded S&P Industries, with the goal of crafting affordable civilian starships that any average person could buy!
To that end, they developed some unique technology patented by them, and used the lightest and cheapest material that still (somehow) passed the basic safety inspection tests. They also knew that having stylish and eye-catching designs were important. Thus was the gonzo spacevan introduced. It was stylish, gorgeous, had catchy flashlights and a massive transparasteel primary viewport that extended from the cockpit to half the top deck's lounge.
Having learnt from the debacle of the SU-Series X Traveller, Sedd and P'tetic factored in the cost of a unique shield system, ensuring the spacevan at least had some better protection, but they needed to replace the class 10 hyperdrive, since that was still exported and it was expensive in the overall cost. So they developed their own hyperdrive system, insisting they can make something better that was also cheaper.
They instead succeeded in creating the first commercial Class 20 Hyperdrive.
Despite all the downsides in terms of mobility, the spacevan has an exceedingly efficient fuel system, life support redundancies, and a uniquely simple-yet-effective power core.
Due to an awareness of hostile elements and something as gonzo looking as the spacevan would attract the wrong kind of attention, and so they added four S&P original laser cannon turrets. These cannons have a fire rate of one bolt ever thirty seconds. They had invented the equivalent of a laser musket.
Unlike the SUX, the spacevan saw some extremely modest success. Well, they counted that one willing buyer as a success, really.
The spacevan requires one pilot, and can carry up to 10 passengers, has four escape pods, and can carry up 500 tons of cargo.
Feel like taking on life on the slow lane?
