civilian spaceships
The first spaceships that humans built were government craft,
but in the late 21st century, the large scale production of spaceships was
undertaken by commercial interests in order to meet Earth’s growing need
for rare elements which could be stripped from the asteroid belt. Now
80% of all spacecraft are civilian, the majority are freighters which travel
far and wide in the known galaxy. They range from personal spaceships
owned by the wealthy to colossus freighters many kilometers long,
weighing many millions of tons. Freighters create prosperity through trade,
corporate exploring craft open up new frontiers across the known galaxy,
passenger craft ferry tourists to exotic worlds and colossus colony ships
transport entire populations to new worlds.
The spaceship manufacturing sector employs many billions of
people in the construction of civilian spaceships and their greatest source
of income is derived from the construction of what many see as mundane
craft but the technology is often at the cutting edge, barely behind the
military’s. Their purposeful exteriors may not excite young teenage boys
but those in the know look to these craft as the true kings of space.

These spacecraft are some of the most
incredible vehicles available and yet are only
available to citizens of the wealthiest system: Golk.
They represent the ultimate in materialistic excess
today. Golk’s unparalleled productivity is due to vast
cybernetic systems which churn out machinery and
goods which are at the cutting edge of hi-technology.
Due to this, the four hundred million inhabitants of
this ultra-wealthy planet enjoy the highest per-capita
wealth in the known galaxy, even exceeding that of
the peoples of the Yark Empire by a factor of around
10 to 1!
The Ariboo 3 is an enormously popular
‘personal spacecraft’ of enormous size but fits the
category only due to it’s usage. It is often heavily
customized to taste and outfitted to sumptuous levels
with exotic surface finishes and art adorning the
interior. They are usually multi-capable with roles such
as galactic explorer, transporter or warship, which they
fill with aplomb equally. Ariboo 3’s are seen across the

known galaxy and draw gasps when spotted due to
their extravagant nature.
Designed and built by the Markil Engineering
company they are heavily automated and require only
twenty flight crew, their medical facilities are entirely
robotised and the armaments are also fully automatic.
The navigation system is Level ZZZ precise and
incredibly fast and the Ariboo 3 class can even adopt a
form of ‘stealth cloaking’.
The most famous of these ships was the
vessel who’s registered name was unusual - 9764. This
ship was taken by it’s owner Ashaw Trilbort to find the
lost colony world of Hmashilt, and was involved in the
conflict which destroyed the nearby inhabited asteroid.
The ship was extensively damaged and still floats in
orbit around Hmasilt.
Most of these vessels are used for private
excursions to exotic planets for the most indulgent
form of luxury adventure holidays. Justine Redmond,
7
the owner of the Interplanetary Zoo on Golk employs
just such a craft to travel across the galaxy and
capture all manner of beasts and bring them safely
home. Her spacecraft aptly named the ‘Darwin’ is
equipped with a variety of ground transport vehicles
and can also boast of an extensive scientific laboratory
which is used for studying the specimens for disease’s
before bringing them out of their home system.
The interstellar customs and police have also
taken to the Ariboo 3 class because of their extensive
capabilities. They employ them as unmarked vessels
and this has lead to many a smuggler becoming a
victim of the Golk authorities entrapment.
Several of these craft have been offered in the
used spacecraft market and despite the high asking
price they are snapped up very quickly.

A very large freighter, the Ayail class is
designed to carry enormous containers that hold an
enormous open volume of just about anything that
needs to be transported around the galaxy - even
other spacecraft!
These craft are amongst the biggest civilian
spaceships that have ever been made and are a rare
sight indeed with just 32 being made. Made in the
Dilcom system which is one of the newer sectors of
space they have contributed much to the burgeoning
economy of the new colony world. They feature
advanced systems which would put many military
ships to shame, such as their sophisticated navigation
systems which can assist hyperspace jumps down to
an accuracy of several hundred metres! They also have
a secret anti-missile system which was only revealed
when the Redara military tried to intercept a fleet of
them. The Redaran military suffered no losses except
to their pride when they attacked with a barrage of
missiles which were rendered 100% ineffective within
 9
a matter of minutes. The incident made the news on a to 3080 of the known 3812 settled systems.
galactic level and created a sense of awe about these
special machines.
Extremely expensive they earn their keep by
performing freighter tasks that can’t be undertaken
by any others. They have moved everything from
fruit to unfinished destroyers with ease, and security.
The large containers are virtually an open-space
interior which can support a range of modular racking
which can hold container modules from K1 to AA
size. They also feature a small number of shuttles
to assist in loading but this is primarily handled by
third party shuttles capable of utilising the ‘Adaptable
Loader/Unloader interface’. This entails a shuttle
‘piggybacking’ the load in a similar fashion to the Ayail
class itself and when the craft meet they use a series
of robotic arms to pass the containers from shuttle to
freighter. It is quite elegant to watch for those who are
unused to such things.
The Ayail class has been used around the
known galaxy, having the enviable record of travelling

A very purposeful looking craft the Bahlrous
class of freighter is a common sight in the wealthy
Rulis sector of space. They were designed to transport
troops and their equipment in the Trin-Camult war,
but the first ship was completed 4 days before the
end of the conflict, leaving an enormous oversupply of
new freighters on the market. These were fast, very
defence capable ships and were snapped up by smart
investors. These days they ply their trade across the
Rulis sector in a timely manner. Their 50 lyd cruising
speed is sufficient to transport the rare and expensive
Yaris fruit from the Fewish world to many of the
nearest planets in just a few days. The wealthiest
people across the sector can then enjoy the fruit at its
best, after their ripening.
The Deost conglomerate made them
somewhat famous when they featured strongly in
advertising wearing brightly multi-colored exterior
paint schemes which made many look differently to
the usual workhorse’s of space. The paint returned to
 13
normal after eight years but many still associate the
Deost conglomerate with the public relations ploy that
made it a household name, and the Bahlrous class
famous.
They also have been adopted by a few
pirates in the unruly Pasik sector, mainly for their
incredibly hardened exteriors which are incredibly
difficult to penetrate with the moderately powered
customs and police craft of the area. However they
are gradually becoming a rarer sight as they become
more difficult and expensive to maintain. Many of
the unique electronic systems are now starting to
show failure rates that are unacceptable to the local
authorities and all the spare parts have been owned
by the Easil consortium since manufacture. Their
unique, uncompromising, approach to design makes
them being copied by a rival spaceship manufacturer
prohibitive. Those that do survive however are likely to
continue for a few more decades yet.

Oorstanisclav The Third is named after the combination of size and wealth it creates. There are
ruler of the Yark Empire who lived for 420 years after other corporate ships but none like this incredible
inheriting the fledgling colony world from his father vessel, as this ship generates many billions of galactic
Oorstanisclav The Second. It is unparalleled in its dollars per week as it traverses the galaxy. It’s ability

to absorb many large freighters loads of raw minerals
daily and its ability to manufacture vast quantities of
hi-tech commercial wealth is simply awe inspiring.
At the time of construction this was the most
expensive spacecraft ever built but it soon repaid the
investment back to the wealthy owner - Oorstanisclav
The Third. It has been upgraded continuously but
essentially retains the same shape it was designed
with. It however was severely damaged in the Chalist
conflict of 3770 but was towed back to Yark for a
full rebuild. This time it was rebuilt with far greater
defensive and offensive abilities.
Incredibly fast, this ship travels from wealthy
sector to wealthy sector plying its trade in its vast
assortment of goods. As an enormous automated
manufacturing facility - it requires a supervisory and
maintenance crew of around 25,000. In addition there
are over 10,000 flight crew. They live permanently on
21
the ship, rarely leaving for any length of time, due to
the fact they share amongst themselves 40% of the
profit!
It is rumored that a sister ship is to be built in
the Yark colonies, however the government strongly
denies this. If it were true it would have a severe
economic impact on many worlds. It is more probable
that a new clean sheet design is being considered,
if this is the case then knowing the wealth chasing
culture of Yark it is likely to be even bigger, more
powerful and productive than the original.

The Rasers class freighter is a very rare ship coverage of the Yabba Terrorist campaign these
and is almost never seen outside the Dvelk worlds, vessels are etched into the minds of many billions.
however there are few ships which enjoy the notoriety Rwasid Honjak the enigmatic leader of the Yabba
that this class of vessel does. Due to the galaxy wide Enlightenment Movement chooses to use a fleet

of seven Rasers Class to bring horror to those who
choose to ‘dishonor’ his backward belief system.
Three invaded colony worlds form the basis of his
supporters which number in the tens of millions. One
of there best tools for coercing other people to bow
to his movement are these very capable ex-freighters
converted to military use.
The unusual asymmetrical design was first
intended to be a very capable fast freighter and was
produced in the Slipshow 2 system by a new company
- Baf Cos. They served for the first ten years doing
just as they were made to do - move goods from
system to system quickly and cheaply. The invasion
of Qradtok the home planet of the Slipshow 2 system
by YEM lead to 18 of these vessels being captured
23
and subsequently modified to accept the Mretish
Frequency Dispersal System. This is a weapon first
developed 600 years ago and due to it’s outrageous
horror was banned by the then Galactic Government.
It basically uses a chaotic wave energy which can
turn all organic matter into ‘mush’ within seconds. It’s
range depending upon it’s power could be as much as
a radius of five kilometres. The Rasers Class is a very
capable vehicle in atmospheric flight and can even out
manoeuvre some dedicated atmospheric fighters! It
has extremely powerful gravity effectors which came
into being because the Qradtok planet has variable
gravity, being between 1.2g and 1.7g.

This class of freighter is the most common
medium sized freighter in the known galaxy.
Manufactured for 70 years by the Ulyian Consortium
in their vast facilities in Earths orbit, they are the
backbone of most freight companies who need an
inexpensive, versatile and dependable vessel to
move cargo. They have a rather brutal but purposeful
design which was penned by the noted spacecraft
designer Augustus Russell before he was famous
for his more extravagant designs that were used
by the Gelk Corporation. The Volk class represents
the stereotypical view that the public has of what
a general purpose freighter looks like, and for good
reason - they are extremely common and many other
freighters have been designed with a good deal of the
Volk’s features.
Initially they were a custom ship built for Tralis
Freighters in the Lhasa system but their very low cost
 31
and reasonable performance had them being built in
ever increasing numbers for many others. They have
been used as the basis for numerous conversions to fit
other roles, and some are even the mainstay of small
military fleets.

craft are the result of an intense effort by the Earth had dominated the industry for several decades and
systems many factions to regain a market share once eventually driven the Earth system economies to the
diminished to very low levels by outdated equipment. brink of collapse. The Nostoilabesh were produced by
 33
the Qart species and had flooded the mineral market
with very cheap products to such a degree that the
Earth system central government were forced to
embark on a concentrated building program.
The design work was handed to the Dershoo
Astro Engineering Company and this helped restore
the once great conglomerate to profitability again.
After the initial batch of 35 were completed their
efficiency was noted by other companies; and various
governments, and then the orders started to come
in rapidly. Due to their size and length of build time
these orders went into a backlog queue and the sheer
demand meant they occupied the shipyard facilities for
over 100 years!
Over this time they were refined in their
design and their manufacture. They still remain the
dominant asteroid processing plant today. They are
weird looking craft and are rarely seen except by their
crew as they leave or arrive for their often several
month long shifts.

This vast class of battleship has patrolled the
Brak 2 system for over a hundred years and rather
successfully, no raid on the wealthy homeland of the
Brak species has even come close to the bejewelled
home planet. Much of this is due to the enormous size
of the Prastus Class, which at almost 16 kilometers long
is capable of housing an incredible arsenal of weapons,
both offensive and defensive.
Designed and built prior to the Euwis species’s
hostile engagement of all its neighbours in 3903, this
proved a decisive weapon in the conflict. The attack on
Brak 2 was thwarted initially by just one ship of this
class - Qafist, and when the Euwis returned with their
entire fleet - 2400 ships - these too were defeated
- by the remaining four vessels which had returned
promptly.
The Prastus class remains one of the most
capable military ships ever built, but little detail is
known about the armaments that she contains. It
is known that they house several thousand fighters
which are incredibly fast, maneuverable and armed
with a powerful anti-matter cannon. These alone
 71
probably accounted for over half of the losses by their
enemies. They also have a well shielded hull which
can only be breached by a constant barrage of energy
weapons which can cause an overload and then allow
a breach.
These vessels are also quite fast and known
to be extremely accurate in their hyperspace jumping.
The two Davis Energy Field Engines are the largest
built ever and give of a familiar red glow when idling.
They sit half exposed at the rear of the spacecraft and
are a rare sight in most sectors of space, despite the
Brak species having offered the technology for over
two hundred years to any spacecraft manufacturer
that can afford the licensing costs.
