The schooner is a fast, lightly armed ship. They are often used as yachts or courier vessels. It is a perfect vessel for an itinerant Great Hero and his companions, whether a lone wolf or the member of a great martial order.
This St. Andrew-class Schooner was designed as a high end courier, but has been refitted as an exploration/ mission vessel. It is lightly armed (for the most dangerous parts of the Wilds at any rate,) and is equipped at TL A, which makes it quite a formidable vessel even with its light armament.
The specific ship that will be described in detail will be Darvis' ship, the Trinity. Since I will be covering this vessel in some detail it will be covered in several posts.
The Trinity is built on a 50000 cuft, cylindrical robot hull. It is outfitted with two triple turrets one on its ventral and one on its dorsal side. It has a superdense armored hull with a super thermal conducting, dynamic instant chameleon surface, which can be electrified and is capable of absorbing power to charge its 1,125,000 MWs Energy Bank, which is primarily used to power the ship's weapons and force field. It also contains a fusion power plant capable of producing 240 MW. It has a top acceleration of about 120 Gs. It's Barnes-Gutierrez Hyperspace engine is shunt capable. It also has a countragravity engine, which allows it to land and take off from a world even without its Barnes-Gutierrez engine, or park 1000 feet in the air, anchored by a gravity anchor.
Accommodations consists of a luxury owner's cabin and five cabins which can berth ten (though Darvis runs them at single occupancy.) There is a chapel, of course, and an automed bay/sickbay. The ship also boasts a workshop complete with minifactories.
The vessel contains an advanced communication and navigation suite, including a subspace beacon driven autopilot navigation system, a universal GPS unit, VORN system, inertial navigation system, an advanced proximity detection system and a gravity sensor navigation system. It also has advanced military grade sensors including radscanners, multiscanners and gravscanners.
