The Interstellar Lifesaver class Lifeboat is a TL–10 dedicated Life Boats.
Description
The Lifeboat (ISW Period) is one of many production variants exist in both Imperial and Terran vessels. This design was generally for smaller ships; larger ships often had especially designed lifeboats.
Normal capacity is 22 low berths, the last 2 berths reserved for the crew. When in use, the lifeboat generally had low power usage, a distress beacon and minimal power allocated to the low berths and computer. When the 2 days of internally stored air was exhausted, the crew would take the last 2 low berths.
With no air lock, the lifeboat cannot take on more passengers in space or in hostile atmospheres unless everyone is in protective gear (a usual precaution on commercial ships is to have passengers wear Vacc suits during high stress maneuvers).
