Ship Equipment is a generic term describing structures, devices, fittings, and equipment associated with spaceships, starships, big craft, smallcraft, and other vessels.
- They are also known as Starship Components, Ship Fittings, Parts, and by other terms.
- Such equipment is typically fitted into the Engineering Compartment or the Main Compartment of a vessel.
- While their primary use is for void vessels, they can also be used in many vehicles, and fixed facilities among other uses.
- Please also see the AAB Library Data article for Deck Plan.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Vessel equipment has changed greatly over the years and it's a remarkable testament to Charted Space that many different kinds of equipment at many different tech levels is still widely used and serviced throughout inhabited space. [10]
Worlds can have widely varying technology. A high-tech world with contragravity and fusion power may exist just parsecs from one relying upon steam power - or stone axes. There is no "prime directive" to prevent the sale of high technology to the savages - but what would they pay with? So Charted Space is a mix of industrial worlds and hardly-explored backwaters. [11]
In such a tableau, ship equipment can be highly variable. A tramp freighter captain may be forced to repair a TL-15 Ship's Computer with TL-6 vacuum tubes or worse! Finicky jump drives designed at TL-11 might break down and be forced to be repaired with TL-14 components that are both higher tech and designed for an entirely different technological base. In this manner, the ships and technology of Charted Space eventually grow into a melange of cobbled together technologies and scientific approaches to sophontic advancement. A good ship's engineer or engine helmsman is worth their weight in gold... or lanthanum! [12]
Ship's Mascots & Pets[edit]
A number of creatures have become popular with crew as ship's mascots or pets:
- Beaked Monkey
- Focaline Tree Rat
- Lowalaa
- Screech (Chicacenmiztli)
- Seedspitter
- Terran Ship's Cat (specially bred species: vermin control, mascot)
- Zh'a Cha'a
