The Desiree Keah class Yacht is a luxury starship.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
It is a vessel with 1-G and J-4 performance with a streamlined hull. It normally carries no armament or defensives, but does have two hardpoints should the owner desire to arm the vessel. It ordinarily carries a custom Ship's Boat and two air-rafts. It has a crew of 8 and 14 passengers.
Desiree Keah yachts are in a class by themselves. Elegant luxury is the rule aboard this ship, heightened by the magnificent, two-deck tall open space forward, 21 exquisitely appointed staterooms (even the crew quarters are unusually comfortable), and the presence of a ship's boat and two pressurized air/rafts for excursions at any interesting planet where the ship might stop.
The forward third of the ship is taken up by the recreation area. Two decks high, with transparent bulkheads, the area is spectacular. It can be used for everything from formal dinners to impromptu sporting events, and is often the scene for parties, grand balls, and other entertainment. The galley is located to starboard (and includes a small lift that leads directly to the owner's suite above); to port are store rooms where furnishings, equipment, and decorations are kept when not in use in the recreation room. The bridge, with pilot and navigator positions,is located just aft, along with the computer. The rest of the deck is taken up by staterooms, the cargo bay, the ship's boat bay, engineering spaces, lockers, and the main airlock. Most of the staterooms on this level are reserved for crew.
The upper level contains the bulk of the staterooms, including the owner's suite, plus sick bay, engineering, and access to the ship's boat and the two air/rafts. The forward staterooms open onto a balcony which overlooks the recreation area, with stairways leading down to the lower deck on either side. The owner's stateroom is extremely large, containing a double bed, a gaming table, a bar, and a desk. A kickout panel behind the bed gives private access to the ship's boat in emergencies. All staterooms aboard use combination wardrobe/sanitary closets to save space.
The yacht's main drawback is its lack of installed weaponry, though turrets can be fitted to the ship's two hardpoints. When installed, these turrets are on top and bottom; they are reached through the ladders in the engineering spaces.
