Description (Specifications

Some folks travel the stars in a rust-bucket Free Trader scraping together cash and equipment from just about any source they can. Others do it with a bit more style and flair. This ship is for the latter.

Presenting a starship for the true merchant prince, diplomat, megacorporate executive and of course nobles of all stripes. Also suitable for large Traveller crews and those who wish to be surrounded by the finer things in life.

Jump-3, Maneuver-3, Power Plant-4, this 800-ton Type-Y2 Expeditionary Yacht has long legs and lots of room.
