The Lady of Shallott class Yacht is a TL–9 luxury Yacht.

Description (Specifications)

The basic Type Y Yacht is a noble's plaything; not a particularly efficient vessel, but plush and comfortable. The Lady of Shallott-class shown in these plans is but one of several versions of the Type Y Yacht.

The upper deck is taken up by the bridge and by accommodations for the owner (who has a suite topped by a magnificent transparent bubble) and guests. The guest rooms are not overly large, but they are quite luxurious.

The lower deck holds crew quarters, the galley and crew lounge, a dumb waiter-life arrangement that leads up to the passenger lounge above, engineering, and storage for cargo and the ship's vehicles.

An orbit-to-orbit ship, the yacht carries a 30ton ship's boat with passenger accommodations and space for cargo or the ATV. This is the link between the yacht and the planets visited. Weapons are rarely mounted on the yacht, though space is reserved for one hardpoint, usually mounted above the amidships portion of the upper deck.

Yachts are often excellent sources of employment for adventurers with star-faring experience. Paid professional crews are sometimes hard to come by; many nobles hardly ever use their vessels, but need a full-time crew to care for the ship, and to transfer it from one world to another (particularly when the noble has several far-flung estates).
