Description (Specifications)

General Overview: Each ship has a detailed description. The ship's tonnage is noted in "dTons", a contraction of Displacement Tons.

• Starships within the Distant Fringe utilise DeVoss-type jump drives, limited to a performance of jump-2 (the so-called Jump-2 Barrier).
• Some designs are noted as having a Secure Locker. This space can be secured with lockable bulkhead doors and has a controlled internal environment. It is, in all respects, usable as cargo storage.
