A K-class Colony Ship is a Vessel used for colonization, usually either a Generation Ship or a Sleeper Ship.

  • More conventional vessels are sometimes used, essentially large liners. These are markedly different from both Generation Ships and Sleeper Ships.
  • Regardless of the above, they are all considered to be K-class Expedition Vessels.

The primary types of colony ships include:

  1. Generation Ship
  2. Sleeper Ship
  3. Other Conventional FTL Vessel
