Revision as of 17:03, 25 October 2019
Y-class Private Vessels accommodate a wider variety of privately owned spacecraft, NAFAL and FTL, smallcraft and bigcraft, Consumer Craft and luxury Yachts.
- Yachts are the best known and most visible of these vessels.
- The Supraclass designation is also known as Ship Mission, Ship Mission Code, Mission, or Ship Hull Designation.
- It is a starship supraclass.
Library Data Referral Tree
Please refer to the following AAB Library Data for more information:
Starship:
- Advanced Ship Classifications
- Ship Mission Code / Supraclass
- Ship Type Code / Superclass
- Ship Class Code / Class
- Model (TL)
- Bloc (Lot)
- Astronomical Unit (AU)
- FTL
- Light Speed (c)
- Light-week (lw)
- Light-year (ly)
- NAFAL (STL)
- Parsec (pc)
Description (Specifications)
NAFAL system spaceships are horrendously expensive, many times the annual wages of the typical worker, even on a rich world. Starcraft with jump drives are even more expensive than that. Thus, citizens who can afford to buy a personal starship, even a small one are tremendously wealthy and why would the wealthy build anything less than a Y-class Yacht or Private Vessel? As such, Y-class ships tend to be luxurious, high performance, and extensively stocked with servants, bodyguards, cooks, and other service staff.
Image Repository
- A prototypical Type Y class Yacht.
- An exclusive and desirable Starblade class Executive Yacht.
- A side view of a Wanderer class Luxury Yacht.
Strategy & Tactics (Doctrine)
Most Private Vessels are minimally armed and/or armored, but there are plenty of exceptions. After all, they can afford it. Heck, they can afford to specialize a ship in any fashion they like... Most often, yachts and private vessels employ escorts for defense, and if alone, they simply run when facing a hostile threat. On other hand, Q-Ships that look like yachts are not an uncommon sight.
Supraclass Roles
Private Vessels typically serve the following roles:
Civilian Ship - Yachts:
Largecraft & Bigcraft:
- Admiral's Yacht (YL)
- Charter Yacht (YK)
- Expeditionary Yacht (YK)
- Executive Yacht (YL)
- Luxury Yacht (YL)
- Private Starship (Y)
- Private Vessel (Y) (Namesake)
- Racing Yacht (YR)
- Regatta Yacht (YR)
- Yacht Courier (YR)
Civilian Craft - Private Smallcraft (Non-luxury):
- Luxury Shuttle (UYL)
- Luxury Smallcraft (UYL)
- Playboy's Launch (UYL)
- Private Smallcraft (UY)
- Star Limousine (UYL)
Size-Class Roles for Private Vessels
- Private Smallcraft (UY) (1 to 99 tons)
- Very Light Private Ship (YVL) (100 to 2,499 tons)
- Light Private Ship (YI) (2,500 to 99,999 tons)
- Medium Private Ship (YM) (100,000 to 249,999 tons)
- Heavy Private Ship (YH) (250,000 to 499,999 tons)
- Superheavy Private Ship (YS) (500,000 to 999,999 tons)
- Ultraheavy Private Ship (YU) (1,000,000 or more tons)
Civilian Subcraft
Civilian subcraft (...both smallcraft and bigcraft) are carried by some of these vessels:
- Barge (WB)
- Utility Craft (U)
Supraclass Archetypal Roles
These vessels typically serve the following archetypal roles:
Y-class Private Vessel Supraclass Archetypes | |||
---|---|---|---|
Archetype | Type Code | Exemplar | Remarks |
Private Vessel | Y | Lady of Shalott class Yacht | The Y superclass covers aw hoel range of privately owned vessels from yachts to high end extraplanetary commuters and more. [1]
|
Expeditionary Yacht | YK | Prancing Poni class Charter Yacht | Expeditionary Yachts are used by well-heeled interests for exploration and similar endeavors. [2]
|
Luxury Yacht | YL | Starblade class Executive Yacht | Luxury yachts allow the rich and privileged, typically nobles, to travel in style. [3]
|
Racing Yacht | YR | Condor class Racing Yacht | Racing yachts are used in regatta competitions by the rich and famous, or their jockeys. [4]
|
Private Vessel | YY | Lady of Shalott class Yacht | Private vessels is a group of bigcraft and largecraft used for a variety of unspecified endeavors other than the other yacht superclass codes. [5]
|
Private Smallcraft | UY | Type UY class Private Smallcraft | Any smallcraft for private or personal use that does not fit one of the other categories (in particular, not Industrial Smallcraft), and typically operates independently rather than supplementing operations of a larger ship. In other words, anything that would fit in Y-class except for being a smallcraft of less than 100-tons. Being smallcraft, these are more often the property of the working class and/or small business owners, and thus less luxurious. [6] |
NOTES: There is semantic overlap between many of the classes and codes. Some codes organize by mission or capability, others by size and tonnage, and yet others by other characteristics. |
