History & Background (Dossier)
Rule of Man class Schooners were common Terran vessels that saw service towards the end of the Second Imperium. It was a typical starship of its period, with a heavily armored hull, over-engineered Jump-2 drives and powerful 6-G maneuver drives. They were rugged and durable and were among the first Terran-built vessels to venture into the vast unexplored territories "Behind the Claw". Few examples survived the Long Night.
