A Sleeper Ship is a Starship using sublight NAFAL propulsion that uses one crew put into a state of suspended animation, while automation of some sort steers the ship.
- Since civilizations that use such ships generally have limited means and technology for producing NAFAL starships, most are used for colonization purposes.
Description (Specifications)
A ship containing a full complement of personnel intended to make a sub-light journey across space.
- Since such journeys take years, or even decades, the passengers, and sometimes the crew are put into lo-berths/hibernation for the duration of the journey.
- Such ships are smaller than Generation Ships, where the passengers and crew live full lives during the journey.
- The two terms Sleeper Ship and Generation Ship are often, incorrectly, interchanged and used to refer to either type of ship.
