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.
Description (Specifications)
A ship containing a full complement of personnel intended to make a sub-light journey across space.

- 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.
