{{:Starship-Nav-Bar-Two-2019CE}}
A [[spaceship]] is a spacecraft ''NOT'' equipped with a [[jump drive]]. q.v. [[starship]].
* They are also called [[boat]]s.
* It is a type of [[ship]] and/or vacuum-travelling [[vehicle]].

== Description ([[Specifications]]) ==
A ''spaceship'' is a spacecraft without a [[jump drive]]. Spaceships are often carried on Starships for star system usage (e.g. [[Shuttle]]s, [[Fighter]]s), and are sometimes transported interstellar distances by a special starship constructed specifically for that purpose (e.g. [[Battle Rider]], [[Battle Tender]]).
* Please see [[Civilian Starship Types]] or [[Military Starship Types]] for more information.

=== Strategy & Tactics (Doctrine) ===
The volume requirement of [[jump drive]] fuel has not escaped military theorists, who have employed strategies not employing [[jump drive]]s: 
* [[Picket Boat]] Theory (Defense, Intel)
* [[Monitor]] Theory (Defense)
* [[System Defense Boat]] Theory (Defense)
* [[Battle Rider]] Theory (Offense)

=== Travel Formulae ===
'''Travelling in Charted Space:''' The travel formulae and diagram used by the [[Imperial Navy]] and [[Scout Service]] show a typical interplanetary journey, and equations which can determine time required (if distance and acceleration are known), acceleration required (if distance and time are known), and distance travelled (if time and acceleration are known]. All of the formulae use the MKS (meters, kilograms, seconds) unit system, and assume that the [[ship]] is undertaking a journey from rest, that it accelerates continuously to midpoint of the trip, and then decelerates to rest again. {{Page cite|name= Starships|page=4}}

== History & Background ([[Dossier]]) ==
There is no question that a starship equipped with an [[FTL]] [[jump drive]] is vastly more capable than a spaceship limited to intrasystemic travel so why use them? The simple, direct answer is cost. [[Jump drive]]s are prohibitively expensive and require advanced [[technology]] to maintain and operate. An interstellar [[polity]] can typically afford to operate several spaceships for every [[starship]] it employs.
