A starship is a spacecraft equipped with a jump drive. q.v. spaceship
Typically, such a ship includes large percentages of it dedicated to fuel, for jump drive requires a huge investment in energy to accomplish the transition to jumpspace. This limits the available space for other uses, severely in the case of ships able to jump long distances, or rejump repeatedly (which is a lifesaver if you can afford the space). Some ships greatly enhance capacity without sacrificing safety by mounting the tanks EXTERNAL to the ship (droptanks).
