Starship

Starship (Vehicle) Synopsis

A starship is a spacecraft equipped with a jump drive. q.v. spaceship.

Starship (Vehicle) Description

Typically, such a ship includes large percentages 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 external tanks to the ship known as droptanks.

Please see Civilian Starship Types or Military Starship Types for more information.
