Description:
The Star Princess class was an alternate design competing for the Grand Traveller class starship. Its designers missed
the project close date but managed to get it sold in a wider roll to the Duchy of Corridor.
Her sleek bullet design surrounded by a passenger ring, in jet black, is incredibly beautiful.  The extra supplies
accomodation is per ton of stateroom not person. It is assumed that the SP could be asked to help evacuate an
outpost, stranded ship, or survive in inhospitable areas, but only if absolutely necessary.

The vessel carries 16-400dt subcraft and 2-95dt shuttles (or the equivalent tonnage).  These are not included in the
base price.
  • 5-400dt refueling ships based on the Manta fuel shuttle,
  • 5-400dt Sub merchnat landers based on the subsidized merchant (or SDBs),
    • Can transport passengers to the surface of a world.
  • 2  Shuttles (1 captains shuttle, 1 multipurpose shuttle),
  • 10 covered air/rafts, ATVs, or any variety required by the tour,
  • The remaining subcraft can consist of a survey ship for doing educational trips, and 2 200dt safari vessels,
  • It is also possible for the yachts of the rich and famous to park in the bay of the luxury liner using the remaining spots.
  • Drop Tanks - 4 at 11,250dt each (11.26 MCr each). Not included
  • The original design spec was for no turrets. By using camoflaged, popups we solve the "looks" problem.
    • No turrets free's 550dt for cargo, and reduces costs by 1,638.7MCr.

Star Princess is streamlined but does not have landing capability. It is popular to drop the vessel into the
atmosphere with the spine pointed into the sky using the gravitics to hover.  The Star Princess is completely
stable and will sometimes directly dock with grav cities to transfer guests, or cargo.  It is not intended for high
speed atmospheric travel despite systems ratings.


Accomodation Description:

The captain has a 4dt office and all officers have their own double stateroom. The extra supplies are calculated per
ton of  stateroom not person. This allows long journeys between high tech worlds and/or overcrowding rooms as
necessary.

The Star Princess is designed to maximize entertainment.
  • It can be theme oriented with its 10,000dt entertainment module (100MCr),
    • This module seemlessly fits into one of the rings and can be replaced in 4 hours.
    • Common designs: amusement center, gambling, Multiple
  • The center section has several travel tubes running the length of the ship. 
  • The ring has two central travel tubes on either side of a cavernous hall the full length of the ring.
    • Open sections in the Great Hall allows for entertainment or regional shopping and activities.
    • Access to the central ship is available through pylon travel tubes and halls. All tubes are interlinked.
    • The Ring can be ejected in emergencies.  Power plant and fuel for 2 day is built into the system.
  • Each of the 4 ring sections has an Olympic pool and 100m park on the bottom of the ring, 
    • The transparent windowing can be covered while jumping, it is also filtered to reduce engine light impact.
    • Manuever Drive lighting actually improves the health of the plants. 
    • A small walkway runs the entire ring between the parks.
  • The Emperor Suites (4) are 50dt and have a built-in lifeboat (4dt).
    • No expense has been spared in making these the most beautiful facilities on a starship anywhere,
    • Total value 600+ million credits.
    • Private spa/pool, sauna, and exercise area
    • Private staff
    • A set of 12 local staterooms can be closed off for support personnel for each suite,
  • Two dozen suites can be converted to aquadic as required
  • 100 Suites are on an alternate environment deck consisting of subblocks of 10 staterooms each.
    • A single room can use alternative environments. There is a non-armoured double door hatch system.
  • 50 Additional suites are available and usually not booked.
  • A 13dt safe available to the purser and captain in the pursers office. There is a permanent guard at that
    location with a 3 hour shift.
Production

The Intersun LL was one of the last Grand Liners produced and the only variety produced at Kaasu
with 4 TL16 power plants before the Rebellion. Most were turned into troop carriers and destroyed
before the release of Virus. Two of the Liners were setup for large multi-year excursions throughout the
Imperium they are amongst 3 presumed lost.  The only know surviving Grand Luxury Liner is the Star
Traveller which had been at Corridor Depot for military refit when the Vilani and Domain of  Deneb
came to blows above Depot.

Ship Security
A heavy prize like this does not go unsecured about the galaxy. Not only does the ship have the ability to carry craft
under 400dt without issues, or a wing of fighters if necessary. The Ship regularly travels with 1 jet black
Midu Agashaam destoryer, a scout, and offers convoy escort capabilities. Its not uncommon for ships to sign up
(specifically liners) just for the business opportunties of being in the convoy.  Nobles will even make their trips on these
vessel and have their personal yachts follow. Most systems will scramble a patrol cruiser(s) or SDB escort to show
good form rather than taking the risk of having an attack in their territory by pirates. When necessary it is not unusual
for Grand Traveller class vessel to hire extra muscle.   The purser also has a significant 5dt safe always under guard.

Adventure Seeds:
1.    Die Highest - The Star Princess is boarded by pirates (or terrorists) who take control of ship systems and are
attempting to extort the wealthy passengers. The Security team does not seem to be in control and the captain hires
the PCs to save the day. The villians indend on eventually destroying the ship. Or they decide to save the day and are
appropriately awarded.
2.   Fun and Frolic - The PC are enjoying the entertainment center when a person is accused of cheating. They ask the
PCs for help as they're being dragged out.
3.   Last Days of the Titan -  A Star Princess class ship is refueling in the asteroid belt when gravitic power is cut. The
ship slams into an Ice Asteroid that punctures the hull.   Section by section the ship is becoming unliveable.  The
wounded ship is now caught in the gravity of a gas giant. The crew must escape with the passengers to a breatheable
planet in the system. They must survive and send for help.
4.   Working Stiff - The PC work for or run a business (hunting or extra security  for example) from the ship.  Many
variations;
