Example Starships
Source GM Core pg. 231
You can create a variety of different starships for the PCs to pilot during their encounter. The following are examples of common starship hull types you can base a scene around. You can also use these general starship types as inspiration for threats.
Fighter: Typically, this example is the smallest starship available and can seat one or two creatures of up to Large size.
Shuttle: A smaller starship that can contain up to six or eight creatures. Shuttles travel between different locations and rarely have amenities to be comfortable for extended missions.
Explorer: A vessel used by adventurers and mercenaries across the galaxy to explore. It can operate with up to 12 crew for prolonged periods of time.
Transport: A larger vessel used primarily to move crew and cargo from one area to another. It has some amenities but isn't intended for long-term missions.
Cruiser: A starship intended for war. Cruisers act as the faster vanguards of most fleets, alongside slightly smaller destroyers. A handful of corporations and mercenary companies have vessels of this size, while many militaries operate these vessels.
Battleship: Enormous vessels that act as the mainstay of most militaries. Some factions might possess only one of these behemoths. They primarily fill the role of projecting power in a region of space, and many act as carriers that can unload swarms of smaller vessels.
