The Starjammer (TAS Form 3B)

The Starjammer, Klinean registration #338-C-2725

The Starjammer is a modified Pemami-class armed packet (U-CA33), a TL12 Allied Prefabricated Ships and Vessels product derived from the standard Type UF design used throughout the Imperium. The Pemami has proven a popular class in Magyar sector. Using a streamlined 300 ton hull sheathed with crystaliron armor, the packet is a secure transport ship offering unscheduled passenger service for those in a hurry. Its drives and fuel tankage support one jump-3 and up to 3g acceleration for a month. It has scoops and processors allowing it to gather and purify fuel from gas giants and oceans.

A Pemami requires a crew of four: Pilot, Astrogator, and two Engineers. There are 5 crew staterooms and a barracks for the gunners, 12 passenger staterooms, and 5 low berths. For armament, the ship sports two triple missile launcher turrets and one triple beam laser turret. It has an air/raft, a medical bay, carries 15 tons cargo, and has a 1-ton mail vault for express boat contracts.

The Starjammer had its keel laid down at the Allied Prefabricated Ships & Vessels yard at Kugle (Magyar 2423 A522656-E) on 011-1082 and first flew on 295-1083. It is an Imperial flagged ship registered on Kline (Magyar 3012 A642987-E). The previous owner is a company listed as Three Sectors Exports, though no further information about this entity is readily available. Surprisingly, the ship’s official log generally records only regular travel between Kline and Shululsish (Solomani Rim 0214 A584A52-F), with occasional jaunts to Dingir (Solomani Rim 1222 AA89A98-F) and Hsuishlesh (Solomani Rim 1120 A644986-E) in the Vegan Autonomous District. The Starjammer has been exceptionally well-maintained, reducing all maintenance costs by 50%.

Unusually, the Starjammer appears to have been refitted with a series of TL14 Vegan-manufactured upgrades, including a Computer/30 and improved sensors with densitometer, jammers, lidar, and radar, as well as a very advanced power plant that produces 198 power points with 10.8 tons. Finally, the Starjammer carries five TL14 emergency skill wafers: Astrogation, Engineer (M-drive), Engineer (J-Drive), Medic, Pilot.
