It was designed to be like the average family's airspeeder, but for use between systems. The craft is basically just a people transport, and as such is not extremely roomy, nor does it have a great storage capacity. Luxury was minimised to keep the price tag within the upper-middle class of most space tech planets. It is equipped with some items to make hyperspace jumps less tedious including a music player and a small holochess set. The ship is appointed much the same as a upper end airspeeder, with plush comfortable seats and a cloth interior with trim. With the intention that passengers remain seated throughout the journey, the seats are able to rotate so they can face forward, or turn to face each other with the chess table in the centre. Five people can be transported this way. The ship was probably more successful than it should have been, but this is mostly because nobody else thought of it and it has cornered the market. Most civilians choose to travel by charter or on inter-system liners rather than in their own personal craft, as a result, no competitor models have ever been released onto the market. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ orion@yoyo.cc.monash.edu.au | Neil Creek Monash University, Arts II ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
