Biotech Spaceships
These are living constructs, similar to Tinman, Mimbari, Vorlon ships, or those from Spelljammer. Scientists who have skills in biology, genetics, microbiology, and similar skills have learned to merge these skills to create this new technology.
The first useable prototype was named "The Rising Star," her designation was XS-2, was the first of the military Freedom-class Littoral Combat Ship (LCS). This class is a multi-mission stealth ship, it usually works in-system, not interstellar, but can be adapted. The XS-2 was the prototype for the recovery ships. The XS-1 is often used as scouts, transporting important people, a captain's stuttle, etc.
It all depends on the time period, money, and connections if you can get one of these ships. It is mostly still service, the purpose it was built for, for small cargo, pirates, or yachts for the rich. Depending on its power core or engines, it can be used for deep space travel, expeditions, research, leisure, etc. The owner can modify the ship however they want for its chosen use.
The main entry is usually 1/2 way down on the right side, engineering has their own entry 3/4 of the way to the thrusters on the left side. There are emergency bulkheads and escape pods that will blow out in an emergency. With modifications, it can be used as a submarine, or in the atmosphere of a planet.
Command bridge is at the center of the ship, Deck 3, it has no windows, and it is heavily shielded, and has no windows, but viewscreens, for the protection of the crew. Crew quarters surround the bridge. It has a small messhall, there is a Rec center, everyone also has access in their quarters, a small brig, which is rarely used; 2 med bays, one has a surgical suit, one of the cargo bays can be converted into a cryosleep chamber, each of the crew quarters has a small med unit and their beds can double as a cryo-chamber (bed), sonic shower, head, inset furniture. The quartermaster area is linked to the messhall which has a few basic replicators, each room has one as well for food and small items like clothes, and toiletries.
The ship can carry 500 tons in the cargo bay. It is a modern ship. Has artificial gravity, run by an electromagnetic current through the frame. The crew is 160 strong, only 1/2 on at one time, a skeleton crew is 80, and it can fit 260 if they are hot bunking.
There are enough escape pods to fit all the crew, and some of the quarters on the outer wall of the ship eject too. the captains launch, 2 shuttles can dock inside as well as many drones on the outside. The ships are manufactured by Kydania Shipbuilders, Starfarers run the company. It was built on the Jaemus Shipyard, in the N'zoth System, in orbit around Selonia. Built for the Starfarers near one of their colony worlds.
They feel loyal to this ship because it is also their home. It has average weapons for its size but has better sensors, stealth armor, shields, and speed. It can fire in all directions, powerful energy shields, and reactive armor, the gunner or pilot can activate the shields with a thought, and the shield emitters cover different sections, unless they all fail at once only one section or emitter will collapse at a time, 10 emmiters per sector. Power can be rerouted, but if an emitter fails, it usually needs to be replaced. There are different levels of shields, the same as for weapons. Heavy shields use the most power.
