Some vessels lack in a Drift drive, but can still make use of Jump Gates.
UGF power cores are known colloquially as "Pinch Cores", using pinched magnetic fields to compress and heat fusion-borne plasma, ultimately outputting a great deal of power. Some say that this replicates the conditions of the core of a star. This power isn't without cost, though, as a breached UGF Pinch Core is potentially disastrous; if all safeties fail to engage, the fusion spirals out of control, and produces a small supernova.
Ranedian power cores act similar to UGF's Pinch Cores, save for the fact that theirs are fueled generally by Aetherite, a material that the Ranedian people are somewhat reluctant to share with the wider galaxy. This exotic material seems to be quite efficient, in terms of energy exchange.
The baseline hull is important, but protecting the hull from ruptures is the job of armored plating. Usually built of some titanium substrate, laminated and woven in with strong but flexible alloys, the plating comes in a range of thicknesses, though the thicker will have impacts on the maneuverability of the vessel.
The brain of the starship, the computer core contains a rudimentary artificial personality. These personalities can't perform duties as a crew member, but they can assist crew members in various tasks. However, many spacefarers claim that over time, a starship’s computers can develop temperaments and personality quirks that set them apart from identical computers in other ships.
Only appearing in ships larger than fighters and interceptors, the crew quarters are pretty much what one might expect; places where the crew can eat, sleep, and bathe in-flight.
Lock-on jammers, anti-hacking systems, pretty much the suite of defense and security tech on-board a starship.
Simple bays for expanding a ship's functionality.
The eyes and ears of the ship, sensors allow a crew to see what's in the space around the ship, whether planetary bodies, other ships, a dangerous asteroid field, or some monstrosity from the depths of space. Sensors are a combination of video cameras, multispectrum scanners, radar arrays, signal interceptors, and optical telescopes.
There are many things that fall under the umbrella of "Shield"; from the low power nav-shield that protects from spaceborne debris, up to active shielding system. Conventional shields consists of a thin, electrostatic membrane that envelopes a ship, absorbing impacts until the emitters are depleted. Deflector shields, meanwhile, are likewise an energy membrane, but acts more to bounce impacts away than absorb them.
Pretty self-explanatory, these are scaled-up weapons systems for surviving in the nearly lawless space between systems.
Established in an era before the Blackout, the UGF starwrights have a pockmarked reputation for sturdy, reliable, but also cheap starfaring vessels. Their craft line is notable for having solid shapes, generally coming in a generous array of colors, with room for customization.
Manufacturer Perk: Starships manufactured by the UGF are so common that parts and trained mechanics abound in the core regions of Palaxian space. Reduce the credit and UPB cost for repairs by 10% (to a minimum of 1 credit or UPB per point of damage) ; reduce the time required for repairs by 1 hour (to a minimum of 1 hour) ; and reduce the time required to refit the starship by 1 day (to a minimum of 1 day).
Featuring sleeker aesthetics than UGF, the Dakiupran Starwrights are well known for their advanced computer systems, likely as a result of the larger population of Informorphs on the planet Dakiupra.
Manufacturer Perk: The computer systems of Dakiupran vessels, are capable of supporting at least one Infomorph of Large size or smaller, per node.
Established and run by a species known more for their agriculture than their war machines, it's perhaps no surprise that Shudrae-designed vessels eschew the trappings of warships and go instead for something more comfortable, and even luxurious. It's rumored that VLS has fielded a number of agri-flotillas, though, no evidence has yet cropped up for this.
Manufacturer Perk: Most VLS vessels have customizable decor and exterior aesthetics. Luxurious crew quarters are considered standard on VLS ships and cost only 3 BP.
Raneda's own starwright organization, constructed with loaned resources from Ranedus' allies. These starships, though few in number, stand as some of the most technologically advanced vessels in the known galaxy, truly demonstrating the sheer capability of a collective of computer-enhanced(and in some cases, fully digital) brains.
Manufacturer Perk: A Ranedian starship can use standard navigation to go into orbit or land in 1 hour, travel point-to-point on a planet in 1d3 hours, reach a satellite in 1d6 hours, and travel in-system in 1d4+2 days.
Once a proud starwright of the royal drekiri houses, all that remains are scattered personnel, and a few derelicts in Drakonis space.
Situated around the homeworld of the Naulixi Avali in the Naulixi Claw, the AIF runs a number of shipyard foundries that churn out nanofabricated starships.
Components
Built upon a vast array of interlinked and networked systems, starships are often hailed as one of the most important innovations in UGF history, even if a lot of it had to be re-innovated, after the Blackout.Base Frame
Most of the systems array is baked into what's known, colloquially, as "Frames", coming in a variety of shapes for a variety of mission profiles.Courier frame

Drift Engine
At the heart of many mid-sized and larger vessels is a device known as the Drift engine. No one knows the origin of the signal, but many of the cultures across Palaxian space received a spaceborne wave, containing 3-dimensional blueprints and a number of esoteric equations that would one day lead to the convergent development of this engine. While its exact mechanisms elude many, it is widely believed accepted that the Drift engine pulls together an extradimensional aperture that the ship then propels through.Some vessels lack in a Drift drive, but can still make use of Jump Gates.
Power Core
The most important system on a ship, as it provides power to every other system, they come in a fair variety of styles, with differing mechanisms.UGF power cores are known colloquially as "Pinch Cores", using pinched magnetic fields to compress and heat fusion-borne plasma, ultimately outputting a great deal of power. Some say that this replicates the conditions of the core of a star. This power isn't without cost, though, as a breached UGF Pinch Core is potentially disastrous; if all safeties fail to engage, the fusion spirals out of control, and produces a small supernova.
Ranedian power cores act similar to UGF's Pinch Cores, save for the fact that theirs are fueled generally by Aetherite, a material that the Ranedian people are somewhat reluctant to share with the wider galaxy. This exotic material seems to be quite efficient, in terms of energy exchange.
Every 10 points of a ship's Power Core (PCU) equates to 6 days of operation before refueling is necessary.
50 PCU equates roughly to 1GWth, which means every singular unit of PCU equates to 20MWth.
Thrusters
Funneling exhaust mass from the power core's processes, vectored with mechanisms and short-range magnetic fields, the inertial electrostatic thrusters offer respectable sublight propulsion to starships. Because thrusters feed off of power core exhaust, they cannot operate if the core is disabled or turned off.Other Systems
Armor
The baseline hull is important, but protecting the hull from ruptures is the job of armored plating. Usually built of some titanium substrate, laminated and woven in with strong but flexible alloys, the plating comes in a range of thicknesses, though the thicker will have impacts on the maneuverability of the vessel.
