Freelancer Starship

As the Hyperion Federation has machines known as Replicators, those nanobots used in replicators can be used to modify a starship. If a Sentient Robot assumes control of the starship, it can fly through space and modify its own body. This requires Matter Plasma and energy, so it is fitted with mining beams and Zero-Point Energy. Hence their namestake, Freelancers like to roam around space and do their own thing. But as they can modify their own body to such a large extent, all other crew members must leave the ship before leaving port. All life support systems and corridors are likely to be melted down. Due to the existance of the Phelke species, organics can also experience becomming a Freelancer.
