Leave it to a jaded spacer to remark that the economic hardship hitting the Surronians has resulted in some of the most prized technologies finally hitting the open market. The vessels of the respected insectoid Surronians are viewed as expensive collectables for exclusive and wealthy clients. Now that the Surronians have fallen upon difficult times, they have developed standard lines of their ships for open sale. Most of the vessels were beyond the price range of the average spacer, save for a much overlooked craft of the "L" (limited edition) series, the L19 Heavy Freighter.
Fifty meters long, the L19 rests on a large end of the light transport spectrum. Its spacious holds can accommodate 150 metric tons in a total of five chambers. A single pilot can run the L19, but a crew of four is standard - a pilot, co-pilot, the communications and sensors operator, and the shield operator and astrogator. The communcal Surronian hive mind crafted a roomy cockpit, with six additional seats for passengers. Just aft of the cockpit are living accomodations. The captain and first mate are usually awarded the larger suites, though the Surronian's overestimation of non-hive privacy has resulted in rather large single rooms for every passenger. Most spacers consider this space an unwarrented luxury, and have refitted half the rooms with double-bunks, converting the other rooms for medical facilities, a larger lounge, or cargo space (hidden or otherwise). |
