Description

The LC-100 "Astrolux" StarYacht was introduced in 2953 as a long-range space craft for private citizens. Unarmed but adequately armored, this 200-ton small craft is relatively fast, capable of up to 4g of acceleration. The design is noted for being one of Lockheed-CBM Corporation's most popular civilian products and has promoted several knock-offs.[1]

Cargo

The vessel features luxury quarters for seven passengers and a generous five-ton cargo bay (7.5 tons with one bay door according to its stats listing), food storage for a month of sustained space travel and 20 tons of fuel for 10.87 burn days.[1]

Variants

None known.

Design Quirks

None known.

Notes

  • The class is spelled with a capital "L" (AstroLux) in at least one canonical source.[2]
