Its weak superstructure does not lend itself to being armored or armed, and the class has survived largely due to its inoffensive nature and rarely travels outside of heavily populated regions. The vessel has been known to be used as a troop transport by (presumably very needful) mercenary units<ref name=DS&JSp60-1>''DropShips and JumpShips: ComStar Intelligence Summary'', p. 60-61 </ref> The fuselage itself is the vessel's lifting body. The ship's underside transit drive maintains 1G of thrust at most times, giving passengers the equivalent of standard gravity, while the vessel's rear maneuvering drive is only used during evasive or planetary atmospheric travel. Double-occupancy rooms for the enlisted crew and single rooms for the senior staff are the only accommodations given to them, who must otherwise mingle with the passengers for mess usage, or be confined to the barely adequate crew lounge and small mess facility found there.<ref name=DS&JSp60-1/> A bridge-adjacent panel allows security monitoring of almost every location of the ship, and from there, the crew can adjust life support systems or circulate a tranquilizing gas if needed to subdue the passenger or cargo areas.<ref name=DS&JSp60-1/> ==Armament== Like many civilian ships, the ''Monarch'' relies on its "soft" image to escape harm, being only lightly armored and completely unarmed.<ref name=DS&JSp60-1/> ==Cargo== The ''Monarchs''<nowiki>'</nowiki> passenger quarters are split across two decks between the command and cargo sections. Each deck features 133 staterooms, with the lower deck featuring shops, a sauna, and a 150-seat dining area, while the upper deck features two 100-seat dining areas, two large lounges, a casino, and a vidtape theater. The passenger staterooms are split between 200 standard-class and 66 first-class cabins. While not geared towards absolute luxury like the ''[[Princess (DropShip Class)|Princess]]''-class, the ''Monarch'' offers a much more comfortable trip than a merchant or military craft. The remaining space is devoted to 900 tons of cargo, split between supplies and passenger luggage. ==Named ships== * [[:Category:Individual Monarch-class DropShips|List of named ''Monarch''-class DropShips]] ==Gallery== <gallery> Monarch.png|Original ''Monarch'' from ''[[DropShips and JumpShips|DropShips and JumpShips: ComStar Intelligence Summary]]'' Monarch TRO3057r.png|''Monarch'' from ''[[Technical Readout: 3057|TRO:3057]]'' </gallery> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[AeroTech 2 Record Sheets]]'' * ''[[DropShips and JumpShips|DropShips and JumpShips: ComStar Intelligence Summary]]'' * ''[[Jihad Hot Spots: Terra]]'' * ''[[Technical Readout: 3057]]'' * ''[[Technical Readout: 3057 Revised]]'' [[Category:DropShip classes]] [[Category:Aerodyne DropShip classes]] [[Category:Civilian DropShip classes]] [[Category:Transport DropShip classes]] [[Category:Passenger DropShip classes]] [[Category:Inner Sphere DropShip classes]]
