Description[edit]
While a great number of civilian passenger liners existed during the Star League era, the Monarch-class DropShip is the most common example still in use during the maelstrom of the Succession Wars. 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[5]
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.[5]
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.[5]
Armament[edit]
Like many civilian ships, the Monarch relies on its "soft" image to escape harm, being only lightly armored and completely unarmed.[5]
Cargo[edit]
The Monarchs' 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-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.
