It was described as a "Combat JumpShip" and may thus have been a [[WarShip]], although the distinction was not meaningful at the time when JumpShip technology was still relatively primitive.
 
 
 
Its [[Jump Sail]] had a diameter of five kilometers. Tiny, remote-controlled robots called Sail Riggers were used to gather and fold the sail before a jump.
 
 
 
In what seems to be an anachronism, the ''SpellSinger'' was described to possess a docking mechanism that would reach out and capture a docking [[DropShip]] thought to be ''[[Union]]'' class. At the time, [[docking hardpoint]]s for handling DropShips were a prototype technology so the ''SpellSinger'' must either have been brand-new or refitted with the new technology; also, the ''Union'' class of DropShip wouldn't be designed for another 240 years.<br />Alternatively, it might be assumed that the terminology used was inaccurate; the ''SpellSinger'' may have had the then-standard [[DropShuttle Bay]] and the docking vessel may have been a [[DropShuttle]] of an earlier class that was also known as ''Union''.<ref name="HS(TLC)p22"/>
