Sengdao 3
Small Ships
This issue of the Codex presents a trio of small ships that vary greatly in both style and intended use. All are perfect for a small group of starfarers just starting out or looking for a new ride.
Sengdao is a high-end transport¸ considered a yacht by some¸ originally created by the TerraNovan Theocracy to spread the Lux Aeternum throughout¸ and beyond¸ civilized space. Sleek and stylish¸ with five cabins and enough room to carry up to seven crew and passenger in comfort; she's well armed for a ship of her size and has space for some cargo as well.
The SNV Prospector is a working ship made to mine and transport metal ore. Industrial and rugged¸ this vessel epitomizes the "form follows function" design mentality. There's room for four crew but not a lot in the way of amenities. The SVN carries a pair of customized HMT-337 containers that can be swapped out for standard cargo boxes¸ passenger containers¸ or any of the other 337's from previous products.
Lastly¸ the Akela is a scaled-up Lokai-class shuttle with bunks for four or six. It's the smallest design of the three and doesn't have much more inside than the cockpit¸ main cabin¸ and bunk area. A passenger shuttle version is also included which has seating for 36 passengers plus their luggage.
