Genesis Starliner

The LH307 Genesis Starliner is a mid-range passenger spacecraft manufactured by Crusader Industries. The spacecraft's interior can be adopted for a number of roles. Passenger and freight transport are the most common configurations of the Genesis, followed by military adaptations such as troop transports and Space Warning and Control System (SWACS) setups. Major space transport services such as Meridian Transit utilize the Genesis in their fleets as a way to standardize repair processes and lower maintenance costs.^[1] The ship's success is attributed to Kelly Caplan's impressive design.^[2]

Brochure description

...the Genesis-class includes support for forty passengers and eight crew. A fully modular interior allows individual concerns to adapt their ships to the task at hand, with aftermarket options for everything from complete luxury-oriented state rooms to passenger-free configurations!

Features

NeoG Engines

Crusader Industries proprietary engine technology offers some of the most fuel-efficient flight for a ship of its size.^[3]

Configurations

The Genesis has found success in a variety of different configurations around the galaxy.

Transit

Crusader produces a number of luxury, mid-range and essential (bare bones) versions for transit companies who like to take advantage of the significantly modular capability of the Genesis. More complex models typically carry fewer passengers but with additional amenities (lounges, food options, personal quarters) while the essential model focuses more on passenger numbers rather than luxury, suitable for in-system commuting. They even offer high-capacity super-liners.

Private

Wealthy private individuals have also been known to purchase Starliners for their own use, most frequently outfitted yacht-style with individual cabins.

Racing

The frame is frequently used by professional racing teams, who modify the interior to store and repair small racing ships like the M50 and their support equipment.

Military

Different branches of the UEE High Command have used various different modifications of the standard Genesis spaceframe for a number of different roles. These include patrol hunter-killers and Space Warning & Control System / Command & Control platforms (referred to informally as the Starhunter and Starseeker).^[4]
