Pylon Equipment (960,000D)
* Centreline Pylon (430,000D):
* 4 Long-Duration Liquid Rocket Engines: Body Strength: 1D; Effect: +1 to Space rating per engine fired for 100,000 rounds; Ship takes 1D damage per round for each engine fired.
* 1 High-Thrust Liquid Rocket Engine: Body Strength: 1D; Effect: +3 to Space rating for 10,000 rounds; Ship takes 1D damage per round for each engine fired.

Special Equipment:
Space Maneuvering System: Provides a Space rating of 1, and a Maneuverability of 1D. This system contains enough fuel for 8,830 hours of typical use, or 1,472 hours of constant thrust.
91 Solid Rocket Booster Clusters: Each SRBC fired burns for 8,830 rounds. While firing, the ship’s Space rating increases by +12, and the ship’s Maneuverability decreases by -7D.
Game Notes: Much of the ship’s internal habitable volume is divided into 53 independent biospheres, each carrying its own distinct culture and a population of 94,340. Each biosphere is unarmored, and has a Hull strength of 2D.
Capsule:
The Earthship Ark is largely rectangular in body, with two levels of hemispherical domed environmental areas covering 80.4672 square kilometres jutting out from the sides on thin stalks. It was built as a last effort by the inhabitants of a primitive planet to survive a great cataclysm that utterly destroyed all life in their solar system. It was constructed by a consortium of the greatest minds of their civilization to carry 5 million colonists to a new sun. The ark was highly compartmentalized, with each biosphere holding its own culture and fully self-sufficient, capable of functioning even if isolated from the ship such as in the emergency lockdown protocols.

Special Equipment:
Cloning Complexes: The SS Daria possesses sufficient cloning complexes to grow 1 million individuals over the course of 3 years.
Genetic Engineering Complexes: The SS Daria possesses extensive gene banks and genetic engineering facilities, capable of most feats available to genetic masters in the galaxy at large. This particular complex is geared towards providing enhanced resistance to disease and radiation, and all such modifications are one step lower in difficulty.
Capsule: This vessel consists of a rectangular body festooned with globular superstructures and expansive cityscapes, climbing towers and domes residential areas, as well as four massive legs for landing on terrestrial bodies. The ship was a massive nuclear-powered colony ship created by the Darians to escape their dying world. However, all but one of the ships’ nuclear reactors exploded 900 years ago, severely damaging the vessel and mutating all but 14 of the inhabitants; the vessel rapidly replenished the population with emergency cloning using its’ stored biomass, but even so most of the population suffers from severe genetic disorders and has descended into semi-feudal technological barbarism, while the 14 healthy command staff are worshiped as living divinities. A brutal system has emerged since the damage; The drains have resorted to cannibalism, feeding the mutated and infirm to the ships’ food recycling system, while the healthy are preserved for sacrifice. Upon being sacrificed, the victim has their genetic materials stored in the ships’ gene bank, while their organs harvested to provide life-extending transplants for the 14 “true” Darians, who have lived for several centuries. Once the Survivor population dies off, the 14 commanders will use the ships’ genes bank to create a new Darian race to replace the mutants.

Hygelac, welcome to the Pit and thanks for sharing these stats. Please see the forum guidelines in my signature. You can't share large images or the text of very long URLs. (These stretch the page requiring right and left scrolling for typical computer screens viewing 150% magnification.) I had already fixed your first post in this thread. Both of the links in the second post go a redirect page of a much shorter URL. Please edit your post to include the shorter URLs. Thank you.

Hey Whill, thanks for the advice. I’ll review the forum posting guidelines pronto, and have removed the obscenely long URLs.
