Overview:

The crew quarters of the massive Star Lord Class JumpShip are among the most luxurious of any vessel. However, the sheer expense of purchasing and maintaining a Star Lord has kept all but a handful of these craft in the service of the Successor States or the Clans.

The Star Lord has six docking collars evenly spaced along the half-kilometer length of its KF drive. Each collar is located near one of the Star Lord's six large cargo bays. Each bay can hold 500 tons of cargo. The Star Lord's docking collars are equipped with a series of grapples that guide approaching vessels. These grapples can also reel in DropShips of up to 10,000 tons. This feature has proved particularly useful in recovering damaged craft, and most of the Successor States maintain several Star Lords solely for recovery operations.

The Star Lord's 30 crew members each have a single-occupancy room. All the rooms are well furnished and have automated food-preparation systems as well as private washrooms. An additional 50 staterooms are reserved for visitors, usually the crews of transported DropShips. These quarters are not as comfortable as those reserved for the Star Lord crew but are more spacious than most DropShip quarters. The Star Lord's massive grav deck, 20 meters wide and 110 meters in diameter, contains a number of lounge and recreation facilities for both crew and passengers.

A small hangar bay in the Star Lord's command section enables the vessel to transport four small craft, used primarily for transferring personnel and cargo. These facilities are reasonably sophisticated and allow two craft to be maintained or repaired simultaneously. Unusually, the Star Lord rarely carries aerospace fighters and relies on transported DropShips for protection.
