[Spaceships] Gem Class Casino Liner

[Cernig]

I thought I'd get away from warships for a while and design some unusual commercial ships, something to hanfg an adventure around. Here's the first.

The sleek Gem Class is a popular pleasure liner combining style and gracious living with affordability. Each has a large casino area, sports courts, spas, cabins ranging from common to luxurious and other fittings commensurate with a holiday liner. Ships in the Class all have names beginning with some form of gemstone and then having a unique identifier. E.g. Diamond Fate, Ruby Lucky Star. One ship of the class, the Garnet Bon Chance, was the scene of the most awful pirate atrocity incident in recent memory.

Description: The Gem Class is middling-luxurious and is intended for major trade route pleasure trips. Most have status as extra-territorial casinos, paying no taxes to any system. They are 700 feet long, SM11 at 30,000 tons and are not intended for planetary landing despite their streamlined appearance - that‘s just for looks. They are unarmed and unarmored.

Embarked smaller vessels: 15 Shuttles and 25 Cutters for passenger/cargo transfers.
