Ge'kina Class Passenger Liner

A passenger transport that was designed nearly two hundred years before the Neshaten regained faster-than-light travel. The ship is designed to ferry passengers from planet to planet. It was made available in ER 777.

About the Ge'kina

The Ge'kina is a replacement to an older, more obsolete, passenger liner that was designed in ER 387. It can ferry passengers to either an orbiting station, a starship that has the ability to dock ships of this size, or ferry passengers to another planet entirely. The ship has weapons, but they are intended purely as defense.

History

The Ge'kina was designed in ER 720 to replace an older, aging passenger liner that didn't have FTL capability but also lacked weaponry, due to a small rise in piracy and the worries that another foreign race - if one was ever discovered - could pray on civilian ships.

Designed from the ground up to handle the heat of re-entry, the ship's hull was also dual designed to withstand the punishing effects of Nesha Prime treacherous weather.

Appearance

The Ge'kine has a slopped arrowhead like shape, with the rear section housing the ships four large engines, and its front section housing the bridge. The entire center section holds the crew and passenger compartments along with recreational and observation rooms.

Passenger loading is from the front of the ship, where a passenger walkway extends to give people access to the ship and then toward the passenger seating and cabins, but also, access to the cargo hold which is also located along the ships belly.

There are hardware points on the ship’s hull to allow turrets to be connected, two located on top, two beneath.

If a citizen buys an unarmed Ge'kina, but then decides to add weapons down the line, they must buy a weaponized license from the government. This license ensures that they have the authority of the government to arm their vessel, however, armed vessels that are 'not' leased from the government are placed under much more strict control and are subject to vessel searches at every port they land on, to ensure that the ship is operating as the law states.
