====== Taj-Mahal class ====== This beautiful starship might be a billionaire’s toy or a rich corporate yacht. Using a streamlined hull that masses 1,000 tons (SM +8) and reaches 90 meters long, no expense has been spared to create a private craft that’s both luxurious and powerful. It has a small ballroom, a pool, and even a garden. Habitat space includes both luxury cabins and plainer accommodations for crew or servants. The diamondoid armor of the hull makes the entire ship a glittering jewel and also gives its owner protection better than some naval frigates! Vessels are named after splendid works of architecture.

Some crew may be cross trained for security duties, or there may be a dedicated close protection team of bodyguards quartered with the crew and servants. ^TL^ Spacecraft ^dHP^Hnd/SR^ HT ^Mv ^LWt.^ Load^ SM^ Occ^ dDR^Spd^ Cost^Prod/Inv^Notes^ |11| [[Taj Mahal-Class]] |70(50) |-1/5 |13 |10G| 1,000 |30| +8 |36ASV |40 +580| 4.5x |$80.6M|16k/78k|This is the ultimate new luxury yacht for the lesser noble houses and the lesser members of the great houses.|
