====== Maltese Falcon-Class ======

Although comfortable, it is not as luxurious as some yachts,
but its fast interplanetary speed, defensive armament, and
decent armor makes it a popular choice for those dignitaries
who place a high value on speed and security.  The ship
uses a 1,000-ton (SM +8) streamlined hull about 45 meters
long. Ships are named for fictional treasures.

It is a typical yacht for minor noble houses and yacht rental services.
