====== Ulysses-Class ====== This compact, winged space yacht is designed for extended interstellar wanderjahrs, safaris, amateur archeology or xenobiology expeditions, and similar excursions. It uses a streamlined hull that masses 300 tons (SM +7) and is about 40 meters long. It isn’t as luxurious as some yachts, but it is safe and self-sufficient, including full automation, onboard manufacturing gear, and total life support. Its modest science array is intended to support amateur research. The hangar is too small for a spaceship, but useful for roll-on/roll-off cargo such as the owner’s limousine or sailboat. Vessels are named after legendary or famous travelers, adventurers, and explorers.
