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.

The normal crew complement consists of three bridge crew (captain/navigator, pilot, and engineering officer), a gunner, a ship’s doctor, a gardener, and an engine-room technician. A chief steward and at least four attendants take care of the owner’s and guests’ needs. 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.
