Skychaser class colonyship
Sublight: 1 x Heavy Fusion Pulse Engine
FTL drive: Uses the Gateway Device
An early colonyship type employed by the Orcish Community in the First Star system, developed by Orcish Designs Corporation.
When the Great Cataclysm of Orceron occurred, many of these vessels were used as refugee vessels and formed the Home Fleet.
Variants
Mark I
The Mark I variant was a sleeper ship, originally designed to travel at sublight speeds from system to system. It could house 300 000 colonists in cryo storage, in addition to a large selection of construction materials and organics.
Mark II
Significantly improved life support allowed Mark II variants to house an additional 62 000 colonists for three Orceronian years without cryogenics, enough time to make the transit through the Orbital Gateway to another star system.
Mark III
The prototype Mark III would have allowed for even further operating periods of up to 50 years, but development was halted by the Great Cataclysm of Orceron.
