For all the bits and pieces that go on ships.

Commercial Liners

"Unlike a Fleet vessel, with its unmistakable emergency sirens, the passenger liner's sole indication of its status was a demure strip of red and white lights where the floor met the wall and the occasional repeition of a message 'to please stay in your cabins until the crew gives you further instructions.'[1]


  • Short-lapse EVA softsuits: attached to a ship by an umbilical. Long hair must be braided and wound around the head to fit, and species with long ears like Aera may need to tuck back their ears.[2]

Well Drive

Located in engineering on Fleet ships: an "enormous central chamber with its pulsing Well capsule."[3] Has a bleed-off system, and overload of that system causes enough damage to cripple a ship.[4]

Has five "speeds":

  • 1
  • 2
  • 3 (The Lip of the Well); most civilian ships stop here.
  • 4 Courier ships occasionally go this speed.
  • 5 (The Well's Deep) This speed is only typical of Fleet vessels pushing things.
