Description[edit]

The LC-100 "Astrolux" StarYacht was introduced in 2953 as a long-range spacecraft for private citizens. Unarmed but adequately armored, this 200-ton small craft is relatively fast and is capable of up to 4g of acceleration. The design is noted for being one of Lockheed-CBM Corporation's most popular civilian products and has spawned several knockoffs.[1]

Cargo[edit]

The vessel features luxury quarters for seven passengers and a generous five-ton cargo bay (7.5 tons with one bay door according to its stats listing), food storage for a month of sustained space travel and 20 tons of fuel for 10.87 burn days.[1]

Variants[edit]

None known.

Design Quirks[edit]

None known.

Notes[edit]

  • The craft is sometimes spelled using camel case (AstroLux) in canon sources.[2][3]
