Description: A large vessel used solely as crew-rescue ships, the Lifeboat is an armored hull with no weapons whatsoever. The lack of even point defense weaponry is to ensure there is no possibility that an enemy craft could scan the vessel and find any reason to fire upon it. Without a single weapon signature onboard, only a heartless and cruel foe would fire upon a Lifeboat.

They make room for a dozen passengers and a few hundred pounds of their possessions in each of the partitioned ‘cabins’, but all are localized around a central corridor that leads up to the open cockpit near the front of the ship. Built with very powerful engines and above-average life support systems, the Lifeboat is designed to quickly take survivors or refugees from a doomed ship away from the battle – hopefully toward friendly rescue ships.
