Stellar Class

The Stellar is a class of corvette type defensive starships built and maintained by the Brayburn Society for use by the Society Space Corps for the defense of Earth. It is the first ship built and designed entirely by the Society, and not a hybrid ship in the same way the Destiny class was. The Stellar Class consists of 16 total ships, built entirely using both borrowed, and reverse engineered (and in some cases flat out stolen) technology from the Gayik'Von, and several other species around the galaxy from which Earth was able to acquire technology.

The starships themselves have an almost F1 race car appearance to them (sans wheels, of course) with a blunted, spear like nose, and wide aft body. The wide aft body (this includes stern and midsection) is there because the ship is built around her dual warp nacelles to provide better protection for them during combat; an idea that was given to them by the Gayik'Von, as they too employ a similar idea with their battleships. The starships themselves were not meant to completely replace the Destiny class, their forebears, but rather to compliment them in Earth's defense.

Internal Layout

Due to the tactical needs of the ship, the crew space aboard the vessel is a bit cramped, with limited areas for the crew to eat, sleep, and gather, as the rest of the space is needed for the ship's systems. However, there is enough bunk space for two crewmembers per bunk, with spare sleeping space for up to 4 guests. The reason for the shared bunks is for the same previously mentioned lack of crew space, forcing the crew to make due with shared living spaces. Only the captain and first officer have their own personal bunks, and even then they share the same quarters.

Crew

A typical Stellar Class starship has a crew of 45, including two medical staff. The bridge crew consists of the captain, a pilot, operations, tactical, and an engineer in a diamond seating configuration with the captain at the center, ops to his right, tactical to his left, helm in front of him, and engineering behind him.
